@IamDaytrader Год назад

Debating what to do. Ive got to have navigation if i upgrade. Rear camera has to stay functional and preferably OEM fit. Thinking about buying an android system from Amazon but it would be nice to have something OEM. Ouch saw your kit prices so that tells me right away im going for a new android head unit and dash bezel included for $250. Had an android unit before and was very happy. At least i can crank up Netflix while I’m out and about. Definitely not a die hard OEM guy. Nice conversion though.

@shill6449 2 года назад

How things have changed. I used to upgrade car audio back in the 80's and 90's and it barely took a few min's to slide out the original, disconnect wiring and slide in the new head unit, and reconnect wiring - All using a cople of `u' shaped release keys! Cleary the motor industry has overlooked ease of access when designing the centre instrument console????

@IamDaytrader Год назад

Haha i just found my U shaped removal tools the other day sorting through bins. Good laugh.

@Muxik4k Год назад

The reason might be theft

@NaviUpgrade Год назад

Because this is an OEM upgrade. Ford didn't want people with base model vehicles to be able to do this so wiring and all sorts of programming things were changed to make it not plug and play. At the end of the day Ford makes more money by upselling customers and that's why this process is not done by Ford or any Ford Dealers...
