I think after 32 pages people aren't going back and reading the FIRST post. Should really clean this up...make one sticky or something.

i feel very strongly that we need to break into a 2016 conversion thread.

there will be different part numbers and procedure, unless you want to update first post

Does anyone know where I can find the OEM MFT Bezel? I have been looking at ebay but nothing. Can the bezel be purchased from ford parts? If so what is it called or the Part #

Thanks for the find. It seems like that unit has a few cosmetic issues. I'll have to think about that one. Do you know what this exact piece is called if I was to look for it on fordparts?...

EDIT:...Found it. FR3Z-18842-BA

Any chance we can expect to see a video install going from base to premium bezel with MFT?

Damn 650+ for a bezel. Yeah I wonder if it comes with everything but the screen for that price. Too much money for OEM. I'll stick to eBay and a knock off OEM system. But if you got the cash more power too ya.

I've read through the whole thread but still want to clarify.

What exactly do you need other than the OEM Bezel and a screen + APIM form JMR to retrofit the OEM Bezel into a 2016 Base model?

Those are the main components. You need all of the small wiring bits such as connector pins and the Multimedia Module which will allow the nav to function. the multimedia module houses the sd card which all nav maps are stored on.

As far as installing the bezel and the MFT screen is it just a full replacement as in take off the base bezel and put in the OEM MFT bezel?

You need to do the wiring as stated in the OP but yes.

Another noob question for you.
From what I understand if I just use the factory OEM MFT bezel and the OEM msutang screen plus the OEM APIM... Just the 3 units I wont need to do any programming or bezel mods right? ... also I wouldn't have nav but the rest would work (except the 4th toggle and the seat heat/cool buttons) right?

If you got everything from a 2015 mustang (screen, apim, bezel, AND the radio headunit) you will not need any programming. That said you will be hard pressed to find all of these parts for cheaper then jmr061 is offering them.
