If it would have said If you have a premium with MFT and nav and HD and and H/C seats and want to switch you need x....x....x....x... and the part numbers are here on this single list
I don't think you read very much of this thread... You would see I'm not sarcastic internet guy. I always ask people that don't understand "why?" in an attempt to fix the issue with the OP.

I answered your question, but you seem stuck on part numbers. Ford Electronics don't really have part numbers, you can't just walk into a dealer and ask for them by part number. You'll need the VIN (to satisfy the Ford ordering process) and you'll pay out the ass for new or reman electronics (and that's BEFORE the core charge). They have engineering numbers. What you need to do is start searching for the Sync 3 APIM/Touchscreen. Once you have that AND the VIN you can order the rest of the parts I posted.

Yea not into the idea of ordering from Ford, you are right and they do think everything they sell is made of gold. I have been reading which is what it was that got me all confused. Information overload I think would be a good way to put it. I am usually able to figure things out but this subject has me dumbfounded for some reason. I feel like I am trying to do Trigonometry for the first time again, except this time I dont know how to even add. :frusty::headbonk:

Well it seems like I don't have the screws that fix the apim to the screen, as well as the screws that fix the side bracket to the screen. Could anyone tell me what size they are?

Finally completed the upgrade to Sync 3 in my base V6. I went with Non-nav and Sirius XM+HD Radio setup. Everything works great except i have to change some values in FORScan. Don't have the OBD Link tool yet so need to order one.

HUGE HUGE Thanks to the OP [MENTION=28081]HextallS550[/MENTION]. This guy is amazing. Thank you so much for being patient and answering all my questions. He will be willing to do anything for you and go the extra mile. It's hard to find such people nowadays. :clap2::clap2: Also thanks to [MENTION=25607]Spart[/MENTION] [MENTION=21358]stang1971[/MENTION] [MENTION=22748]soldier989[/MENTION] who answered my questions.

I will write a detailed write up with some tips and where I was stuck. Here are some pics and my parts list.

Sorry but I didn't have the correct screwdrivers to measure the size. I have pics and not sure if they will help.

Excellent job Krishna, once you program your ABD I'm sure you'll love it. [MENTION=25607]Spart[/MENTION], saw your reply in the As built thread, I think what we need is an ABD repository. Just like users of HP Tuners can access calibrations we can set up something for users with specific builds.

Nice job! It looks good! I got a $24 ELM327 tool off eBay to use Forscan, it works well.

When checking out pics of the 2018 interior, I noticed a premium bezel without heated/cooled seats paired with cloth seats. This leads me to believe there will be an option to get SYNC3 without having to get the premium package for 2018. This would explain the huge backorder for the bezel, since they may be on high demand from Ford right now. If that is the case, then finding a bezel without heated seats may soon be a lot easier from wrecked Mustangs.

How do we get Sirius subscription activated? If the VIN has to be provided, should I give my current vehicle's VIN or the VIN from which APIM/ACM was taken?

No VIN needed, just read the ESN from the radio, that's what they need. Tune it to channel 0 or 1 (never can remember) and your screen will show you the Sirius info.
