So as many of you may know, I have successfully added MyFord Touch to my base model 2015 V6. Unlike what many would lead you to believe it is indeed possible and not cost prohibitive! What follows is the documentation on just how I did my swap.
I want to first give credit to two other forum members here that had major roles in this project!
aggieStang: The first to even attempt this swap! He helped me out with much of the wiring and provided wiring diagrams
jmr061: The genius behind the programming required to make this swap a reality!
ORDER PRICE LIST FOR OEMRADIO:
Sync 2 MFT: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3j7ElB-PVhqbFlZZEI0MEY1eE0/view
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO: Add MFT to base model S550
PLEASE NOTE: Mechanical skill, wiring skill, and fabrication skills are required to do this swap successfully.
A Plug and Play harness is available from OEMRadio to make this swap much easier for those wishing to avoid wiring!
OEM parts to find or buy as a kit:
MFT bezel (usually found on eBay for ~$300)
Mustang APIM and Screen (eBay for ~$400)
Mustang Multimedia module (in parts list below)
Mustang Multimedia module usb cable (in parts list below)
A7 maps card (eBay $60)
Both OEMRadio and jmr061 have these parts available as well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The DIY Method
Parts required:
1) MFT screen and APIM unit (usually sold as one) (eBay $150-$250)
2014-2015 escape screens have been proven to work and are on average the cheapest. My APIM part number is as follows DJ5T-14F239-DD
NOTE: JMR and OEMRadio have Nav APIM's and screens available for purchase. The bundle will include the screen, apim, a6 maps card, and all appropriate programming for $500 for JMR. OEMRadio pricing is $500 for a NAV APIM and $400 for a non NAV APIM
NOTE 2: If buying separately from ebay I HIGHLY suggest you confirm that the screen and APIM are navigation enabled. It is very expensive to add this after the fact. Request the vin before purchase and do a window sticker lookup to confirm that the vehicle had navigation as an installed option.
2) QTY 3 WT1000 wiring harness repair kits (Fordparts.com $24 each) These are for the missing pins on the sync module connector.
3) 2015 Mustang Multimedia module. (Fordparts.com $117 *can be found elsewhere as low as $89) Part number: FR3Z-19A387-A
4) A6 Maps SD card (eBay or though jmr061 for $60)
5) 2015 Mustang Multimedia module USB cable (Fordparts.com $41) Part number: 14D202A http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/P...search=true&year=2015&make=Ford&model=Mustang
6) 2015 Mustang Multimedia module wiring harness connector pigtail ($57) Part Number: WPT998
7) MFT Screen Bezel ($78) You can order this part through my shapeways site!
https://www.shapeways.com/product/5...creen-bezel?li=shop-results&optionId=57705220
Paint to match OEM bezel color: http://www.amazon.com/Dupli-Color-BCC0427-Brilliant-Exact-Match-Automotive/dp/B00407TTEW
Or you can use the OEM MFT bezel as it has been proven to work.
Can be found on eBay for around $400
8) MFT APIM Programing ($200) Contact Jmr061 or OEMRadio about having your APIM programmed. If you wish to purchase a screen and APIM with Navigation programmed for your Mustang contact JMR061 or OEMRadio - Pricing is $500 shipped in USA for both.
9) ACM reprogram. ($60-$100) This is required to have audio during bluetooth calls. It will require a dealer or repair shop with IDS (Ford Programming Software) to modify the as built data of the ACM. JMR061 will provide the change in programming with the MFT programming. OEMRadio requests that you send in your ACM or he can provide you with one in order to complete this step.
Total Cost Navigation: ~$800 if you follow the above parts list
Total Cost MFT without Nav: ~$560 (Only buy # 1, QTY 1 of #2, 7, 8)
MFT/SYNC 3 Brackets: Brackets specific to the S550 are required to properly install the 8" touchscreen. These brackets are difficult to source if purchasing a non mustang APIM.
Below is a listing to my shapeways site with the brackets required. I designed these brackets to be a direct replacement for OEM.

Wiring Diagrams:
Attached to this thread is a conversion table that shows all of the pins on the APIM (sync) connector that need attention. Some pins have to switch places within the APIM connector and some have to be pulled in from outside sources like the camera leads and MS CAN. Both of these connections need to be tapped into from other harnesses. The camera leads exist in the base 4.2" LCD FDCIM connector pins 6 and 12 and the MS CAN leads exist in the front panel connector. Wiring diagrams below show this. Pins 17 and 18 on the FCIM connector A are the best to tap into to get MS CAN. These then need to be routed to pins 16 and 17 on the APIM connector.
Also attached is the wiring diagram for the Multimedia module. Since base models do not have this module so the wiring is not present. You will need 26, 22, and 20 gauge wire to build a harness for this module.
In addition to this the MFT APIM only has one USB connector so the dash usb port will need to be routed to the rear USB plug on the Multimedia module. The multimedia hub acts like a usb hub basically. You can easily route the dash usb to the console using the original USB wiring. Connect both usb connects (will need micro usb to micro usb adapter) behind the APIM and then at the console end of the original usb port have a USB A adapter to micro USB adapter to plug in to the rear plug on the multimedia module.
