I know they couldn't do it fully because of transferring over the HVAC controls, but it'd be nice if the brushed look was carried on throughout the whole thing instead of just surrounding the top.

With some more time using the 10.2” system I can say I am really happy with it! Unit connects to my phone rather quickly after starting the car. I simply click the Bluetooth icon on the home screen, then the music symbol at the bottom center and pandora will start playing from my phone. Incoming/outgoing calls seem to be just fine over Bluetooth also. Looks sooooooo much better in the dash too. Great upgrade!!

With the bluetooth connection is it reading track info?

Have you tried Carwebguru?

Does the backup camera retain the trajectory markers? (The ones that move with the steering wheel)

Any blatant broken English text?

No it’s not displaying track info on the screen, but I don’t mind.

No I haven’t tried or heard of that link, but I will check it out for sure.

Yes the trajectory markers are the same as factory and move when the wheel turns. The backup view is incredible on the 10” screen lol.

Nothing I’ve seen. All radio stations read the content correctly in English words. Temp display is in celcuis tho.

If you can find one on eBay this might be of interest. There is a 20 percent off until tonight sometime.

I just picked up one from the same seller you got yours from I think.
Used the 20% off coupon ebay was running.

Where did you mount your MIC?

Definitely recommend giving CarWebGuru a shot, I love it on my head unit and you can customize it somewhat easily.

If you jump real quick on it, you could get this for ~$440 right now with the eBay coupon that is expiring soon.

Nice! Good timing on the eBay 20% sale. I ran it through the dash and out towards the steering column so it’s where the little slits under the dash trim on the drive side are. I’ll post a pic later

Just got mine today. Looking at all the connections it seems like there are lots of extra. Anyone know what the purple one is coming off the inside of the Canbus decoder? What is Radar in? Seems to be a lot of options for additional features. Ive not tore into the car yet. What about that ground harness? I used google translate and it looks like some kind of button light?

With the eBay coupon I got the 2gb for about 430 shipped. I had already asked about an upgrade with a seller message and they were offering a free upgrade. They then updated the listing to 2GB. That one is a different seller.

I started disassembly and noticed this panel. I had never payed attention to it. Has some kind of sensor module in there with a rubber retention strap. I tried to google it. Some other Fords seem to have the same deal and it is the temperature sensor apparently. Does your voice pick up from that location?
