I'm afraid my language is far too colorful for voice commands. Also, I didn't know that was a feature.

A short interlude in regards to the console USB hub. It is difficult to remove. Here is a picture of the entire assembly. Note the clips on all 4 sides.

This is where the console will rest during most of the operation.

After much anguish and dirty words, it's disconnected and can be moved about a bit. We wish to move it back, away from the bezel.

Once those 4 screws are removed, I open the console locker and start prying it up, starting at the back. This does not come off easy. A yellow pry tool is shown in the photo.

The panels removed reveal 2 7mm screws (on each side) that help fasten the console to the rest of the car. Be careful with these, they can easily pop right off.

This is one of the panels. Note the clips, and yes, that appears to be a magnet.

Using a plastic dash pry tool and my delicate fingers, I removed the panel. I thought I broke it, but it seems fine.

Starting with this little panel by the passenger side door.

The project has finally begun. The photo below depicts the starting point, the sad little screen. No nav, no nothing. First, I will have to disassemble the dash.

I ordered an upgrade kit from The Parts Farm on ebay. parts farm - ebay It included the bezel, screen, acm, various wires, etc, including a harness. I haven't installed it yet, so I have no real idea how it's going to work out. I've got a thread here about it: Possibly Upgrading Infotainment...

Hello, about a month ago I purchased a black 2016 Mustang convertible base model V6. I've got a thread around here somewhere about upgrading the infotainment unit to an 8" Sync 3. It just needs to stop raining so I can start. There is also an impressive number of paint chips that will have to be...
