Hey, I have a base ecoboost head unit (4"screen) and someone is selling a premium head unit bezel only. Can I put in the premium bezel even though I don't have heated seats? Then add for example a different 8" head unit such as the Pioneer? Thanks in advance!

A Pioneer unit won't fit in an OEM bezel, you'd need one of the Metra or Schoshe kits to hold that and I think they start at about $350 or $400 for just the bezel.

Someone else might be able to give a better answer on whether the other bezel will work with a base though.

Scosche and Metra both make kits for the base cars to add aftermarket radios for ~$450. The premium bezel is useless unless you are planning on doing a Sync 3 swap.

i actually did install a premium bezel in my base. you have to remove the STYNC module and bracket (also required to install the metra kit) to make room for the depth of a double din. you should be able to install any double din unit once you make that modification.

ive got a thread buried in here somewhere showing my setup if you care to search for it.

Ive since moved onto another setup, might be willing to sell my bezel.

As a bonus using forscan you MAY be able to activate the drive modes, i did on my gt, but im not sure about the ecobeast.

oh and to answer your question, the heated seats button just didnt do anything on mine. it would light up but obviously had not function. and i believe 7inch may be the largest touchsreen for the double din opening.
