There are 3 wrecked mustangs with the 8 inch screen system not far from me. What do I need to take from the donor car. 6 If I want to drive to Louisville.

Could also upgrade to Sync 4 if you wanted to fork over some extra $ instead of using the old sync 3 which I actually have disdain over.

I'm not a fan of touch screens in cars, I would like to have the drive modes.

What cars have sync 4? and what does it do better than 3. Except for the drive modes I like the base screen.

What beside the screen, radio unit and trim piece needs to be changed to upgrade to the 8 inch screen?

If it was a 2019+ thats all you will need other than some Forscan changes. Before 2019 you will need a harness adaptor I believe. I would contact Tom from Hextall.

Hextall is on here and there’s a huge thread from him on this topic. I got a quote from him, just trying to figure out if I want to do it. Very reasonable price considering you’re getting a factory unit and they do the programming for you once installed

edit: their kits include everything you will need for install so there’s no guessing as far as parts are concerned

Everything just operates more smoothly and timely on the sync 4 screens as well as wireless carplay instead of being mandatory that it is plugged in for carplay to work or android if you've got a droid.

There is a lot there for sure. The easiest is to message him and he’ll give you his email. Email him with your model year and VIN and he’ll get you a quote. Other than install tools, the only thing you’ll need is a laptop and OBDLink EX. Their kit comes with everything you need based on your VIN and model year.

if you get into replacing hardware, give ‘4dtech’ a try, OEM goods.

if you get into replacing hardware,

Looks like I ruined it. I can get the 8 inch stuff from a u pull it junk yard 109 miles from me. They have 3 cars at this yard and 3 more in Louisville. They want 275 for the hardware. or I can get a used 4 inch screen and radio head unit for right at 200.

I learned the hard way the 10 amp radio fuse also protects the remote unlock.

i don’t claim to understand the intricacies of installing ‘pre-assigned’ hardware but isn’t there some tying-in to your VIN required??

Do you want my stock radio? It’s the navigation one. You help me all the time I won’t charge you for it. It’ll be a thank you for all your help!
