Awesome! I'd love to see more specific specs on the system. I am assuming it is running a version of android. Screen res would also be nice. Of course price as well.

Wanted to see how the sync responds to voice commands and if the buttons all work on the steering wheel. He only showed volume up or down and the arrows, not the pick up or hang up call and activate sync voice buttons. Let me know if they respond and if those are thing ou were curious about as well. Also the price! Lol

That is pretty sleek. Like that it integrates. Scared to see final cost.

That screen didn't seem very responsive. I'm more interested in the bezel they've got. Pair that with an apple CarPlay radio, and I'm in.

It looks as though they did exactly what I wanted to do... They took a base model climate control board and cut it just above the volume and tune controls. They then were able to fit that modified board into a custom nav bezel. For anyone interested, this is what the back of an OEM nav bezel looks like.

I don't see Mustang on their list of compatible vehicles

I am assuming this is a new system that they have yet to add to their site.

Ok i messaged them and heard back the unit is looking to ship around June 15th. Screen resolution is 800x480, They are providing a new bezel so that the factory one can be retained to use again. Pricing is $1599 but they are offering a early special at $999. I asked about the factory reverse cam and there response was it should be able to work. The downside for me is they are located in China, and this is a new product that isn't a lot of info on the web about. I am not sure if this will be something I will be interested in, as the OS is not native ford mytouch but an unknown O/S. Support is an issue that does worry me a little bit going to continue to talk to them and will update the thread. Please ask any questions here and I will be more than happy to ask them for you and post a response.

Thank you for the update! $1599 is a bit pricey... Would they sell the bezel separately from their system? That would make a lot of us on this forum very happy.

Yes, I agree. That would be perfect

 

[Iceman2733]

I will ask for you guys. At the $999 price tag I would be more than happy to pay for genuine ford parts and system. Just worries me a little bit with support, I know delay was brought up I am pretty sure the actual ford touch does also. What are your guys thoughts about price point?

 

[Asonitez]

Wow this looks great. Def interested in this.

Right, if this genuine ford stuff it'd be perfect. I don't feel comfortable putting a Chinese knockoff MFT screen in my car. Just don't think it belongs. And yes the MFT with Sync 2 lags a bit, but this was way worse than that, and the calibration seems to be off. I really want this bezel but I don't think I'd pay more than $400 for it tho.
