Heā€™s in the right thread now. The other person suggested in that thread you linked has been selling people 2016-2017 APIMs running hacked software. My friends at work are aware šŸ˜‰

I love the detail on this from but to simplify to convert base 4 to sync 3 8 inch is to take apart Add mustang 4 to 8 wiring harness
Add the apim touch screen and the sync 3 usb if wanted xm radio now the programming if it isnā€™t programmed will it turn on will just have less features as in Bluetooth and if programming is needed which file needs to download to add to vehicle

I have an APIM/Screen from a 2019 Fusion I just purchased from eBay as well as a couple of bezels I found. Will the APIM/Screen work? Will either of those bezels work too? I have a 2019 GT Base with 4in display.
Screen/APIM: https://www.ebay.com/itm/184972113287
Bezel 1: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224370209313
Bezel 2: https://www.ebay.com/itm/304076410509

Yes the bezels would work 4 or 8 inch display donā€™t matter it will fit in. long as itā€™s not a Shelby button wouldnā€™t work

I hate to bump this but Iā€™d like an opinion before tearing this thing apart. I just installed everything from a base system to sync 3. I had bought a plug and place harness elsewhere (could be suspect), and tested it before I put it all together. The touchscreen and audio all worked but the cluster wouldnā€™t light up when I hit the start button. I put it all together thinking maybe it was because I didnā€™t have the plug under the console for the key wasnā€™t plugged in. With it all together it wonā€™t turn on at all now. If I bypass the smaller plug on the back of the bezel and plug the factory harness directly to the bezel everything works except for the radio. Anyone seen a similar issue? In the meantime I emailed the seller about the harness and will hopefully get another one to swap in.

I think I figured it out. I didnā€™t use the harness for the bezel and acm. Everything else I did and it works. The only things Iā€™ve noticed is that sync will work but the voice doesnā€™t, phone calls have no audio and once I hang up the phone itā€™ll go back to the radio but thereā€™s no sound. I have to switch channels to get sound back. Oh and the compass keeps flipping from the direction Iā€™m going to the opposite direction. Any help?
