671Stang

Hey all, I recently bought a 2015 EcoBoost Mustang with the performance package and while I love just about everything about it, I would really like to replace the base 4.2" screen/radio with full head unit. Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding anything online.

Does anyone know if replacing the base unit is possible and if so, how and with what did you replace it.

you're either going to have to have a (good) shop fabricate something or wait for the installer outfitters like Scosche and Metra to come up with hardware.

That's what I've been noticing as I've looked around. The worst part of it is I'm stationed in Guam so my options are extremely limited and expensive. Thanks for the advice, I'll look into those places you mentioned

Cool I'll try calling them, I checked their online store but no ones released a dash unit for the 2015 yet so that's where I'm stuck

yep. I'm sure dash kits will show up sooner or later, but for now custom fabrication is your only option. if I remember right, it took about a year before dash kits came out for the 2010+ S197. thing you have to keep in mind is that the center stack panel (behind which sits the radio) is an integrated control panel which has all of the multimedia controls and the climate control module. any company coming up with a replacement panel has to develop a replacement control panel and climate control module. I'm not sure if they have to "reverse engineer" it or if they get any assistance from the car manufacturer.

I'm pretty sure I have seem a dash unit on line some where, that's why I responded to your post. If there is one out Crutchfield should know about it, not everything that is out is on their site with pictures. I have a Pioneer double dim head unit that I have left over from another car and I was looking at a dash unit for it , if I decide to use it. I do have a base 2015 GT.
