If you know the part number you can search for it here. However, I would contact and make sure that the electronics are compatible. A quick google search told me that a lot of people want to do this, but some people say the electronics aren't compatible.

I've spoken with numerous dealerships and ultimately spoke with corporate-level Ford over the phone.

Unfortunately, the official word is that this upgrade is pretty much impossible. The wiring is completely different and switching the computer systems out makes it even more difficult.

Oh, well.

How can people possibly still be screaming into their keyboards? It's 2011 already, fer cryin' out loud. It's just ridiculous. An entire generation has already grown up with the internet.

I have done this Upgrade myself on my 2007. I was an easy 15 minute install, just take your time, be careful and neat and the job will come out professional. Look up Taco Bills How To's and there is an excellent write up on how to achieve this as well as where to purchase one. I cost me all of $304.00.

I have not heard of this being successfully being done on a 2010+ yet. I don't think the harness that the new headlight switch needs to be plugged to exists in base model cars.

Hi stevejf,

You can find both, the steering wheel and the MyColor cluster at www.FordParts.com. I researched the full function of these on your vehicles and found that some of the features may not work. I hope this helps.

Not VX-20, but I know quite a few people that do. I work in a soon-to-be-shut-down lab in a PMA at Webster Field (home of the UAVs).
