Default 11-14 Touch Screen Sync

I was wondering, my bluetooth and other things are going out on my stock radio in my 2012 GT. I was wondering if when I take it into Ford, if I can purchase and have them install the Ford touchscreen/nav radio head unit upgrade instead of having the plain jane put back in?

No. The touchscreen/nav was only paired with (and requires) automatic climate controls. Your car doesn't have them and they can't easily be added after the car is built.

i have seen guys make a custom dash for a f150 and put an ipad in it looks good imo.

I've thought about the iPad one. I just don't know if it'll be too large of a screen or what. I mean it does look nice but idk lol. I'm one of those I'd like to see it in person first before I jump on it.

i have just seen the pics and read all 16 pages of posts seems everyone is happy with it in their f150's says he can do it in any vehicle. as for the screen bigger is better imo but he can do minis as well or any android tablet too. I have no connection with him at all just seen you were looking for something. I think they look great and most people have tablets nowadays and goolge maps is far better then anything ford has and you dont have to pay for map updates.

Very true about all that, I'll have to look into getting it done. There are some audio shops that would probably do it around here. Thanks

Yikes...that is horrible!

I dislike all of the cheapo aftermarket kits, but at lest the ipad route looks somewhat decent. To me, all of those aftermarket head units will cut your cars resale value.
