I think I’m gonna go ahead and do this swap. I lover everything about it except for the printed bottom trim people are using. I’ll send the screen to my friends at MTI to fab something more oem looking.

The bottom piece fits good, I mean we are doing a retro fit of something that isn’t supposed to go there is never going to be 100%

Something like this? When you turn off the car this is what it shows. Now I have a Ford Explorer ST/ Navigator
I think livingitup has a file to fix the l8ncoln thing
Did you try resetting the splash screen in forscan
That set up looks perfect. Great height and everything
Have a parts list you can share
Prices seem to be all over for the screen
And mounts

Have you tried to change the Theme?

Push the fast forward button Button (Steering Wheel) and fast forward button Button on the radio for 3 sec.

Test Tone will play.

Push Testing Setting.

You can select about 20 Theme from that menu.

When you make the changes in forscan and connect the Lincoln screen it boots up to the ST logo like it normally would do, went it turns off it says Navigator.

That’s the one I hate. I guarantee mine will look like it came there….I won’t accept anything less.

I think the only way to make it look like it came like that from factory would be continuing the chrome bezel all around

Yeah I just bit the bullet on this one. Ordered from Tasca. I ordered quite a bit over the years when my business had a bunch of Ford trucks. Under a grand delivered….hopefully

How much was it at Tasca? I am on a little family trip and happened to drive past Tasca in Rhode Island. I had no idea it was here.

I tried these one and all it does is turns the screen black out then it comes back to normal after you turn off an on the ignition switch.

It was like $960 tax and shipping for the six Ford items needed. Nothing in stock though.

I have mine in the ford parts shopping cart
Cable and screen
I assume the screen is complete with bezel surround...
Couldn't find a mount bracket..
Or does it come with screen
Irc sub total is right at 900 and some change. Minus my gazillion pass points
It will be less

My total on ford parts was $1300 and change so I saved about $400. I only had $100 in points. Again this for six parts.

I bought the screen, back screen cover ,8 inch screen vents used from eBay. The bottom cover piece for the screen from Etsy all for around $470. I opted for keeping the original bottom piece bellow the screen ( part #LB5Z7813546AC ) and just cutting a small piece of rubber pad, which saved me around $150 that it would cost from ford parts.
