Just installed the system from fordsync4.com. Cost is $2,200 for the kit.
Right now the Ford Pass does not work. Waiting for the company to help me program the APIM module to the VIN.
They did send a OBD2 USB reader.

I think the Screen and APIM module is from a 2024 Mustang. They did remove all the Part# off the Screen and Module.

It come with two wire for the screen. See picture in post #2.

Will add about 2 to 3" spacer to bring the Screen up. Its blocking the under tray and Start Button.


Pro:
Wireless iPhone Thing or Android auto


Cons:
AC vent knobs will be blocked. See Pictures.
No built in Nav. Cloud Connected Navigation cost $80 a year from Ford.
Ford Pass not working (Need to add my Vin to the APIM module)
Sirius XM not working (module not found) (Forscan Fix?)
Rear Camera not work. (Forscan Fix?)
Radio Button not work.(Forscan Fix?)

Sorry but that’s just too big and out of place. Combine that with the things you listed that aren’t working and it’s a hard pass.

Well I’ll say it’s cool for someone to be the guinea pig on this, I know a lot of people were asking on the FB groups. Interesting to see all the problems, I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be any. Wondering if those will be ironed out, some like the Nav seem to be set in stone. How does CarPlay work and the Apple Nav?

Aren't Carplay and Apple Nav the same thing? I use Android so I'm not sure.

Maybe I missed something
But the vendor that sold that, is he a ford unfiltered? Licensed by ford?
He should have loaded your Vin in the sync module and screen. To ensure ota , ford pass, and All the built in sync 4 things work
I think he is in China or ?
I emailed them a few times trying to get info
He did finally send a few pics, but his translations , gave me pause
I sure hope he works with you to fix it
The apim load may also be out of date, and if it's from a mustang...maybe he didnt re program it correctly
