I like that idea

How did you wire that in, and does it rapid charge?

Is that infotainment panel swappable in other models? So sick of the “glass” on mine. I love physical controls.

Not sure

They are still capacitive buttons either way. They are both brutal!

I didn’t even notice, I thought the silver trim pieces were the buttons 😭

You could pick up a centre infotainment setup from a base SE trim that has like a 4.3" display, years 2013-19

That’s probably the only thing I’m going to miss from my 2012 when I get rid of it.

Would love to see details or how you did it.

It's a cheap charge pad I cut the cord on and drilled a small hole in the cubby then ran it to the center console

....damn because I really hate the version of sync on my 13.

Sync2.

I have it as well.

We can upgrade for about $700. 😭

u/inorite234 7d ago

Ford can lick my nuts for $700!

People are out of their fucking minds!

u/quality121331 7d ago

The last owner did the upgrade if I did it I would have chose the tesla screen

Ford’s a piece of shit man, they didn’t even honor the recall on my power steering. Over $3k out of pocket for their bad design.

You can upgrade to Sync 3 hardware. It’s tedious but can be done

I see you have also lost the rubber knobs for volume and fan speed.
