So they did repurpose those old fiesta radios? Good eye on you! I didnt even notice the label being covered like that. This explains why the performance of these radios is so bad. Ford used these things in 2015.
I honestly dont think it has anything to do with them thinking that its a technology on the way out. They didnt even include HD radio which should be standard at this point. It was either a supply chain constraint or just a total cost savings measure.
I took the head unit out from behind the HVAC controls and you’d be surprised at how light it is. Shockingly light and not much inside of it. So I’d say the thing is super cheap at best. I was toying with adding sync 3 but I’m almost at the point of getting a replacement 3rd party unit when...

OEM will be plug and play with a little adjustment with ForScan. Aftermarktet will need wires spliced and a jenky adapter to get steering wheel controls working. Also any aftermarket I saw that provides a screen the same size is roughly $1k. I paid $600 for the components I needed to make the...
