I'm about to start my project from a SYNC 2.5.
It's not necessary to break all the plastic to cut the middle bracket. The screen comes apart and you can work with just the metal piece.
Good luck with it.
I bought all the parts separately. I'll have them all by December.
The black plastic that the Chinese sent you is to cover the excess space. It is the only thing that cannot be bought separately.
Can you upload a photo showing the screen and sync code? I think the screen is the 12" one from the Transit.
If you can 3D scan that piece of black plastic, I think I know how to do all that for a lot less money.
I'm going to try to do this with a 12" screen.
I already bought the screen.
I already bought the ACM.
What I don't understand is what happens if I use a FORD F150 APIM. Like this one...
