does your button for screen off still work? does the unit still play music if so while scree is off? thanks for reply in advance
I posted a video earlier in this thread of this and the button works. Music still plays.

for anyone looking- dude I want to have this feature so bad if I get a 2025! now that we know its possible, I have to figure out how that works with the screen. did it plug straight into the screen unit or was there a big wiring harness that it clipped into? I need to figure out if it's a harness, what exactly is being re routed through the harness.
but now I know its possible, probably simple too if I knew which wire the button, ultimately go to on screen connection. hopefully no wiring harness would be needed really, just a intercepted wire into button.
any opinion on how it works? because they took screen off entirely from 2025 units D: dumb

edit
can anyone with a 2025 push in their volume knob to make it go to clock screen? and then push and hold it again to see if screen turns off, and press and hold it again to see if turns back on?
because in theory, maybe people just dont realize thats how you turn it off! "wishful thinking"
maybe a forscan code unlock could enable the 2nd click of screen off.

Mine acts the same way...screen will go to calm screen on first press, then off on second press, but audio (radio or carplay) continue to play in the background no matter display status. I never use the button, so that one was new to me. I would think it has to do with how the button interfaces with the APIM and the Radio unit. The OEM screen would go off with the Radio using that button, but it was also powered from the APIM, not BEFORE the APIM with the SYNC passthrough harness we had to use for this mod. Just my 2 cents
using your knowledge of modules and how that works, do you think, its possible to get the 2025 to work in same way somehow? what do you think would be best way to test/try- or just make a stupid flap.

because what you guys have, with the sync 4 in older maverick and ability to turn screen off, is legit amazing. its a big hit to me, ford is stupid for not wanting to offer off screen anymore. I read about mach e owners and f150 owners all complaining they cant turn it off, and the calm screen/dim screen is still too bright. (mach e screen is massive) so I really feel for them

I didn't think they would when I had my 2015 Prius and they did. It takes a few years to refine the wiring harness and the necessary accesories to make it work. They seem to take their time but they realize the in result is worth it.

Unfortunately, I would think this wouldn't work, at least not cleanly. The screen off button is part of the larger switch unit that uses one special plug to interface with the other modules. You *might* as a real long show be able to get it connected, but programming it work and then cleanly install in the dash I don't have much confidence in. The best thing I can think of as a possible solution would be to isolate the display wiring and put your own inline rocker switch...this still may leave the audio running but could cut power to the display. This could also create a whole slew of other problems as far as how the rest of the modules interact. I wouldn't recommend, but could be a longshot option. Maybe someone else has a better idea?
Do you know more about the process of using FDRS to update Sync 4?
Curious because there is a variant of Sync 4 that’s for the 8inch displays. And a few APIMs on sale for the 8inch version. I assume harness wise it would be a similar approach without the splicing for extra screen power. Would those 8inch APIMs support features like surround sound and what not for B&O on Forscan?

Yea just buy the sync 4 apim that uses the 4pin screen connector and not the six everything else will carry over minus the secondary screen plug
Gonna give it a go since I had some unlucky issues with every 6pin connector variant I bought. Should be here in a week so fingers crossed. It would be nice to fix some of the audio bugs I have in Sync3 and gain wireless CarPlay for those shorter trips at least.
