LJA414 Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hello all, I just got a brand new 2018 Ford Edge SE. I love it, however the head unit sucks! I like the head unit in the Platinum and the Sport. Does anyone know if I can get that head unit installed into my SE? If so, how much does that cost? Thanks!

Okie Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 If this is the 4" Sync screen version you can do the switch but you will need a minimum of the following Dash panel with AC controls ($100 - $200) Harness to adapt the 4" Sync harness to the 8" harness (there are different versions of this depending if your original AC controls are manual or auto) ($250 - $350) Adapter for the backup camera input to new harness (with above most likely or a $25 - $50 addon) Sync 3 APIM and Screen ($300 - $700 depending on Nav or non nav - keep in mind this is used parts too not new) USB cable from the APIM to your console ($35 - $75) you may be able to use a male to male mini usb cable but it wouldn't be locked into place (also I haven't tested this myself.) USB Hub for Sync 3 ($50) GPS antenna ($10 - $20) You will also need to program the APIM for your vehicle as well. The software (Forscan) is free but you will need a OBD2 bluetooth or usb adapter ($10 - $50). I've seen some people build the harness themselves on the F150 forums. There are companies that sell PnP kits as well. Prices I quoted are just for things I saw from different vendors when researching my recent options when buying my son a car. Because of all this I decided to get one that already had a Sync 2 touchscreen which doesn't require a harness kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
