ddixon91 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) I just bought a 2012 Edge and am wanting to upgrade from a 4in to 8in. Is this an easy swap and what all do I need? Can I use one from an MKX and where is the best and cheapest place to get one. If I just changed the bezel to the 8in one and put in the 8in touch screen would it plug into my existing unit or do I need to replace the radio unit also?

1004ron Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I did that with my wife's 2015 Mustang and expect it can be done with the Edge. When I get home I'll post the contact details of the person I bought the kit from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) I sent you a PM with the contact details of the person that supplied the kit for our Mustang - he confirmed that he can supply what's need for the 2012 Edge. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/sync-3-swap-its-all-in-here.82973/page-142#post-3281455 https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/sync-3-swap-its-all-in-here.82973/page-141#post-3276678 Edited July 23, 2021 by 1004ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC if its an S/ SE then you will not be able to upgrade. I forget the reason off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 This is a more expensive option ($2,300), but takes you from 4", MyFord Sync to 8", Sync 3 with navigation and show what pins to switch to get HVAC controls to function. (Includes bezel). Includes everything including cables, Sirus Radio, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Programned and plug-n-play. https://www.infotainment.com/products/2011-2018-ford-edge-4-to-8-sync-3-touchscreen-upgrade?variant=12301078790180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
