Retrofit 2025 Bronco's digital dash and rear AC vents?

[jeepit]

As you can see from screen shot the new 2025 parts are all marked as "Usage: 01/20/2025".
All but one, the evaporator assembly.

By pugging in 2025 VIN into https://parts.ford.com i can see revised parts for MY2025
- the AC duct for center console
- Center Console assembly
- Transmission shifter cover

But, any version of Evaporator Assembly does not say that it was updated for 2025 even though they clearly cutout a hole to let the air flow/updated the air outlet for the center console vent.

What could be the reason? and reason for parts being unavailable?
Definitely, to keep MY2025 inventory moving.

By looking at the picture of '24 BRONCO AC HVAC BLOWER HOUSING BOX on ebay.
which is per ford parts
19B555 - Evaporator Assembly
Evaporator And Housing Assembly Part#: MB3Z19B555BA

If a new damper for MY2025 is not in play, looks like the center console vent part might be detachable & swappable with 2025 one or might just need to cut out in three places.

To be able to check, need to take the whole dash apart since it sits behind the radio.

Yes I think we need a very brave soul to take the dash apart and provide an answer. Anybody own a shop or have a good friend who does who can do this?
Or anybody here have a contact at Ford who can maybe provide some answers on the evaporator?

Unfortunately the parts catalog is not updated with the newest number...........You need an internal link to HVBOM to get proper numbers.........

No just rearranged it. I almost want it irregardless of the rear ducts because I like the layout better

The 2025 & 2026 don't come with wireless chargers, but there is a rectangular cutout under the spot where the phone holder is.

I assume you can pop in a wireless charger from previous models into it, but I havent tried.

I'm working on creating a 3D printed charger mount for this location so I can use a better wireless charger with it.
