  1. Might be possible to upgrade 8" infotainment screen to 12"

    Noice! Love the red accents too! Looks like the "Rapid Red" of my wifey's Tremor! So; not so hard to do, is it? Lots of M7 head trim screws and torx 40 for the handles. I actually found the problem (no solution yet) to my navigation going crazy (since mine was a base, no nav, no nothing but...
  2. Might be possible to upgrade 8" infotainment screen to 12"

    Yeah... I'd ask about the NAV now and if they sell the splitter listed in what I posted. It sucks pulling that whole dash apart over and over. Not hard, just making the time to do it. At least the tools are simple: Torx 30 for the handles, 10mm socket for the airbag, and 7mm socket for all the...
  3. Might be possible to upgrade 8" infotainment screen to 12"

    Hmmm... maybe that's why they don't show the Sirius/GPS antenna splitter in the pics... again, because they didn't do it for a base base. But, knowing NAV was available on the 8" helps me to use more VINs at dealerships to compare different variations of the programmed files. I really hope...
  4. Might be possible to upgrade 8" infotainment screen to 12"

    You have a Badlands; did yours come with any connected services? Nav? I'd love to know how hardcore their testing was between models, specifically will the nav or Android Auto jump all over the place randomly. If you need help to program any of it, hit me up
  5. Might be possible to upgrade 8" infotainment screen to 12"

    I watched the ending of the video as they do a great job covering the R&I of the dash; What I didn't see covered was a base model Bronco like mine, that won't have come with any connected options except Fordpass start and lock/unlock only; not sure if the Big Bend came with Nav or not with the...
  6. Might be possible to upgrade 8" infotainment screen to 12"

    Okay, so I'm done with the hardware, but realized my work computer doesn't have an ethernet port, which I need to show HOW to program the module... and since I'm not home I have to reassemble to get Shadowmere to a laptop with that ethernet port. A lot of the connectors and adapters, you'll use...
  7. Might be possible to upgrade 8" infotainment screen to 12"

    I should have MY writeup done end of today, but here are some pics... Grand Duchess Fiona would 't leave me alone so there is my intern. Keep in mind that from scratch I have added NAV so my info may vary if all you want is the screen. It's actually not a big stretch to add it. I'm STILL...
  8. Replacing 8" with 12" Screen?

    I wish I had more time for it, but I hurt my back months ago and I'm still in a ton of pain every day. My Excursion has several, but more importantly high-hour repairs too; Step 1: remove cab doesn't apply as well to them lol. Back to the experiment itself, I'm almost certain it can be done...
  9. Replacing 8" with 12" Screen?

    Define, "working on this;" tossing the 8" module back in, fixing SiriusXM, or the writeup? Lol I did fix my SiriusXM, Nav comes down to OEM maps which can be correct but unless you have "connected nav" you can't use it for picking a location and going there (OEM maps will also end up...
  10. Replacing 8" with 12" Screen?

    Well, I got that far, then called into work, so basically I got hosed out of my 48hrs of FDRS; that's okay- he can pay for my next subscription after turkey day. For what it's worth, I have not once accomplished a programming via USB FLASH drive- only ever via CAN (OBD-2 port, slower than my...
  11. Might be possible to upgrade 8" infotainment screen to 12"

    I'm just gonna throw this out there to anyone who uses FDRS/FJRS fairly regularly: Has anyone had an APIM that recognizes the flash drive, but shows no signs of it updating/installing? Flash drive named "Sync" and it shows it registers, indexes, indexing complete and none of the "please...
  12. Might be possible to upgrade 8" infotainment screen to 12"

    You can also add/remove many functions via Forscan as well, like disabling factory NAV. If you want, I could give you my VIN (which should be plastered in most Ford service pics) which is super-base 8" programming... While Android Auto isn't perfect, and a lot of that might be the garbage...
  13. Replacing 8" with 12" Screen?

    Update: Since SiriusXM quit working, and the Sync unit showing nada for Sirius except allowing me to select it as an audio source and never loads, and even trying to audibly tune to channel 0 or 1, I decided to take a much closer look at the programming on my unit that Brian may or may not have...
  14. Diesel engine swap options?

    In their defense, those issues have plagued every Ford diesel since the 6.0L/VT365 and 6.4L/Maxxforce 7, which means their flaws have been inherited down from the Navistar engines, with the exception of the crank (and, no DPFs on the 6.0's I've ever worked on, so that's a 6.4L deal only). I only...
  15. Diesel engine swap options?

    For the driveline side of things, this'll sound goofy but I know it functionally exists and operates in this dimension: at the big car show, "Back to the 50's," I ran into a guy who used a transfer case/2-speed transmission (been a few years since I've spoken with him regarding his setup) post...
