I doubt Ford offers 12" screen on the bottom-level trims like Black Diamond and Big Bend.

$695 is the connected nav piece has nothing to to do with screen size and that is available on lower trims maybe not base I never spent time on that one.

Nope!
They are saying those radio features are available in a 12"
screen , not that the 12" screen is available in that trim . The BB and BD get the 8" screen .

8" screen.
What you are paying for is the enhanced features/navigation package.
BD will not have a 12" screen.

I'm glad I'm not the only one confused. The $695 option is the only optional equipment that I can add for the audio system. It says "Available" with 12" LCD touch screen, but there's no other optional add on to select to get that.
If the $700 is just for connected "built in" navigation, then it's totally worthless option.
The only difference I see is the wording for "built in" navigation.

+1 to the confused, the would like the 12" but not for the price of an OBX or BL and $700 for connected nav is pointlessI'm glad I'm not the only one confused.

for a 5-year membership gaia gps is $160, not to mention waze (free)
I suspect that the $695 built in navigation will give you the maps “built in” so that if you ever decide to stop paying the subscription, you will still have a working navigation. If you are only getting the “connected navigation” I would guess you will lose all navigation abilities as soon as you stop paying the subscription.I'm glad I'm not the only one confused.

the “available with 12” screen” just means you can also get the built in navigation on the 12” screen too. It does not mean that the 12” screen is available on lower trims.
fyi, $795 has historically been how much Ford has charged for navigation before they started doing the subscription.

It's pretty straight forward, the only way to get a 12" screen is in the High or Lux package, period. That means only OB, BL, WT, or FE trims can have a 12" screen.
It's quite clear in the details of that option that the option does not include the 12" screen, it's $700 for the built-in nav that is available on the 8" or 12" screen.

To upgrade later, It looks as if the entire dash around the head unit is one piece, so it would probably involve some cutting of the dash around the bezel. Possible, but any upgrade will probably be around $1K or more.

Without the 'Built in Nav' you will lose all navigation if you get tired of paying Ford, add to that even if you are paying and you have no cell reception (read 'out in the boonies') you lose all navigation. With built in NAV you still have nav anywhere without paying, although you lose the trail maps without the subscription. At $700 for 36 months subscription that's $19.44 a month, for built in maps, and the other connected goodies, after which you still have the map navigation if you don't want to pay monthly. You can still purchase map updates as needed. As I spend a lot of time out of AT&T service areas I am leaning toward getting the 'built in' option.

Me? I perfer to run it from the screen than my phone. Mostly because I rarely connect my phone's bluetooth. And I don't want to have to worry about bluetoothing my phone to use it; when I can just hit the nav button through sync. So much easier
I prefer the built in maps too. Usually because any of the map apps (google, Waze, etc) drain my phone battery pretty fast, and I’ve been known to forget my charger. This is one reason why I wish the wireless charging was available as a stand alone option. All the trims come with wireless Apple CarPlay and android auto, but if I don’t have a wireless charger, what’s the point if I’m going to have to plug in my phone anyways?
