Tell me more about this CANopener moduleFinally got around to a number of electronics projects:
-replaced stock dash speakers
-hardwired Thinkware dash cam
-routed rear camera video cable through PS A-pillar
-hardwired Homelink/ auto-dim rear-view mirror
buuuuut the biggest task was installing the CANopener module so I can finally use some of the Sync media menus in motion that Ford stupidly locks you out of at speeds over 3-5 mph.
That, in turn, required doing this:
Anxiety level 11!! How many broken clips so far? Maybe itβs how I drive, where Iβm driving, the idiots around me while Iβm driving or just my screwy brain but Iβm two hands on the wheel and barely able to look down while piloting my 2 door Sasquatch 2.7. I have to make all my selections and adjustments pre-trip or during a brief traffic light stop so I get why Ford locked that stuff out over 3-5mph.buuuuut the biggest task was installing the CANopener module so I can finally use some of the Sync media menus in motion that Ford stupidly locks you out of at speeds over 3-5 mph.

Iβm in love. These are so sick.Thanks! Iβm really happy with them.
Theyβre Black Rhino Primm beadlocks. 17x8.5, 0 offset. 37β BFG Mud Terrain KM3βs.
Poke is 3β with non-Squatch flares, so Iβll be looking for a new set of Squatch flares pretty quick.

Good pick!
They're used mainly to unlock nav-in-motion on higher end units without Forscan trickery (which would also disable 911 assist, which I didn't want), but on my base Sync 4 unit, unlocks media and setting menus normally locked out above 3-5 mph. I think there's another version that even adds a video input, which could let you add a front camera or something of the sort.Tell me more about this CANopener module
None, actually! Though i did see Ford forgot to install three fastener covers on a piece of dash trim. Guess that's good; makes it harder to tell I did anything.Anxiety level 11!!

Same. One and done.There was one point where my dash looked like that. Canβt say I want to do it again.
Believe me, this was done only after months of studying service info for disassembly and proceeding cautiously. Probably was over-cautious pulling the panel with the passenger SRS, but better safe than sorry.Ohhh...you are GUTSY!
And while you think you understand the logic Ford used, consider this: they'll let you dial in Sirius stations on the go, but not select an artist or album on an MP3 drive. Likewise, they'll bombard you with info in the gauge cluster, but won't let you see oil life unless you're stopped. At best, the logic is inconsistent...
If you're in motion and already playing tracks, that is correct. The "New Search" button needed to switch things up is greyed out.Wait, what? You can't select artist from the USB drive in motion under Sync 4? It was perfectly fine under my last Sync vehicle, a 2012 Fusion.
Which lights are these?
Diode dynamic ss3 with amber back light. It has the smoke protection cap on it.Which lights are these?
Which did you go with? I have a few different sets in my cart on crutchfield. Did you get the pigtails or splice wiring?Finally got around to changing all the 4" speakers to Kicker CS. Extremely easy with the connectors I found on Amazon. Although, I did break one of the clips when taking off the cover on the driver's side but it's ok because the rest hold it down just fine. Sound clarity is night and day, totally worth the $120.
