This video was incrediby helpful and led my wife and I - who are not mechanical - to attempt to repair our own screen - with spectacular results. Thank you so much for walking us through this project. The instructions were flawless!
Thank you, I needed to replace a broken touch screen (2013 explorer) and your directions were perfect. It was especially helpful ordering a small set of plastic tools for interior work. No busted tabs.
Thanks for your step by step instructions. I watched this video as I replaced the sync screen on my 2014 ford explorer and it works perfectly. Part $100, labor was free, I did it myself with your guidance. Thanks again for making this video. 5 stars to you.
thank you so much dude!! i spent months trying to fix this and at least i can play my music from my phone now and use the ac. i may try to see if i can get it programmed though
Echoing what Evil Munky said, I just went through this on our 2011 Explorer and was able to get everything working by using a 30-something dollar ODBII adapter and Forscan with a one year license to program the APIM to match the as-built data. Like you, most things worked without programming, but a few things like the nav and heated seats weren't working on mine as I got the module from a 2014 F150 King Ranch with heated and cooled seats. 10 minutes of programming, though, and it worked perfectly in our Explorer.
Thanks for helping us out. So I'm going to replace audio control module (main receiver) for my 2013 explorer XLT that has gone bad - will get another somewhat compatible model from salvage yard. Where can I find instrcutions to re-program anything I'll need to prolly heated seats, back camera, navigation etc?
Hey buddy thank you so much for share this video it’s really help I just wanna ask you about flashing lights touch button it doesn’t work what should I do I’m really confuse with that do I need to bye a new one and replace it. Thank you
I would think the bezel may need to be replaced , with a good used one. I believe it is a part of the bezel or atleast sold that way. Thanks for watching.
Did you ever get it re-programmed to your vin? If so what software did you use? Forescan? Dealership IDS? Was wondering if you got the other things working on it?
I ordered this one from ebay , they have a lot of them . I basically ordered the cheapest one they had . No more screen going black and I'm happy. Thank you for watching.
I believe it will connect , but the only way to know for certain would be to pull it out and check the connectors. It could be made to work by someone , adding the connectors if not there already. Thanks for watching.
I have a 2015 Ford Explorer. My dash looks exactly the same. My sun roof leaked on my touch screen and now nothing works. I can control somethings with my steering wheel controls but not the heated sheets, the rear AC/heat and no Bluetooth. Where can I find the module you replaced?
Should work the same , also if you can get ahold of a lap top and a ob2 device , people have been able to program these using forscan. I never bothered with mine but was happy to just have the screen working again. Thanks for watching.
Ey I have a 2014 and the screen is turning on and everything but the screen is not working. If I change the module will work? Can you help me to find it on eBay. Thank you.
It almost sounds like the touch screen itself. You should be able to get one from near any ford , I would try and match atleast some of the numbers if possible. Make sure they offer free returns , worse case scenario. Thank you for watching.
I would look on ebay , that is where I found mine. Just try and match some of the numbers.( If that even matters). Like I said I picked the cheapest one just as a trial run out of a taurus and it worked no problem. As others have stated you can program all the functions also with a laptop and a ob2 connector. Thanks for watching.
It is a sync module. The cheapest place is ebay ; you can get a used one. Just plug in your model vehicle and sync module in the search. Thanks for watching.
Installed it today and everything works and my backup camera doesn't glitch anymore and no more crackling in my speakers..... thank you for this video it was super helpful... oh my Escape is a 2014 and the car I found it in was a 2013 . I looked for the one that said "Microsoft" . I noticed there was 2 different versions . I didn't take the screen either .My original screen looked way better . It took me 3 weeks to find it . Well worth it .

If my 2011 doesn't have the touch screen, can I order the touch screen SYNC module and install it with a new face plate?
I believe it will connect , but the only way to know for certain would be to pull it out and check the connectors. It could be made to work by someone , adding the connectors if not there already. Thanks for watching.

Here is a link. It claims to fit 2015 Explorer. Thank you for the feedback.

Will this work for a Ford edge 2011 ?? My screen blacked out for 3 months now
Should work the same , also if you can get ahold of a lap top and a ob2 device , people have been able to program these using forscan. I never bothered with mine but was happy to just have the screen working again. Thanks for watching.

where can i find the module to replace my sync ford afford price
I would look on ebay , that is where I found mine. Just try and match some of the numbers.( If that even matters).

Thanks for watching.
Worked without programming?
It did work but not all the functions. However they can be programmed fairly easy I have been told. Thanks for the question.
You think I need the module if the touch tact is not working
I would say tbe touch screen itself in your case , hope this helps , thanks for the feedback.
What is the part called? And is there a link to it?
It is a sync module. The cheapest place is ebay ; you can get a used one. Just plug in your model vehicle and sync module in the search. Thanks for watching.
