Fuse adapter (comes with 2): www.ebay.com/i... WPT-982: www.ebay.com/i... Bottom plastic piece (if you have a center console) www.ebay.com/i... Wire APIM to screen: www.ebay.com/i...
When you do the fuse jumpers I had a wiring guy I don't know what else to call him he does entertainment install he said never go higher than the fuse that you pull out of the fues box you want to be equal or less and he explained why because if there is a short with your aftermarket system that fuse would blow before the factory one keeping your factory components safe but this was a pretty sweet
I love that your sharing a really cool hack. If you can take a little constructive criticism though - PLEASE put a towel or cloth or something down when you're working on stuff. When you had your old heater control panel upside down on your console and were monkeying with all the plugs and bolts - it was really ratcheting my OCD as the panels were mashing against each other and sliding all over the place. ;)
Just did this after watching your vid..my initial start up screen is tiny and in upper left corner..and the touch screen dont work..and..also screen shuts off after 5mins
Here’s one, they come and go so I’d have to update the link regularly. www.ebay.com/itm/226268816742?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=X4KR84a7T4y&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Bg4Mbj_VT4i&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Any issues with keeping the 8” APIM? Some people have said they had issues until they swapped to the (12” APIM). Awesome video! Gathering the parts to do the swap!
Thanks for the insights into infotainment, I am working on installing a 12" screen in my 2019 Ford edge, sync 4. I have learnt a lot from you. My greatest worry was on the harness and plugs. You mind giving ideas outside F150 trucks?
Planning to restock the fuse adapters? Planning to do it this way. Thank you for the video brotha! Edit: Saw you had them listed. Appreciate it brotha! Will update you when I have it done. Do you have the part number for the center seat bezel instead of the center console one?
Has anyone done this with purchasing the screen separately and then the bezel. Having a hard time finding the whole unit but see individual screens for sale and wondering if that would work the same?
Hey Shaun, very nice video. I just did the conversion and my screen turns on but it doesn’t work properly at all. Buttons work and then don’t work, it freezes.. not useable. Any insight? I feel like next step is to either reprogram or get the Apim for the 12”.
I have a 2021 stx. Since day 1, the backup camera has sucked, it has 360 cameras. It lags badly and the resolution is terrible. Did you suffer from any of this? And did the 12” screen fix any of it?
Followed these steps and I am having an issue. Sometimes the screen powers on, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the screen is responsive to touch sometimes its not. It will also randomly go black. Any suggestions?
Hey Shaun. I did all as you did on the video, I checked both wires and they have 12v but the screen does not turn on. I am thinking I got a bad screen. Is there any other thing you did other than what you showed on the video?
Either bad screen. Some guys have messaged me and said they had the same issue then installed the 12” APIM and it worked. Seems like 1 out of every 5 people have this issue
Hi Nice and smooth explation I did everything you said but the screen it didn't work 😭😭😭 I thought something wrong with the screen i tryed my friend screen and it won't work as well Please i need your support 🙏, if there anything i miss ?
Hey! Question, is the pin you are having to modify and other parts for installing the Sync 4? I just checked my 21 STX and it has Sync 4 already, would i be able to just plug in that pin without modding it? Would that also apply to any other parts? (First time seriously upgrading so just wanted to double check before i fully committed)
Hi Shaun, just wondering how it’s still working. I made the swap today and the screen will stay on about 5 minutes. Reset doesn’t work but unplugging will for another 5 minutes or so. Also, screen shows the native 12” layout instead of the 8” format. Any ideas on why the screen is shutting off?
Yes he twisted them together then put electrical tape around them as an electrician I suggest you buy these things called “wire nuts” to stick the wires together rather than tape
I did this and it works but every now and then then the screen will go dark then come back on. I had it go black and I had to cut it off and back on to get it to come back on. Have you had this issue?
Hey Shaun I followed everything down to the T! My issue is the screen powered on for a second and now will not power on and I swapped fuses and it did the same thing.powered on to nothing.. Do I need bigger fuses?
Check to make sure you don’t have power and ground swapped. Then hold the power button and track forward button at the same time for 5-10 seconds to reset the system. I know 3 different people have received defective screens recently that did the same exact thing as yours, and on the other end 10+ people have hit me up and told me it worked great
@@ShaunOconnell holding the power button and forward button worked to get it on!! My next issues is the touch screen worked for a hot minute now it doesn't.. Lol
Cheap? Must have fun money. I thought about doing this but here's why i wont: 1) cost 2) time for a diy 3) no advantage for a larger screen as its only more surface area but functionality remains almost unchanged(only thing i can think of is gps perhaps but who uses factory gps anyways). If it was possible to install an aftermarket radio(its a dying art im afraid) on these trucks, that would warrant the change and price.
2022 F150 - Just did the conversion. Worked like a charm. Ty.
Enjoy!
@ShaunOconnell do you have updated part links and where to get the screen at?
@kevinanglin678 I do not but they sell the screen on eBay that’s the best place to find it
Great Video, I would love to do this upgrade on my 23 F150 STX.. Thank you for sharing this..
Do it!

Makes sense I think that’s great feedback
My 22 xl stx 8 inch screen lags pretty bad aswell. Especially with the reverse camera. That’s nice to see there’s no lag on the big one.
Awesome! thank you for all the details.
Just curious, what is the website that sells the whole 12” unit you talked about in Michigan
Just did this after watching your vid..my initial start up screen is tiny and in upper left corner..and the touch screen dont work..and..also screen shuts off after 5mins
Can you update the link for the screen needed? Great video. Thanks

Hey man love the video do you know if I can do this swap in a 2018 raptor?
Any issues with keeping the 8” APIM?
Some people have said they had issues until they swapped to the (12” APIM). Awesome video! Gathering the parts to do the swap!
Now that it's been awhile, how's it holding up? Any issues?
page is missing for the link on the bottom plastic piece
The screen looks way nicer than the stock one. They are way clearer and more user friendly with CarPlay. Side note: clean your garage habibi 😂
God willing habibi
Thank u

My greatest worry was on the harness and plugs. You mind giving ideas outside F150 trucks?
Have you ever thought about installing a push to start system?
Can you document a little more about where to source all the cables?
The green cable from eBay and the other from a Ford parts dealer online.

YESSS
@@ShaunOconnellwhat is the part number if you dont mind sharing? only saw the one for center console in the description
is there any way to install this set up on a 2017 XLT?
You need to do your steering wheel😀
I bought everything new oem. Didn't work! Im a master technician did it exactly as you said. Cant return any of the parts either. Sucks!
😮
Any solution to this? On the same boat currently
You need a 12 inch apin
Good video brother really appreciate the help but by truck unfortunately does not have navigation would that affect any this at all?
No it won’t change anything

Hello what type of headlights you running?
Alpharex nova, I have a video on my channel reviewing them
Great video! Can you share where to buy the screen?
Ebay
Planning to do digital dash? I’d love to change mine
Yeah I’ll be doing it once I source the parts
@@ShaunOconnell perfect! New sub here
Hey man what’s the part number for the bottom piece ?
What about forscan programming after it’s installed?
Not needed unless you want to change the splash screen to full size (I personally don’t care)
Any chance you could post the part # for the lower trim without a centre console.
I don’t have it I’ll have to look for it
@@ShaunOconnellI’m looking for that info too. Can’t find it

Try to reset screen first by holding down forward track and the power button for 10 seconds together
Where can we buy the Radio parts?
Do you know if is the same thing to do on a 2023 f250?
Yes it should work very similarly
Did you have to have the screen programmed at a ford dealership or did the wiring harness take care of that?
Can this work on 17 f250
Where is the link for the parts
What gauge wire did you use?
How did you find the bottom piece of the dash. The link that you done not work. Just trying to find it for my self
Hey search on eBay, if you can’t find it there then your local ford dealer can order one
Hi
Nice and smooth explation
I did everything you said but the screen it didn't work 😭😭😭
I thought something wrong with the screen i tryed my friend screen and it won't work as well
Please i need your support 🙏, if there anything i miss ?
Try to do a reset hold the power and track forward button for 20 seconds
Did you buy the screen and APIM or just the screen? If you got both and your using the black harness that comes with the apim it want work.
Which is the company in Michigan?
I forgot the name

If you are going from 8” to 12” you will have to splice
Where can I purchase the screen?
eBay
Do you know if this will work on the 2018 generation?
Are there any options for my 2020 lariat f150?
No sorry

No that is very strange. What year is your truck?
2023.
@@ShaunOconnellscreen was bad. TLC sent me a new one and it’s working perfect. Thanks for the very informative video.
So you put both grounds together?
Yes he twisted them together then put electrical tape around them as an electrician I suggest you buy these things called “wire nuts” to stick the wires together rather than tape
@jeremiahrios8765 I didn’t use tape I used heat shrink.
I did this and it works but every now and then then the screen will go dark then come back on. I had it go black and I had to cut it off and back on to get it to come back on. Have you had this issue?
The small oem screen does this too randomly
It's because you didn't use a 12inch APIM. The 8inch APIM doesn't work like it should
@stotzmitchell my 8” APIM works just fine
Screen link is broken
Sorry go to eBay and search 2021 f150 12” screen
Do you need forscan for the swap?
No only if you want to change the splash screen size
Does your back up camera work?
Yes and my front and side cameras

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣too much crap just buy a xlt or a lariat 🤦🏻♂️
That costs like $15000 more
Does this work for a 2015 ford f150 xlt?!
No it does not sorry
@@ShaunOconnell thanks for the quick reply! Do you happen to have any idea of one that does work for a 15’ ford xlt
You can swap sync 3 into it from a 2016 so you have apple car play but it will be the same size screen
Does your screen stay on while the truck is is accessory mode?
No it turns off
@@ShaunOconnell yeah same here I’m trying to get to research how to have it on. Thanks for the video tho it was a great guide to do the swap
