Great upgrade

I was able to install this upgrade myself no problem. The screen is an amazing upgrade. I had the 4” screen and the backup camera was useless. Now I can hookup a trailer by myself no problem. I did mess up on FORScan once, but technical support was quick and gave all the right answers. Would totally recommend. Turned my 2016 XLT truck into a new one.

Great product! Customer service was good too!

Kit has everything you need for the upgrade. I watched a YouTube tutorial which showed how to get the dash apart and swap the units out. Once installed, I cranked the car up, connected the car to my WiFi and updated the software from the settings menu in the unit, and that was all it took. …
