Question: On the 2010 is the harness different ? I did find a 2011 that had all the parts, but the Harness was gone. I ask him was the front control bezel included and he said yes. 850$, not so bad I guess ?

So I am going to try to see if I can find some more things to make this happen.

 

$850 is good if you get as much from the list as you can. You will need the dual climate zone module that goes in behind the nav screen, so make sure that is included. Is the amp included, or are you going aftermarket?

The harness for your car you will need to buy, though, as it is different. You also need the climate system harness, so get that from the car your nav is getting pulled from. Full list of parts is in the front of the thread. Try to get them to throw in as much of this as you can for that price.

 

Hello everyone. Let me start off my saying THANK YOU for doing all the leg work on this mod for the rest of us. I do have a few questions for you guys that have done it already:
Is the Mustang the only car you can pull this mod from? I have seen a few others threads from people pulling OEM nav units from F150s, Mercurys, ect.
Does anyone have a picture or part number for the main dash harness for a '11 w/o heated seats? I cant seem to find it on any parts sites I look at.
Now the amp situation. I planned on going aftermarket as I know NOTHING about audio. Do I just go to say Best Buy and tell them I need a new amp? Can I get it installed before the nav conversion or should I do it after install?
Also if anyone finds any nav/bezel units for sale please link me! fleebay has been dry.

Thanks,
Matthew

 

Welcome to the boards, Matthew.
For the 05 to 09 Mustangs, the nav could be pulled from other Fords, but I am not certain which Fords share the nav woth the 10 to 14 Mustangs, if any at all.

You will need to get the parts guys at the dealer to look that one up for you. Just give them a call and they'll get you the right part number.

You will install after the nav is in, I would think. Zeroaviation went aftermarket, so he can tell you what he decided on and why. I and others stuck with the OEM amp.

Try here. This is where most of us found our navs:

Thanks for all the info, I want to do this on my 2013 as soon as I have the funds.

 

Thanks Jim. I picked up a Galaxy 7.0 Plus to use in place of the OEM navi while I put the parts together for the conversion.

Let me clear something up for me, can a factory nave be installed with out removing the entire dash ?

 

Its doable, but hard to get your hand around all the crevices. I took mine out. Super easy.

 

I did it without removing the entire dash. it's a little bit difficult at times, but not too bad. Just expect your hands to be scratched and bruised after. That is if you decide to leave in the dash.

 

I did not have to do any reprogramming when I plugged it all in. My nav has the vin from the car it was taken out of, but no issues otherwise. The others also have not had issues that I know of.

If you got a nav that doesn't have rear video camera or heated seats, then those will not show up, even if your car does have them. In the case of heated seats, though, the buttons on the face plate would probably work, while you will not be able to turn them on through the nav screen, I figure.

 

I picked up a rear camera spoiler with the camera. I have just finished doing the wiring for the back up camera. Tested it and works good - picture on the nav works.

The spoiler is being painted this weekend. The regular spoiler can't be used. Removing the 2 sided tape was a real PITA.

This is not plug and play, though. I had to do the wiring and insert pins into the connectors. Happy with the result, though. I now have now made my car into a fully loaded Premium.

 

Congrats .. now that I added the rear sensors mine is fully loaded too ... except for Auto transmission.

 

I'm Jealous! Where did you get yours? Junkers?

 

I got it from car-parts.com.

$180 shipped plus another $150 for painting (an aquaintance is giving me a break).

 

hi guys,

I'm interested in doing this mod to my car. I have a 2013 base model 5.0 without sync. what else besides what is listed here would I need to add sync as well as navi.

thanks.

 

You would need to get the sync module as well for the nav to work properly.

Beyond that, everything on the list should be good.

The trick will be finding a nav, as they seem to be hard to come by and expensive.

 

its going to be even more difficult for me because I'm in Germany, I do have contacts at a few ford parts counters because of my job, I'm hoping to hear back from them soon.

so I don't need any other wiring harnesses for the sync? I know I will need the steering wheel controls and if I'm adding the sync I should probably go ahead and install the usb port in center console as well. I'm also going to do some research about doing the dual zone climate control as well since I'm going to have the dash out anyway. I'll let everyone know what I find out as soon as my contacts get back to me.

 

I'm on vacation right now, but when I get back next week, I can help more.

 

Yeah I feel your pain. I'm in the UK and will be for the next few years so getting the parts will be hard.

 

Sorry for the wait.

In terms of other wiring harnesses, since I already had Sync, I didn't need to get any other harnesses. You will need to check with the dealer as to which harness you need. You will tell them the build date of your car and have them tell you what the part number is for a dash harness with nav (auto/man etc..). That harness should plug into the sync module that clips into place in the space above the glove box. You will also need the climate system harness, and there is also a radio cable.

You will need the wiring harness in the steering wheel itself as well.

What I am not sure of is if the body harness remains the same. I have misplaced my wiring manual and can't check this for you.

Call a dealer and see if the body harness for your car and that of a nav car are the same (make sure that both have same tranny). If they are, you are good.

I have a Sync module if you want to purchase mine. PM me if you want it.
