Here is the start of what my next modification is. This is just the start. I am only about about $60 so far on the Nav Bezel. The Scosche kit was already broken. I bought it off Ebay for the controls which replaced a broken unit and is installed in the car right now. So basically right now this is all just extra and If I can make it work it will be the perfect dash kit. I already fabbed up a bracket to mount the screen up higher and it fits perfect in the space in the NAV Bezel.

I live in the high desert. So now that its getting hot outside, the inside of your car is an oven. The IPad doesn't like it. I have a black car with black interior too. I got the "IPad needs to cool down before you can use it" warning. I guess I'm going to have to keep with me during the day when I'm in the office and the car is cooking out in the sun.

You mentioned that the climate controls are integrated into the stereo controls and can't be seperated. One thing I have noticed looking at ebay listings is that the Ford F150 climate controls look very similar to the ones in the Mustang and they are seperate from the stereo controls. They appear to be in the same layout with the buttons in the same locations. So maybe it would fit in the Mustangs stereo bezel with little or no modifications.
Now I know that the connections on the back are different but I have also noticed that the connection on the F150 climate controls looks like the connection on the Mustang Climate Control Module. This makes me wonder if that connection were plugged directly into the F150 controls, would it work? I don't know but if I could find a set of F150 controls for less then maybe $50, I think I would be tempted to try it.
If it worked, we could have factory controls on the bottom of the panel and then be able to cut out what we needed to above it to fit any size head unit we wanted to. Of course, people who are talented with tools and materials can build their own.
