Adding touchscreen/Navigation

Can you add and have this installed if it didn't come with? I have a 2015 GT, and was wondering if this is something you can have installed. Also, can the pony projection lights be something that can be added on as well?

Thanks (:

Does that mean it is possible to get one build in?

It's probably possible, but also likely cost prohibitive unless you can find a junked system.

Just to get navigation on a factory MyFord Touch system is pretty evasive, so I have to imagine installing the complete system is likely a little worse (in addition to not having the SD card slot - at least I don't think you do).

Here is an installation of just navigation if you already have MFT.


As a side note, Ford claims both are not possible (Navigation upgrade to MFT and a complete MFT installation upgrade to existing Sync).

I doubt Sync3 will be available to install or upgrade. It is entirely new hardware so likely cost prohibitive and difficult install.

As far as adding touchscreen and navigation to the base, there is a company that makes a module that allows you to retain your Sync functions from the base system with third party head units. I am looking for the link right now. Currently there aren't any headunits available for the base setup yet but I would assume they are in the works. Total guess on my part though.

Edit: I found the link for the module. They don't have one available for the base stereo yet. http://maestro.idatalink.com There is a thread on another site where the user has pictures of the dash removal just to get to the head unit and it is a beast of a job. Very labor intensive and you have to remove a ton of bolts, pieces, etc.

What does the voice navigation add beyond the nav? I just wonder if it's worth having in this age of smart phone navigation.

It adds the Nav and integrates it with Sync. The voice part of it works really well. Personally I prefer using the navigation built in vs using my phone.

If it works as easily as my iPhone, then I could see using it. I plan on getting most of the options anyway so adding the nav seems easy enough. I have experience with too many auto navigation systems that require you to spend too much time entering a location. It's easy to say Siri, route to X and have it just start giving turn by turn commands. If the system on the Stang is that easy, then I could see using it.
