BUILD THE RIGHT KIT

Configure in the same order you make the decision

Start with your vehicle and current screen. Then compare packages, match the dash trim, and review every selection before adding to cart.

  1. 1Model & year
  2. 2Factory system
  3. 3Package
  4. 4Dash & optional VIN

Selected factory system: confirm the option above using the guide.

CURRENT FACTORY SYSTEM GUIDE

Match the screen currently in your vehicle

Choose by the original systemโ€”not the upgraded 12-inch screen. For F-150, 2015 uses No SYNC/SYNC1/SYNC2, while 2016โ€“2020 uses No SYNC/SYNC1/SYNC3. Super Duty products show No SYNC, SYNC1, and SYNC3; Expedition shows SYNC1 and SYNC3 only.

Why Entry โ€” Lincoln UI is unavailable: this factory system does not have a reusable SYNC3 APIM. Entry requires an existing factory SYNC3 APIM, so choose Ford Timeless Theme-Blue UI ยท Plug & Play or Ford Timeless Theme-Blue UI + SYNC4 Ready; both include the required programmed SYNC3 APIM. The required module and conversion hardware add $200.

Not sure which package fits you? Choose for me

Check every statement that matters. We will recommend the lowest package that satisfies all selected needs.

STEP 1 ยท VEHICLE

Select your model and year

One selection confirms you are on the correct product page and controls which original Ford systems and dash parts fit.

This product page fits Ford F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 Super Duty only.

FINAL FITMENT CHECK

Confirm the dash; VIN is optional

The dash selection is required for the correct hardware. Add the VIN if you want an extra model-and-year check.

Optional: enter all 17 characters if you want Decode VIN to check the model and year. VINs never contain I, O, or Q; dash color, console, and factory system still require visual confirmation. VIN decoding sends the VIN to the U.S. NHTSA vPIC service.
Recommended if you are unsure: upload one clear powered-on photo showing the current screen, vents, HVAC panel, trim color, and center-console area.

DASH PHOTO GUIDE

Choose color and console layout

Compare the six photos with your truck. Front jump-seat trucks need a different lower trim piece and add $250; color names alone are not enough.

Selected dash: confirm the option above using the guide.

DASH CONFIGURATION GUIDE

Choose color and console layout

Front jump-seat trucks use a different lower trim piece and add $250. Chrome Grey is commonly found on Platinum, Lariat, and Limited interiors, but always confirm against the photo rather than trim name alone.

ORDER WITH CONFIDENCE

Frequently asked questions

Is this a SYNC3 12-inch upgrade?

Yes. It keeps the Ford SYNC experience while upgrading the display to the genuine Sharp 12-inch panel. Choose a Ford Timeless Theme-Blue UI package when a programmed SYNC3 APIM is required.

What does Plug & Play mean?

The selected kit arrives with the model-specific hardware, connections, and package programming. No wire cutting is required, although dashboard components still need to be removed and replaced during installation.

What does SYNC4 Ready mean?

SYNC4 Ready does not include a SYNC4 APIM. It uses a programmed SYNC3 APIM now. To upgrade later, replace that module with a compatible SYNC4 APIM and remove the ICE head unit; the installed 12-inch screen hardware stays in place. An ICE-supplied SYNC4 APIM is VIN-programmed. A module sourced elsewhere needs vehicle-specific programming, and older SYNC4 software may cause compatibility issues.

Why can Entry โ€” Lincoln UI be unavailable?

Entry retains an existing compatible SYNC3 APIM. If the vehicle starts with No SYNC, SYNC1, or SYNC2, it has no reusable SYNC3 APIM, so a Ford Timeless Theme-Blue UI package with the required programmed SYNC3 module must be selected.

Can VIN decoding choose every option?

No. VIN data can identify the model and year, but it does not reliably identify the factory screen, dash color, or console layout. Confirm those selections visually with the photo guides.

How do I choose the color and console layout?

Use the dash photo guide to match Black, Silver, or Chrome Grey and Full Center Console or Front Jump Seat. Chrome Grey is common on Platinum, Lariat, and Limited interiors, but the photo is the reliable check.

Why does Front Jump Seat add $250?

Front jump-seat trucks require a different lower trim piece and configuration from trucks with a full center console.

Is the powered-on dash photo required?

No. It is optional, but recommended if you are unsure about the original screen, dash color, or console layout.

What if the kit is damaged in transit?

Send clear evidence of the shipping damage. After InCarElectronic confirms transit damage, we will ship a new replacement kit. Damage caused during installation is not covered by this promise.
