I didn't attempt the wiring and I couldn't find a pigtail anywhere to try, so I sent the Sony FCIM back. Yeah those Sonyies are gold at this point 🤣 🤣 🤣 I ended up getting a 2013 8" non-Sony FCIM on Ebay for about $100, then added the Sync 2 APIM, Then added Navigation, though I had to add a...

Sorry I meant the difference between Aftermarket & Factory-Installed Tow Packages.

Yes the Chart is for Civi Explorers, I wonder what the difference is in the Tow Package that would make that Capacity Increase, Grade 8 Bolts/Washers? Thicker Rounded Bracing? American Steel vs Chinese Steel??

Yes I discovered that at least two Transaxles are available The DA5Z-7000-ARM has the 3.65 Gear ratio. The DA5Z-7000-DRM has the 3.16 Gear Ratio. Both the 3.5L, 3.5L Turbo, 3.7L engines can be equipped with either Transmission. I believe the 3.16 has a higher Towing Capacity, perhaps someone can...

I would like to know too, I have the wiring and the center Stack Buttons with it from a '12 Explorer Sport

Any Exploding Parts, Fires, Melt Downs, PTU Damage? Lol Now I have a full Interior Wiring Harness & Center Stack from a '12 Explorer Sport, which has the Tow/Haul mode & Liftgate wiring to the Center Stack & BCM Plugs, though it seems the Tow Button will not do much. Though I suppose it's not...

Heres a Photo of the Capacitor/Resistor problem if anyone cares. I forgot to mention, if you have Hyper Flash, Disable the 'Front Cornering Bulb Outtage' in the BCM with Forscan. It may be labeled as 'Bulb Outtage Front Cornering' or something like that. I decided to Cut away at the Rubber...

I almost did this myself after reading the article, I thought it was nice & quite clever for the price. One alternative is more expensive, but local, if it's convenient, or if you're in a hurry, I was, [Everything @ Oreillys]. $15 for 3157 Sockets & Incandescent Bulbs. $47 total (Sockets...

If you happen to find it let me know, but tomorrow I think I'll decide on whether to return the Sony FCIM or risk wiring it without a plug.

Working on Labeling the 59pin C237 Connector that connects into the Center Console, think anyone would be interested in seeing it?

The 2012 Explorer is 1hr 30min away, but it's the closest one to me. Seperated the Entire Dash, Seats, Steering Wheel, etc.. but they were five minutes from closing, so I couldn't drag anything but my shoes through the deep mud and water puddles, but hey my Remote Start works.

If anyone is curious about seeing the 4" Screen circuit board, here are some peeks. This one must have less layers in it since it looks like a mess. The Circuits for the Can buses disappear around the connector. I traced where I could and couldn't find anywhere they could've ended up. Perhaps...

Alright an update, Got my Remote Start to work, added Hood Switch & Enabled Remote Entry/Start options, bought x2 Fobs for $35, 50ft of distance, not terrible. As for the Sony FCIM I could only determine 2 wires on the circuits, 2 are Can bus, but I can't tell polarity, the other 2 wires may be...

That would be great, I just realized in the sony FCIM photo, white sticker above plugin, the date is 5/18/15.. & GB5T-18A802-HE/GB5T-14D017-CD if that makes a difference...

I do have the 2016 Climate Module, once I get the pinout for the Sony FCIM and maybe work the Forscan bits, I can confirm whether I have a disaster on my hands or not. I'll definitely be posting the update here.

Would you happen to know the Pinout of that 3x3 connector? I'll put in temporary pins to confirm functionality if I can. The FCIM I ordered has the 3x3, can't believe I forgot about that lol. Looks like I'll be on the hunt for that 3x3 pigtail, I have everything else ready to throw in from that...

Pretty tempted to go back to that explorer now and just take the rest of the harness out, Amp & woofer, ACM. The really big connector going on the side of the 2012 Explorer console is not in my '15 PIU, unless I missed it. so I then realized I'll be doing a big wiring project if not, though...

Funny you mentioned that, I went to another Salvage yard, and actually found an Explorer (2012), so I got one with the inverter plug-in and rear HVAC controls, gonna clean the entire center console and get it installed once I figure the wiring out. Took the inverter that was jacked up behind the...

I love having the controls on the front. Though when I get an 8" FCIM and it works out, and someone wants this FCIM, I'll send it to you, first come first serve. It'll probably be a few months though.

I've noticed this little fan near the key cylinder with a resister, I believe this has to do with the auto climate control, every vehicle (fords) in the salvage yards has the vent and almost all of them has this fan thing.. Though I'm a bit to lazy to confirm whether I have it, can't see it from...

I purchased the Elite explorer for 2 years, can upload photos now from my pc/phone. Here's a photo of the Rear Blower, there's only one

So I wonder if the Dual Climate Control option from the 8" FCIMs would work the same with my setup, since my FCIM has the Specific Rear Climate Control Buttons, I'll post a photo of it once I get on my laptop and try it, I like this forum and feedback from you guys so I may just get that $20...

Yes I have a 2015 PIU 3.7L. My FCIM controls the rear Blower and Heat. The rear Blower is in the back drivers side pillar, it blows onto the foam and under the rear seat. Doesn't seem like a good place for it to blow hot air, but it still gets the rear pretty hot. Haven't melted anything yet lol.

Lets say after I purchase the Sync 2/3 wiring Harness, Do the Sony and Non-Sony have the same plug in? Here's the link for the Harness that's compatible for 2011-2019 Explorers. This one has a 4 pin USB plugin also, I do have the Dual USB Port (lights up too) with that style, though I don't see...

When you ask whether I have Sync or not, my answer is 'technically'. Phone, Sync & Aux (Line In) were not working (But are there taking up valuable real estate), you press the button and the screen exits out immediately or doesn't change the screen at all!!. Forscan said there was an Internal...
