2011 infotainment swap.

[BlindViper]

My 2011's hazard and cd eject(not used anyway) buttons have stopped working. The Ford dealer said the part(trim) is unavailable and the entire system(screen and trim) needs to be replaced as a assembly to the tune of over 1k. In discussion with a friend I was made aware that there are options available to replace the factory setup. Looking at Crutchfield all of the options retain the factory trim and HVAC controls. I was looking on other sites and you can get a full Tesla like screen. This would fix my hazard button issue.
But has anyone installed one of these systems?
How do the heated/AC seat controls work?

There are several existing threads on upgrades including the Tesla style. Here is one of them;

Anyone installed the large tesla style android head units?

Folks I had upgraded from sync2 to sync3 head unit. But I see there are bunch of 12" or 14" head units based on android. Anyone have any experience with these? Any recommended one...

How often do you really use the Hazard button?
Have you looked into getting a used one either from an auto recycler or sites like eBay or Amazon?

My hazard buttons are not working. I looked for a Hazard relay in the manual and having a hard time locating it. Can some one help 2011 Explorer XLT with 170k miles now.

Thank you Peter. Yes I have checked, but the plastic is very brittle. Most of the used ones are already broke. Its not really a button its like a touch sensitive deal.

There has been multiple times I would have liked to have hazard lights. But they are in the "I'd rather have them and not need them" category.
