Admin Console Swap

[N8th3gr8]

Yes Ford has them, just make sure you get the mounting hardware for the brackets, and the 4 screws that let you secure the console to the mounting brackets.

The bottom 1 looks correct. As soon as I get home , I’ll see if I still have the part numbers. What state are you in ?

Hello , I am making this swap right now.
I can figure out cutting the console and fitting the board. But how are you guys even screwing the console down? The 4 bolts from the factory one are not lined up with the admin console. And the screw holes are on the side of the console instead of vertical. Help with pictures would be appreciated

Welcome to the Forum.
Here is what Levittown Ford, a forum vendor shows for the Base model console.

Hi, I can never seem to find someone’s location. Please let me know how to do. I click someone’s profile, but don’t see their location,

If I'm using my phone I turn it so it shows landscape mode. Then it shows if the person has the location showing. With my computer it shows all the time.

I also have the info if you’re looking to do the 12.1 inch screen upgrade. I have the frame for the screen which is the bottom right corner of the picture. I’m my box, there is a long communication cable that would go from the radio receiver in the rear cargo area to the APIM and display screen. Slowly but surely I am putting the pieces of the puzzle together lol.View attachment 453196

I'm looking at doing this too, is there a way to have the 12.1" screen AND sync? Hoping I can get carplay

You will need to get a new APIM with Synce 3 to make this work. There is a harness adapter for the Sync Module that you will also need. I got both APIM and harness from OEMUPGRADES. I didn’t install it yet, since I’ve been busy with work. I still have to order the 12.1 inch screen.

This is the wire harness I have for the Sync 3 upgrade.

@shadow9317 Do you have the part number for the dash/admin console "connection" bit? The piece that has the rear seat climate controls? I found an admin center console, but it is missing the front connector to the dash and the mounts you posted earlier.

Based off the schematics , it looks like the move to the rear cargo area is very doable. I believe the speaker wire feed goes from the amp to the speakers. If the radio receiver gets move to the rear, it will only be a few feet away from the amplifier, so making new connections shouldn’t be so bad.

Do you have the non sync3 version of this for comparison?

I attempted to look up that number and have not had any success.

I believe I have Sync 1 , since I have Bluetooth, hands free and I can see my trucks location on the gps map of Ford Pass. I bought a Sync 3 module and wire harness. I also have an 8” screen, just to test that it works, before I spend any money on the 12.1” screen.I’ll probably start the project next week.
