MFT Screen Blurry

[wcharon]

Hi to all the Community...

My MFT Screen is getting very blurry. have someone already passed thru this before i take out the bezels to be sure it is the screen or the plastic cover?

I also am seeing pixels damage on the right side of the dash screen but not in the left side. Did a reset to the MFT but didn't fix. Attached are pics for reference.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It looks like you may have to replace the MFT screen. I don't think a bad APIM would cause that. I don't know if the screen is part of the entire Dash Control Unit or is a separate part. The Dash Control Unit is Discontinued.

Thanks. I didn't want to hear that. Jajajajajja

What is weird is that the other Cluster is losing pixels. Did you see it?

Good Morning...

Has anybody changed Sync 2 to Sync 3 and how has it performed and quality?

Looking around i see specially from Infotainment and others that they carry a direct OEM replacement Plug &Play. We loose the RCA inputs with that option which i don't use but comes with 2 USB Inputs. The cost is high and i don't like the low warranty timeframe but will like comments before i pull the trigger.

Also found that i can get a Sync 2 replacement screen for $400.00 but i have my thoughts on that.

Appreciate any insights from personal use or experience.

So I found out about the Sync 3 from a friend with a 2017 F-150. I did research and found I could upgrade my 2015 Explorer Sport w/ Sync 2. I've purchased a Sync 3 screen from a 2018 Flex (GB5T-18B955-SC), plus the other parts (usb hub, GPS antenna, ODB2 MS/HS, the correct wiring adapter, pry...
