    Hi NaviUpgrade,
    I've been looking for a way to replace the display from an 8 inch Sync 3 with a larger screen (10-12inch) something similar to the F150 Sync 4 size, I'm not looking for a new infotainment I just want a larger screen that can replace the existing 8" and make a custom frame to fit it in my F150.

    Great information. Thank you. I have a 2020 F150 with Sync 3 and 8" screen. I don't want to assume the digitizers you linked to will work since they say 2011-2018. Will the digitizers from the link you provided work for my application? Thanks

    Would the digitizer for a 2020 f150 be the same as a 2016-18? All the digitizers I’m finding say compatible with 2016-2018. Is the 2020 different?

  • @jeremywheeler5915
    @jeremywheeler5915 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is there some kind of plastic over the digitizer? I notice that I have bubbles and pealing going on my screen lately. So I'm assuming the digitizer must come from the factory with some kind of plastic cover?

    If you replace the whole box instead of taking it apart as you did. Do you need to reprogram it. The glass behind the screen on mine is all broken is that what you replaced. Or did you just replace the outer screen.

      If you're just replacing the whole display that shouldn't need any programming 👍

      If the screen is cracked but the screen turns on, it's just the digitizer. If the screen is jumbled it's the LCD as well

    Recently the battery died on my 2017 F150, and now the touch function of the screen doesn't work. The screen and sync3 function normally, I just don't have touch functionality.
    I've tried resetting it and pulling the fuse but it seems like its a hardware issue.
    Would changing the digitizer solve my touch issue??

      Ooph that's the actual LCD display. Probably best to get a whole new display at that point.

    • @NaviUpgrade
      @NaviUpgrade  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If the whole screen is black you need a new display as the LCD panel probably became broken at the same time. At that point may as well upgrade to Sync 3

    Question.....how do you know its JUST the digitizer? We had our F150 stolen by tweens.....they tried to steal the SYNC & when they realized the couldn't, they repeatedly hit the SYNC screen with those orange plastic air filter changing tools.( they were in our console). Wish I could send a pic on here. The screen is cracked, but radio comes on & we can see it's lit up, just can't see anything. So this is all I should need right?

      Of course, you can just pull it off with the lcd attached. That method obviously is a lot more risky in terms of potentially damaging the lcd display.
