Hello. First, I need to say that I am a Fusion driver visiting the board. Even though I own a Fusion, I really do like the Edge and think it is a great car :D What I have is an audio question and figured I would try posting it here because it seems like there is more of a discussion here in previous posts about my topic than there is at the Fusion board. I was actually reading a previous post about replacing a normal stereo with the oem navigation unit http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=1181 . However, I still have some questions about doing this and I am hoping you guys can help a fellow Ford owner out
I am thinking about replacing my 6 speaker premium stereo with the navigation unit. My car is an 08 with Sync. First, should I try to only get an 08 navigation unit or will an 07 work too? Second, does it matter if it from an Edge, Explorer, Expedition, etc? Third, do I really need to get the unit reprogrammed to my car specifically or will it really work "plug and play"? It seems like from past posts some people have been able to just install it and go and not worry about reprogramming. But, if it necessary for me to reprogram the unit, how do I do it? Also, do I need to do anything special to keep my Sync working properly?
Any help is really appreciated! Thank you!
