Hi everyone. New to the site and new to ford edge. I also have a 2013 F150 that I did a Sync 2 to Sync 3 update so once we got the Edge it was a no brainer. Unfortunately just like I did on the F150 I got the wrong screen so couldn't reuse the original brackets (didn't realize there was 2 different ones when I did my F150 over a year ago) and couldn't find a recessed screen this time. Instead of cutting up the brackets like I did on the F150 I decided to 3D print a set given that they were basically a 90 degree bend.
This involved some trial and error but in the end I'm pretty happy with them. The only change I would make would be to add some gussets for additional strength. Additionally since the screw caps dig into the face of whatever they screw into the bottom holes crack when removed. This is due to the limited amount of space available due to the bottom mounting screw for the screen. Easy enough to print replacements.
I printed them in PETG clear with 100% infill. Outside of the bottom screw, hole they are quite strong. I've attached some photos showing the brackets and them mounted. Getting all the proper settings for the Sync 3 module proved to be a challenge. Since most of the info online for settings in Forscan is for the F150 they didn't 100% apply in my case. Specifically I got errors with 911 assist and had 3 levels on the heated seats. Finally starting over I was able to get settings that seem to work correctly and not throw errors. The only issue I have now is my GPS signal has trouble locking on so I need to mount the GPS antenna in a different location.
