Can you make a double din compatible faceplate for the 2015? I have the crappy 300A screen and I want to replace it with an aftermarket double din nav head unit. If possible please PM me a ballpark quote. Thanks!
Darren, thank you for the response. I'm looking for a dash kit I can use with a double din nav head unit, not an iPad. Have you developed anything like that yet?

Unfortunately no, there is a complete circuit board in the face of the radio that controls the AC and unless somebody completely redesigns the circuit board, you can not remove it as it extends through the whole front piece where the radio would sit. If it is ever developed, it'll be probably a $400-$500 dash kit. You'd also need a digital module to plug into the factory harness to create an accessory wire and retain all the CAN BUS functionality and steering wheel controls which would run anywhere from $125-200.
FYI I got an Ipad Mini 3 and put it in my 2007 F150 XLT myself. I even kept the factory radio in the truck, put the Ipad in its place, and am able to take the Ipad out with only a little hassle. Also, since my factory radio is still in the truck, and since I only made minor modifications, I can put the stock radio back in just like normal if I sell the truck.
Let me know if you want me to share how I did this (don't want to spell it out if no one is interested!). It didn't take too long and it was less than $40 or so (not counting the Ipad).
