So I decided to upgrade the stereo in my 2013 XLT. I have the 4.2 inch screen. I changed out the door speakers with component speakers, out of the mono amplifier and 8 inch enclosed sub in the rear. Added a new Kenwood DDX492 head unit. I am extremely happy with all of those upgrades. When I am NOT happy about is the fit and finish of the Metra 99 - 5830 B Fit Kit. Coming out of the box it looked cheap. The finish is a flat black. Almost looks chalky. Even simple oil from your skin will discolor it. Here's my question for the forum. Could I take the bezel from an F 150 that has the factory 7 inch screen and install it in my XLT it came to factory with the 4.2 inch scream and just get a fit kit for the aftermarket stereo to fill the void. What I'm asking you if the controls for the heating excetera are the same plug and play? I will hide the 4.2 inch screen in behind the dash and I don't care about using it. And it doesn't even display the correct time and the temperature only works half of the time now. Thanks hope you all have a Merry Christmas

You'll have to fabricate something up. If you're good at working with plastic, it would probably be worth it if you don't want to wait for the ADS kit.

They have. It locates the screen too low

I'm still looking at it as the ADS kit not being a guaranteed thing. My stereo does what I need, at the moment, so I can be patient. But if I weren't, I'd be buying a MFT panel on feebay and building my own adapter kit.
