Nice, my only concern is the wiring. I don't want to mess with it and prefer to use a harness for simple plug and play. That is the main issue I am running into.

Please document it, if you don't get a harness. I hope it won't be anything to it, but if it requires and wire cutting,etc I won't be doing that.

If I could just get the harness to make it plug in play, I could get the rest probably cheaper. And he knows this, so he won't sell just the harness, and that sucks.
Holy crap! That's insane! $2400! I may wait untill this truck gets a little bit older then maybe I'll upgrade my Nav from Canadian Tire that I bought for under $200 will work just fine for now!

Hey Guys,

Sorry to butt in, but I'm in the same situation as the OP. I have a 2016 F150 XLT SCREW FX4 with the 301A and Sport packages. Not happy with the factory stereo, but I wasn't able to find any trucks with a 5.0L V8 and the 302A package in my area. While there was the option to wait...I'm super impatient. Is it an easy upgrade from the small screen to the big touchscreen with NAV? The harness and bezel is all obvious, but is there anything extra that needs to be added in order to get everything to work properly? I would go with an aftermarket stereo, but I'd also like to retain all factory functions. Thanks in advance.

About all you can do is upgrade speakers and add an amp at this time

Well, that's a bummer. Guess I'll skip this step and go straight into adding some subs. Thanks for the response!
