Adding auto climate to XLT.
I just picked up a 19' Superduty Diesel XLT SYNC 3, with Trailer cam package no heated seats. I want to update the Auto Climate control
I've just read all pages of this forum, and my issue is finding any Bezel's let alone one with the correct top buttons. They all seem to be discontinued.
Any suggestions?
Thx

Any advise on where to keep an eye out for Bezels?

So I'm holding off for now, luckily I found my part number to a auto climate bezel without heated seats or rear defrost.
I can help you find one you're looking for
Go to this site: https://www.oemfordpart.com/
Enter your information, go to I believe "cluster and switches" and then usually there's like 6 bezels to choose from.
You'll have to select Lariat though because XLT models don't have auto climate, but enter everything else the same.
You can see the picture diagrams and select the bezel with the 3 rectangular cutouts at the top!
Then select a bezel with the extra buttons you need and don't need.
That's how I found a Lariat bezel without heated seats (which technically shouldn't even exist) and without rear defrost buttons.

If you have a RCSB XLT and want a Lariat auto climate bezel WITHOUT heated seat or rear defrost buttons, use this part number; GL3Z18842AAB
I used this site: https://www.oemfordpart.com/
You enter all your information, but when selecting TRIM make sure you select Lariat or higher to get auto climate.
Then go through the list of bezels and select one that has the right cut outs at the top and whatever buttons you need.
*Make sure it also says Dual Zone and NOT manual AC* this will give you auto climate.
For example, I selected a dual zone Lariat bezel, without heated seat or rear defrost buttons because I don't have that.
It also only has 2 rectangular cutouts at the top for my switches, instead of 3 like some crew cabs would have. The picture diagram will show you this.
So the description of the bezel I selected reads; 2015-17, with dual zone ac, without heated back window, without heated seats. 2018-20, with dual zone ac, without heated back window, without heated seats.
And if your RCSB has rear defrost, you can select a bezel with rear defrost buttons but without heated seat buttons.
It just makes the dash look better IMO when you don't have a bunch of buttons that don't work!
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the good info ELMN80R
The issue is mine is extremely hard to find used so I'll unfortunately have to order it
I picked up a few for 175. Figured out which I wanted/needed then sold the extra. You want to examine pins of connectors before purchasing as many have badly bent or completely broken pins.
Thanks for all of the information, I had a choice between one $225 and $315 from *bay. I went with the $315 cause the cheaper one listed there was some fading and scratches and was missing a clip.
Next up, getting setup with FORSCAN, adapter is on order.
