Just bought this online.

I'm case the link doesn't work, sync 2 APIm, 4 inch screen, USB port and bezel

Plug and play? Or do I need adapters or to rewire anything?

You can try and plug it in, it might just work, I'm not 100% sure but the wiring should be back there behind the console, it might be taped up to the harness, you might also have to buy a jumper to plug into another connector, if you plug it in and it doesn't work then it's going to need programmed, the dealership can do it or if you have forscan or know someone that does

I have Forscan. How to I go about finding the asbuilt values that I need to change? I tried googling but all I found is people talking about upgrading their Sync2 to sync 3.
I'm pretty sure the radio I got is the same as what's in my wife's 2014. Could I use her asbuilt values?

I'd start on post#, get familiar with system, and likely ask in this tread https://www.f150forum.com/f118/forsc...-truck-348987/
