13 xlt fit question :) Merry Christmas all!
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
