Well as far am I concerned the only "bezel" offered at the moment is the Schosce product. If I'm honest it looks kind of cheap...maybe I'm the only one. I am constantly keeping an eye out for a wrecked 15'+ lariat or above. I upgraded the stock 6x9's in the front doors (I have a regular cab) WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Stock speakers really do suck!

I was in the same boat... 16 reg cab... did get the schosce kit because it's all there is.
1st did the dash kit and a kenwood nav unit--- it even made the stock cheap speakers sound better.
this weekend dropped in a sub and nice components and an amp... The sound is amazing and I'm picky! In my 14 had an audison bitten loc and hated it, needed a remote to control sound, just a pain... thats why I passed on nav and sony for the 16
the dash kit takes getting used to, yes the climate screen looks like a pac man game from the 80s, but its usable... the sound makes up for anything the dash kit lacks!

Thanks for the info. Wasn't sure what to think about it at first...On the Youtube video Schosce posted; the operation appeared seamless but looked a little dated we'll say... However it does give you total flexibility to replace that hideous and uncontrollable stock unit that Ford puts in the truck

Would it work with a 2016 unit from an Explorer XLT? I can buy one for $240 with the apim w/nav. Where did you get the bezel? I've been looking everywhere!???
