I just completed my change out in my 2016 XLT. I purchased a MFT system from a 2015 Lariat but didn't use the screen or APIM. I purchased a Sync 3 w/Nav from TexasFording. I did use the FCIM (bezel) and ACM from the 2015. As they were already matched and programmed from the 2015 it only required a small amount of tweaking with Forscan.

In the end, everything worked with the exception of the "dual zone" function and of course the heated and cooled seats. My basic 2016 didn't have any of this so I was never expecting that to work.

I paid $250 for the 2015 Lariat MFT setup from a recycler. I sold the screen and MFT APIM for $200. I paid around a grand for the Sync 3 w/Nav (Screen and APIM). I would guess around $100 for misc. supplies to build the harness, download the wiring schematics from Ford plus purchase a backup camera. I didn't use the Ford camera as the wiring was too complicated and expensive. I bought a cheap $18 dollar camera on EBay which works great.

I still have the 2015 ACM and the original My Ford 4" screen and APIM and bezel. I built the harness so I could easily change the system back to the as-built specs should I have a need to do so. (Never know) So I would expect to spend around $1100 to $1200 by the time your finished. I actually changed it back just to try it. No reprogramming was necessary and it worked just as it always did.

My only blunder initially was that I forgot to hook up the two wires for the Sirius Travel Link which I accidentally taped into the harness. Once I did that, everything worked as well as expected. I am totally pleased with the mod.

Is there an *' bezel that matches the texture and finish of the 4.2" bezel in the XLTs. I am extremely OCD and would like to have a bezel that matches the rest of the truck. Or do all 8" bezels have the titanium, brushed, or woodgrain finish?

I think they all have a smooth finish.

The "finish" on the Bezel is the same shape and size on the 4.2" and 8". If you remove it very carefully using heat, patience and attention to details, you should be able to stick it back on the 8" bezel.
