I just bought my wife a 2017 Expedition which has the base MyFord head unit. I'd like to replace it with a double DIN aftermarket unit however it doesn't look like there are any dash kits or wiring harnesses available. Assuming I am willing to fabricate my own mount and new bezel is there anything stopping me electrically from doing this? Will removing the OEM head unit cause other things to stop working? Is it tied into the CAN bus?

I know I can find a way to power the unit and worst case I can run my own speaker wiring to new speakers and an aftermarket backup camera if I can't find a way to use the existing items.

 

looking to do the same thing on my wifes. but I havent found much yet...

From everything I've read (admittedly, on different Ford vehicles, not Expys in particular) trying to replace the MFT with an aftermarket unit is an exercise in frustration and disappointment. YMMV...
