I'd try an aftermarket unit. Aftermarket will give you bluetooth and CarPlay/Android Auto. You probably don't have steering wheel controls??

See these threads.

no steering wheel controls , I'd like those back also. I thought about aftermarket but I'm afraid of losing the active markers on the backup camera

I'd think you be looking at quite a bit of work and expense to add everything for Sync. Not sure active markers are worth that. I have the markers, they just don't 'move'. I wonder if there is a FORScan setting to enable them???

your camera markers don't move when you turn your steering wheel??

No. My truck is a 2017 and didn't come with a back camera. I was able to add the Ford OEM camera and enable to my Sync. The lines weren't active with it but maybe I missed a FORScan setting. They weren't overly important to me. I recall someone posting a FORScan setting about it. Trouble is me finding it again.....

The 9903 is an older model. Its available here as well as the 9904. I think the only difference is the 9904 doesn't have the HDMI input like the 9903 does.
