Overhead Consol

Hello all! I looked around in this forum for my answer before I posted my question was not able to find what I was looking for so here it goes.

I have a 05 F-250 SD SLT, My truck didn't come with the overhead consol with the MPG, and the other function. I haven't looked yet, am I able to find one from ebay, and install it. Is the wiring harness already up there form the factory? Or is it more complicated than that?

Thank you,
Sean

Starting with the 05 MY SD the MPG & other info was removed from the overhead console and placed in the information center in the instrument cluster. There are no wires behind the headliner from the factory on 05 & later MY SD. This would not be an easy retrofit, if it is even possible, since the information is provided by the PCM to the instrument cluster.

Mine didn't come with the overhead console either.. The main thing I wanted was the temp & compass, so I had a new rear view mirror installed that had both of these (and the extra buttons) built in.
