Looked at this a while back, wanted Android Auto for maps , You can buy the new face plastic to accept a Double din and the wiring all online
Its made by Pac Audio Or as H20Camper just mentioned

As long as you do not have sync 3 either of those kits will work, I have that exact radio in my XLT using the Pac kit. Both of the those kits come with a module, make sure to update the software on the module before installation also.

I'm going to do something similar as what h20camper did. Got everything from Crutchfield and will attempt installation this weekend. Hope everything goes in smoothly. This is what I got:

Kenwood Excelon DDX9904S
Metra 40-EU10 Antenna Adapter
Crutchfield Advanced ReadyHarness Service (this is basically the wiring harness for the Maestro. I think you can also get it on Amazon)
iDatalink Maestro ADS-MRR Interface Module
iDatalink KIT-FTR1 Factory System Adapter

The biggest struggle I had was removing the OEM Y shaped metal bracket at the top back of the dash. The documentation that iDatalink provides is good.

I am also looking into this. I have the 4inch screen in my XLT....

That is a very good video!

I liked the iDatalink dash kit better than the PAC. I like the storage slot and the two USB, one HDMI and one 3.5mm audio jacks it provides. I have a 1 foot USB cable that works perfectly for jack to phone. I also preferred its HVAC Control location.

The only downside to this kit is they remove the 4 ford buttons, Pac turns these to camera controls so you can zoom which is kinda nice

Huh? What buttons? My iDataLink maintained all buttons less the audio which the PAC removes as well.

(UPDATE: I see what you're referring to with their module.)

Here's the PAC.

Did your usb pocket go in the dash opening smoothly? Somehow mine doesn't fit. Not even close. I'm on phone with Crutchfield to find a solution.https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...615ed18870.jpg

Yes, it did. Its it the right direction? (Sorry, had to ask.) The hole inside the pocket goes down.
