Multitask Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 So I know some of the newer 2020 Fords came with USB C ports... but the MKZ (or Lincolns) did not? Has anyone looked into swapping that module to add the USB and USB C ports in the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, need to give you the usual caveats and warnings: If you make that modification and run into SYNC 3/Audio or other similar system issues later and Lincoln discovers your modification, Lincoln will likely deny your warranty claim. Let us know how you make out and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yup, understood... I've been poking around, and no one seems to make it for most of the recent years (or at all) ... must not be popular... Odd that Ford did it to some of the fords just not all, nor the Lincolns...

Is this what you're talking about? https://www.amazon.com/TIKSCIENCE-Ford-Interface-Replaces-HS7T-14F014-AC/dp/B081VP3C1G If so, it is a easy plug and play as long you know how to remove the trim and release the stock interface piece. Shouldn't run into any warranty issues or get any problems, minus connectivity if the part itself is faulty (which is on you to replace then).

Yup, that is what I'm talking about... but I believe it's only for the Fusion... the MKZ place I think is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are USB-C ports in some Lincolns, the Corsair & Aviator for sure. This would work in an MKZ, provided the SYNC version is 3.4, according to the info provided.

Multitask Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) All kidding aside.. at $60, I think I'd pass, plus it'll take 4 weeks to get ... Also, based on the grammar, I'm betting the person who put that data in, English is not the first language. Not very professional.

crushalot Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Why not just use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Elebase-Upgraded-Connector-Chargers-Interface/dp/B07LF72431/ref=psdc_3015402011_t5_B07XYTHCXV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) That wouldn't work for me... it's Thunderbolt, not USB C I say that because the connectors are reversed for TB and USBC... TB outside, USBC inside Edited April 17, 2020 by Multitask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
