    Very easy to install with proper tools. Struggled a bit with 2011 media port change out, but overall quite easy. Plugged and played. Nice to have back all our options and controls, even more than we knew of.

    Absolutely seamless from start to finish! I first watched the video, then unboxed the parts, noting which year vehicle I had. Everything needed was in the package, all neatly boxed up in OEM Ford containers. Installation was a breeze, and with the many helpful tips from the video, I was done in nothing flat! Operation of the head unit is flawless, even better than some other vehicles I have owned with CarPlay! A quality product with excellent support and great customer service!

    Superb product. The installation video hosted by Doug caught my attention as it was narrated in detail and the video showed all the important steps. The ordering process required detailed information (IE: VIN) that I felt I would receive the correct unit with all necessary components with the first shipment. Installation was a little challenging but due to my ineptness , not the product itself. Support was adequate but understaffed. I do highly recommend the product and was ultimately satisfied with Infotainment support. The end results truly modernized my Explorer.

    Upgraded the MyFord Touch in my 2011 Explorer from Sync 1 to Sync 2. The video instructions were very helpful; however, my installation took a bit longer. Still, no regrets. I am very happy with the new Apple CarPlay features. Thanks!!

    I spent more time getting two trim pieces out of the dashboard than I did actually putting the parts in. The parts were well marked and the video available online was easy to follow and made the install a snap. I expect to have this system for a long time.

    This unit is exactly what it was supposed to be. The YouTube video on install was great and the installation is easy. Tje only thing not mentioned in install video is how fragile the plastic piece is at the top of face plate by air vents. I cracked mine because it would not just pull out like said on video. The price was more than I had hoped but to have everything on the car screen is worth it and so much nicer than having to look at phone for maps or texting while driving. The Apple Carplay works perfect.

          Infotainment.com is not responsible or liable for lost, missing, or stolen shipments. It is recommended that a customer opts for signature confirmation and/or package insurance prior to checkout to help mitigate the liability of losing their shipment.

          General:

              • Verify the shipping address used within checkout to ensure it is correct
              • Look for a notice of attempted delivery
              • Look around the delivery location for your package. Many times carriers will place the package in a location that isn’t typical, ie. behind the fence, by the garage, near the mailbox, etc. 
              • See if someone else accepted the delivery such as a family member or neighbor. In recent past, customers have found the package mixed with other family member’s packages inside their home several days after delivery.

              • Please note that the Military Postal Service Agency does not consider a package to be lost until 60 days after the date of mailing. If the customer still has not received their package after 60 days then please contact customer service to assist you in filing a missing package inquiry with the MPSA. Once the inquiry is received, the MPSA will be in contact to positively identify the owner and ship the item to the recipient should it be found.

           

          In the event a lost or missing package is not recovered within 14-days (domestic shipments) or 30-days (international shipments) a police report may be required at the discretion of the customer support manager. All part numbers and/or serial numbers are recorded prior to shipping, this vital information will assist the police with the investigation. Depending solely on the circumstances, the customer support manager may opt to release another identical shipment requiring a direct signature of the original buyer.
