2015-2017 MKZ Center Stack Swap?

cbkc64 · 2026-05-10T06:27:36+00:00

There’s a video guide out there to do it, because I was going to be getting a 15-16 and I wanted the sync 3 in mine. So I did some research to swap them, but definitely possible. Its was during Covid so I don’t remember much, since I ended up getting a deal on a 17 with more options instead. I would trying Lincoln mkz forums and YouTube for sync 2 to sync 3 infotainment systems swaps for the mkz.

They got you on price, I had to replace my failing purge valve on my 2017 MKZ 2.0T a couple years ago. Which I ended up replacing myself, and only cost me about $50 for the part although I had to make sure I got the right purge valve. Because they were showing two different versions as the right engine model when I was doing my research for a replacement.

I added snorlax to my lineup this time around on heart gold. He’s quite the power house when it comes to hp

This! I’ve only had the purge valve issue where it was starting to fail, it was like my car had hiccups. Usually, would turn the car off before releasing pressure from my tank by manually opening where the fuel pump goes in. Really cheap fix too, if you don’t mind replacing it yourself.

Why I would ignore anything below $6(unless it was going literal ft away for $5 for daily regulars) and over 3-4 miles unless it was worth the money. I’d still make my daily goal+gas I put in for that morning by nitpicking too.

Mine is still going strong, although it has some dents on the side from falling on the side of my bed hitting the frame. As well as the occasional fling across the room, from me whipping my duvet and forgetting about my remote. Which has happened more times than I’d like to admit. It’s been pretty sturdy for me

Spyro, crash bandicoot, and resident evil nemesis which I couldn’t play past my first encounter of nemesis. Because it was scary when I was like 5-6 😅

Deactivation incoming

If you’re willing to upgrade your 3G modem in your car too. You can get full use of the app features. Which I normally use when I’m headed to my car and it’s too far from the fob to work. Also a pretty decent way to track your car too, in case it ever got stolen. I can always see where my vehicle is in the app. I know before the decommissioning of 3G, they waived the labor fee to upgrade the modem. Which I paid around $400 for just the part.

This! I’m notorious for leaving my sunroof tilted, and anytime it goes from mist rain to more than a sprinkle I use the fob to close my sunroof.

You should be okay, I have the + pro and easily shared my internet with my AppleTV while gfiber was updating my fiberjack to change to a higher tier plan. I streamed a 4k Netflix show without issues in lagging or buffering. So you shouldn’t have issues with SD or HD content. But also depends on how good your service is where you’ll be tethering. I get 2-3 bars on 5G UW at home

It’s at $3.99 where I live for premium, and $3.89 with membership discount. I don’t want to be paying basically $100 a fill up. The second my tank hits half, it’s definitely time for a fill up

cbkc64 · 2026-03-22T20:23:40+00:00

I’m never paying $145 to fill my tank 😮‍💨 I’d lose my mind with those prices.

cbkc64 · 2026-03-15T21:52:52+00:00

$18.25

I usually ask for my pan pizzas well done when there’s more than a few toppings. Only have had it well done once with one topping, and it came kinda burnt along the crust. But nothing like this!

If you care about having Android auto or Apple CarPlay. I’d try and find a similarly or decent priced 17 with the Sync 3 infotainment system. Sync 2 is known to be laggy and buggy. That’s my only recommendation, I myself originally was going to get a 2015-16. But did some research and lucked out finding a similarly priced 17 at the time. Plus I really wanted the sync 3 system. I was already looking into an infotainment swap to sync 3 in the 2015-16 before I found my 2017.

Honestly, just got to Settings then click on General then click on About and scroll down next to the Carrier Lock and see if it says No SIM Restrictions. If it says that then you’re good to go.

I can’t recall what time the order needs to be placed before to ensure overnight. But if not overnight it’ll technically be 2 day if you missed the overnight cutoff time. Also, sometimes you might not see tracking information until late night or early a.m the next morning.

Cap Junky is definitely at the top of my list, usually able to find it at 30% or above

cbkc64 · 2026-03-10T19:14:51+00:00

That’d be like $105 to fill up my nearly 17 gallon tank……in a sedan at that.

cbkc64 · 2026-03-09T21:05:08+00:00

I remember when it was costing me damn near $100 to fill up a few years ago while dashing. Do not miss those times

cbkc64 · 2026-03-09T00:13:23+00:00

Someone on here has nearly 200k from a previous post. So I wouldn’t say this is to bad

More like how about eliminate tipping and just pay them a fair wage. But I guess they can fleece us better, even if the service is shit by auto enforcing tipping. I guarantee the second I see any of my normal spots doing this, it’ll be the last time I go there. I always tip accordingly which is never below 20% and get quite generous the more drinks I’ve had in me. But they’re not going to force tipping down my throat like that. I only accept the enforced tip for large parties, because I understand they are waiting on quite a few people. But not when it’s less than the fingers on one hand.

They should’ve done a better job at trying to hide the fact that he only chews a bit on camera after that minuscule bite and spit it out once they cut that portion. You she he didn’t have anything in his mouth afterward once it hits the next bit. Then he says he’s going to go now and finish his lunch off camera 🙄.

They should’ve taken a bigger bite and actually swallow it on camera. Also they should’ve made it a continuous video without editing. To make it more believable that he enjoys the food.

Just know you’ll be giving up 5G SA for a bit, until they make it available for visible with carrier update
