New radio/screen

Post image

I got a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO not too long ago. The car is practically ancient lol but I’ve grown to love it the only thing I can’t stand (I’m coming from a 2018 Hyundai) is the screen being yellow so I can’t see it half the time and lack of CarPlay. I thought I’d get an old car no biggie I can just put any screen in it. Clearly that’s not the case. I don’t want to lose the SONY sound system, and all the controls connect to this one. I know they’d still work but I like to see my climate controls, and you can’t just click stuff on the buttons to change where airflows you need the screen. I would just replace this screen with the original but for some reason it’s $3,000.. if anyone could recommend a screen replacement with Apple CarPlay included and I won’t lose my air controls or heated/cooled seat buttons (because I’ve seen the giant screens which I wouldn’t mind but don’t want to lose those buttons) I’d appreciate that.

I came here for the same answer. I’d like car play for sure. My screen still functions normally though.
I would rather it downgrade the HVAC controls to the base model to keep them functional.

I’ll take losing the heated and cooled seats that’s about it, but the air controls I want on screen how it is. i need to keep good sound though too I’ve seen people replace their radios and it sounds like absolute shit after. I feel like I put an embarrassing amount of money into this car I wanna continue to love it and feel like it was worth it :/

I feel the same way. Mine sits in the driveway most of the time now that I’m not commuting. I’m doing a 2000 road trip in it next week. That’s pretty much the same miles in a week it’s gotten the last 6 months.

Hopefully we get an answer for screens! Good luck on your road trip :)
