IMPORTANT FITMENT REQUIREMENT

The Simple Fitment Rule
If your vehicle is listed above AND has the factory 8" infotainment screen, this is the correct APX-S8-FO1 application.
The JVC/Kenwood compatibility documentation identifies the APX-S8-FO1 for the major Ford/Lincoln applications above and identifies an 8" OEM screen as the applicable factory configuration.
Factory screen size is critical. Year and model alone do not guarantee compatibility.

Pro Audio Center Expert Recommendation
This is the bundle we'd recommend for customers with a compatible Ford or Lincoln equipped with the factory 8" screen who want a major technology upgrade without piecing together the installation components themselves.
The JVC KW-Z1000AW provides the modern features most customers want—10.1" HD display, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Bluetooth, multiple camera support and advanced audio controls—while the Maestro APX system is designed to integrate the receiver into the vehicle's existing electronics.
The biggest thing to remember is the factory 8" screen requirement.
If the customer has the correct vehicle and the factory 8" infotainment system, this bundle is an excellent way to turn an aging factory infotainment system into a modern touchscreen platform while maintaining an OEM-inspired installation.
For customers who are also upgrading their speakers, amplifiers or subwoofer, the KW-Z1000AW is an especially strong choice because of its 4V preouts, 13-band EQ, 3-way crossover and time-alignment capabilities.
Our recommendation: Verify the factory screen size before ordering. If it has the factory 8" system and is listed above, this is the bundle to use.
