Pepelepewwww Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Has anyone here done any stereo installations on their C-MAX? I have an SE model with the standard sync system (no mytouch). I have been looking online and haven't seen much info on aftermarket options for this car. What I would really like to do if possible is install a small tablet into the dash (have seen this done on other vehicles). Now I am wondering if I should have purchased one with the mytouch option... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wab Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Greeting and Welcome Take a look at this thread, it's from last year.http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/3977-double-din-dash-kit-is-here/ Have you checked Crutchfield, Cartoys etc?Here's a link to Crutchfield.http://www.crutchfield.com/mobile/car/carselector.aspx?info=|1547|15|69&vb=Y&i=&cc=01&stereoselector=&lp=%2fCar%2foutfitmycar%2fcar.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepelepewwww Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks! Don't know why I couldn't find that. I also didn't know aftermarket stereos would offer Apple CarPlay. That makes it even more tempting. I'll definitely post here if I end up trying it. One thing I am wondering is what would come of the sync system and the small screen the car has (above where the install kit goes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPL Tech Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) One thing I am wondering is what would come of the sync system and the small screen the car has (above where the install kit goes).Both would become inoperative. In addition, the radio, telephone and compass listings on the left screen on your HUD would not continue functioning as well. All you would get are the energy leaves most likely. Also, you would need a dash kit to install a new headunit, and last I checked no one made one for the CMAX. That might have changed though.

Podivin Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Personally I'd be very hesitant to add any aftermarket radio to this car, due to the way that everything is connected the dash displays and steering wheel controls, as SPL Tech mentioned above. That seems like a nightmare just waiting to come true if you start messing with that particular batch of electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainkey Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 I live in the town where Crutchfield is located. I took my cmax to their trained installer. He flat out said no. Don't bother upgrading as it would be a costly nightmare. fbov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowStorm Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 When I talked to them it depended on model. See this post and the ones it links to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
