2023 XL 8" -> 12" Upgrade Using Platinum Screen + Bezel Button Issues

[bobby17]

Hi There, I upgraded the 8" screen on my 2023 F-150 XL Rattler from the 8" to the 12". I found the screen on Ebay and didn't realize there was a difference in Button Layouts for the Platinum's vs the rest of them. Got a great deal on it though. The problem now is I don't have the correct bezel buttons. Can anyone help me determine whether these buttons will work of if there's another way I should go about this? I do not have auto stop start or parking assist, but I am hoping some forscan tweaks can make these buttons at least work so they aren't sticking out.

I don't have the answer you're looking for, so apologies about that...but are the connectors in the back different for different sized buttons?

When I do the 12" upgrade, I want to go from half sized buttons to full sized, but don't know if that's possible.

Not 100% sure, but I think the connectors are all the same, Just shaped differently. My 2015 had the same connectors and button sizes for both 2 button and 1 button layouts.

How much you paid for the screen.

I got it for $400. They Usually go for around $500. I didn't want to pay for the kit so I DIY'd it. All you need is:
12" F-150 screen: https://www.ebay.com/itm/389067935378
Wiring Harness: https://www.ebay.com/itm/205604390418
And the climate control bezel for whether you have a console or jumpseat. Super easy, video I watched wasthis one:

The wiring harness listed above is all the wiring you need, no need for soldering or heat shrink like in the video.

Solution: I honestly just ended up dremelling clearance. I took too much off, honestly, .5mm would've done the job just fine.
