An extra overload of details in case I disappear, none of this is really important and just informational.
Around 2011, most Fords were updated to the CGEA 1.2 architecture. This involved three CAN-BUS networks: HS-CAN, MS-CAN, and I-CAN (High Speed, Medium Speed, Infotainment). All three...
I rented a Suburban with that feature and mostly hated it. It's fantastic when your cargo area is fully loaded, and limits how bright highbeams behind you can be, but had several downsides.
1) When in regular 'mirror' mode, it couldn't articulate enough to function as an actual mirror
2)...
I've been all over the country, have yet to see one.
I was tempted to swing by Granger on my way from Kansas to Wisconsin last week. Naturally, I was out of state when they had the Bronco display in Oshkosh, WI.
Step into my office. I've done a bit of research and DIY on this topic as I added a front parking camera to my 2016 Flex (Sync 3). All of this assumes Sync 4 is similar enough to Sync 3
Here's what I've learned about Fords:

If Google/Android taught me anything, that answer means "we're pretending to give a shit about your concerns, but we're going to continue doing what we want"
Challenge accepted. I'd imagine once you get the components installed, it's some Forscan changes.
Flex never offered lanekeeping or autohighbeams, didn't stop me from adding the hardware and enabling the functionality ;) Sway bars are just a lot heavier.
Place your bets for the next constraint.
I have $5 that says they run out of VINs. Not the plates, just numbers in general.
That or the paper the window stickers are printed on.
I like the idea of build-to-order. You really only need a handful of cars on the lot for the sake of test drives and people who need a car *today*. Having a hundred brand new cars on the lot means one good hailstorm is probably on its way. Now if you're actually selling these cars quickly...
