Looks good with some modifications.

This kit requires a good bit of modification to your old radio housing. Cutting a little and then test fit often because can always cut off a little more but it's hard to put it back. If you are keeping your steering wheel controls you will have to cut a large enough whole to feed the wiring through to the stock screen. I can confirm the metal clips that hold the panel in place are indeed a one time type insert. If you have to take it back off the clips will go shooting into you open dash. Test fit the panel before you put the clips on. And beware of the air clips as they are prone to breaking. I did find that you have to push the hazard flashers connector in fairly hard. Push till you hear the click and pray you don't have to take it back off. Overall the look is very good and if you take your time you'll be ok.

Dont start this at NIGHT!!!

Whew, I got it installed. I started this install at 8pm. bad ideal. In a carport, outside in the cold. Yes I am the bad guy. The included instructions on how to remote old unit was spot on. Putting this in. oh my. I don't work on ford vehicles very often and after this I will stick to Toyotas. There was a plastic shelf in the dash that's had to be CUT OUT. I meal really cut something out that you may need in the future, wow ford. The cables that I ordered worked great, even though I was confused for at least 30 minutes. I shoved the head unit in and attached the facing to the car and got it good. I think I was lucky. The items that was supposed to be in the side of the head unit was not used. What a crazy night.

Garbage that requires major modifications to work

If it were possible to give this a lower review, I would. What's not mentioned, until you open this, is that it requires major modifications under the covers to get this to fit in the Ford Escape. This would not be such a problem if the instructions weren't garbage. They show a drawn image of the area to remove under the dash - the image isn't accurate to what's actually there. Then to put everything in, it states to just put stuff in. Well, it doesn't fit and at that point you're pretty much hosed as you can't put the old stuff back in. Your choices are to start randomly cutting to try and get the new unit to fit or to take it somewhere. I ended up taking it somewhere and paying a heck of a fee to get the new head unit installed (which took the pros about 3 hours). Unless you're comfortable with cutting tools and reshaping things behind your dash, just save yourself a few hours of pain and annoyance and just take your vehicle somewhere instead. Yeah, it's gonna cost you money but it will likely save your sanity.

Looks beautiful but the backend is cheap

I hate giving this a three star review because it looks so gorgeous and you can't tell it isn't stock, but there were several things that really suck. 1- With the upgrade, the Sync is no longer used. I would have liked some kind of conversion topper that replaces the Sync itself with a blank wall. Right now it just looks...incomplete? 2- The Dash Kit has connectors on the side for your AC Vents that use the factory tabs. The connectors are super cheap though and break easily. Be very careful! 3- There are two single retaining pins in the front to hold the dash kit in. These clips are "single use" as if you pull the dash out again, they'll snap out of place and go ricocheting under your dash. Be forewarned to be very very careful in removing the trim kit. 4- If you're using the instructions, they're awful for telling you where to cut. Do NOT cut the top portion as I've read other people do. You basically want to carve out the entire base platform. If you do that perfectly, the unit fits so beautiful and you can't even tell it's not stock. I'm serious, it's a gorgeous kit. Here's my tip: the instructions call for a hacksaw. You'll never get it in there, that's a joke. Go to an auto parts store and grab a fine toothed bimetal sawzall blade. Wrap a towel around the holding end and manually saw the plastic portions out. The sawzall blade is flexible enough to get right up against the left and right walls and cut perfectly. It is amazing

Should have told me not to cut the bottom out if I didnt have the top!

Week later and still not installed. HINT..Do not cut off the bottom piece off as instructed if you have already cut off the top piece because then you have nothing to bolt your radio too!!!) WIsh someone would have told me this prior to following the directions which stated to cut off the bottom.....so now we are going to have to make something to bolt the radio too in order to install the radio kit. But aas far as fit and look it loooks nice. We have put carbon fiber over lays on it so when we finally get it in it should look great!

An OK product, but modifications to it are required to make it work

The unit looks good installed, but the attachment of the factory vents leaves a lot to be desired. Some of the clips aren't even latching to the vents, so you have to take extra care during re-assembly. The radio mounting brackets were way off - too long at the bottom. I had to cut them off about 1/4" below the bottom slots to fit into the modified space for the Pioneer unit I purchased. I also had to modify the emergency flasher connection to allow the factory plug to actually latch into place.

Great fit to add aftermarket double-din stereo in 2013 Ford Escape SE

New aftermarket stereo install went well with this kit that exactly matched my model car dash and provided functionality that was there before as well (4-way hazards and passenger airbag light). Had to use tape over the clips that attach to factory air vents mainly so that they did not pop off while placing it into the dash. Great product though as I figured there'd be more irregularities in the fit.
