accelrate Donating Members 47 Member For: 16y 4m 9d Posted 04/11/11 06:24 AM Share Posted 04/11/11 06:24 AM Just curious if anyone knows what the difference between the FG Premium screen and the SZ Territory touch screen is (plugs, BEM ...etc). I am wondering because I reckon touch screens are cool. Would it be plug and play? Anyone with an SZ and willing to take pics of it out or something?Any help would be awesome, Thanks.

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 04/11/11 10:03 AM Share Posted 04/11/11 10:03 AM Wouldn't matter. You could run the new lead back to the ecu. The terminals would have to be different. Think about it.The ECU is the same...so I bewieve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 06/11/11 02:55 AM Share Posted 06/11/11 02:55 AM Pretty sure Ford would need to ping it in. As in update the ECU. $$$$$ Pricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accelrate Donating Members 47 Member For: 16y 4m 9d Posted 06/11/11 06:41 PM Author Share Posted 06/11/11 06:41 PM Yeah I figured Ford would have to play around with it. I know that FG2 is getting the screen, I just wanted to be the first. Plus I should be able to sell my premium screen for a lot more now. I was also asking on here because someone might have an SZ we can have a look at. Oh well, I'll just have to wait. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TER80D Donating Members 48 Member For: 13y 5m 23d Posted 02/02/12 11:56 AM Share Posted 02/02/12 11:56 AM I have also been thinking about this lately and 2 main things come to mind from my computing background.1. The resolution of the new screen would have to match that of the old screen otherwise it would look like crap (LCD panels have a native resolution and if you don't use it then whatever is driving the signal would have to approximate what it should look like and it ends up blurry)2. Would there even be an input for the "touch" portion of the screen. Even if there was (Which is doubtful given that even the Sat Nav optioned cars don't have touch capabilities) the hidden head unit driving the whole thing would have to understand what those inputs were.The only way it would seem possible is if you transplanted the entire centre unit from a MK2 into a MK1 and not just the screen. It looks like the only change to physical dimensions on the MK2 for the centre section is that the screen area goes higher than in the MK1.Would love to know how this pans out as this is probably the only thing I would want to do to my G6E Turbo that brings me into line with the MK2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the exact details though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
