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.

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

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.

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

A lot of mucking around, apparently FG Mk2 uses a US spec ECU/BEM same as Territory and not the same as FG 1. Can't remember the exact details though.
