For an F150 screen upgrade we list three Tesla-style Android screens: a 12.1-inch and a 16.8-inch for 2015 to 2020 trucks, and a 12.1-inch for 2009 to 2014. All keep the original radio system and the steering wheel controls. Which one fits depends on your year and your factory radio and trim, so confirm both with us before you order.
For an F150 screen upgrade we list three Tesla-style Android screens. The 2015 to 2020 trucks have a 12.1-inch and a 16.8-inch option, and the 2009 to 2014 trucks have a 12.1-inch option. If you searched for a 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 or 2019 F-150 screen, the 2015 to 2020 pair covers those model years.
The short answer on which to pick: choose by year first, then by size. Year decides which product page you are on. Your factory radio and trim decide whether the screen fits, and we confirm that for your truck before you pay.
This guide covers which F-150 years we cover, how the two 2015 to 2020 sizes differ, what the product pages say you keep, and what to confirm before you order.
Which F-150 screen upgrades we list
Our F-150 collection holds three screens:
- 2015 to 2020: 12.1-inch Tesla-style Android screen and 16.8-inch Tesla-style Android screen.
- 2009 to 2014: 12.1-inch Tesla-style Android screen.
"Tesla-style" means a vertical, portrait-orientation panel in the centre of the dash instead of a wide landscape screen. We do not list a screen for 2021 or newer F-150s. If your truck is a newer model, these pages are not for you.
12.1-inch or 16.8-inch for a 2015 to 2020 truck
Both sizes share the same feature list on their product pages. The difference you can see is panel size. The 16.8-inch is the larger of the two.
One detail differs on the pages today. The 16.8-inch page lists Android 13, and the 12.1-inch page lists Android 11. Both pages list 4 or 8 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of storage. If the Android version matters to you, ask us which one you are buying before you order.
We do not publish screen resolution or the exact panel dimensions here, because the product pages say only "high resolution touch screen". Ask support if you need numbers.
What the product pages say you keep
The 12.1-inch product pages list the following, and the 16.8-inch page lists the same items. Read the list as what the maker says the screen supports, not as a guarantee for every trim.
- The original radio system stays.
- The original knob and steering wheel controls work.
- A built-in parking guideline, with support for the original backup camera or an aftermarket one.
- Support for an aftermarket 360 surround view system.
- The original vehicle information, such as speed and oil, still displays.
- A built-in microphone for hands-free calls, with phone book and music support.
- GPS, Wi-Fi and Mirrolink built in, plus USB, an SD card slot and Bluetooth 5.0.
What the pages do not say, so we will not say it either: whether SYNC itself is retained, whether it works with a premium audio system, whether SiriusXM works, and whether a factory 360-degree camera is kept. If any of these matter to you, ask before you buy.
What we confirm before you order
Fitment on a truck is a combination of year, factory radio and trim, not year alone. A screen that fits a base-trim truck is not automatically right for a higher trim with a different factory radio. We check these before shipping:
- Model year. 2015 to 2020, or 2009 to 2014.
- Factory radio and trim. Tell us what is in the dash today and the trim of your truck.
- Backup camera. The pages say the original and aftermarket cameras are supported. Tell us what yours is.
- Anything you want to keep. SYNC, premium audio, SiriusXM, a factory 360-degree camera, a CD player. Name it and we will answer for your truck.
Honest limit: if your truck has a feature the product pages do not mention, we will tell you plainly if we cannot confirm it rather than guess.
If you also want new gauges, we list a 2015 to 2020 F-150 digital gauge cluster as a separate product.
Installation and support
The product pages describe the screens as plug and play. How long the install takes and what it involves depends on your truck, so ask before you plan a weekend around it.
Tech support is by video chat from Markham, Ontario, not a ticket queue. Send your year, trim and a photo of the factory screen and we will tell you which F-150 screen upgrade fits.
Quick decision checklist
Use the advertised year range to narrow the catalog, then confirm the factory equipment. This is a product-range summary, not a guarantee for every trim.
| Truck / requirement | Listed option | Confirm before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| 2009–2014 F-150 | 12.1-inch portrait screen | Factory radio, trim, camera and features to retain |
| 2015–2020 F-150 | 12.1-inch or 16.8-inch portrait screen | Factory radio, trim, A/C configuration and retained functions |
| A different year or unknown radio | Ask support to identify the truck first | Do not select a kit from screen size alone |
For an installation example, watch 4x4 Shop Canada’s F-150 screen installation video, linked from the product listing. Use it to understand the work involved; ask support to confirm the kit and instructions for your truck.
Frequently asked
Straight answers.
Which F-150 years can get a screen upgrade?
We list screens for 2015 to 2020 (12.1-inch and 16.8-inch) and for 2009 to 2014 (12.1-inch). We do not list one for 2021 or newer trucks.
Does a 2016, 2017, 2018 or 2019 F-150 use the same screen?
Those years fall inside the 2015 to 2020 range, so the 2015 to 2020 12.1-inch and 16.8-inch screens are the ones to look at. Fitment also depends on your factory radio and trim, which we confirm before you order.
Do I keep my steering wheel controls?
The product pages say the original knob and steering wheel controls are supported.
Will my backup camera still work?
The pages say the screen supports the original backup camera and aftermarket backup cameras, with a built-in parking guideline.
Does it keep the original radio system?
The pages say it keeps the original radio system. Whether SYNC, premium audio or SiriusXM carry over is not stated, so ask us for your truck.
What is the difference between the 12.1-inch and 16.8-inch screens?
Panel size, mainly. The 16.8-inch is larger. The pages also list Android 13 on the 16.8-inch and Android 11 on the 12.1-inch, so confirm the version with us if it matters.
Can I install it myself?
The pages describe it as plug and play. Time and difficulty depend on the truck, so ask support before you order. Support is by video chat from Markham, Ontario.
