There are a couple options for android tablets, but none for iPad that I'm aware. Apple is much harder to modify to the specific needs of the vehicle, while android is relatively easy to customize.

Look at the Phoenix android threads for more details there. if your dead set on using an iPad, I wouldn't try and replace the dash screen. You'll surely lose all your sync functions. You could probably mount a tablet on the dash somewhere, connect audio to the aux input for sync, and wire in power somehow. Not as elegant for sure, but probably the best you're going to get.

I have the pro and used this mount along with an Amazon ball mount and it works out great. I used the iPad for Leadnav offroading and out of all my stuff that has fallen from all the rattling around this is the only solid thing that has never fallen off. Perk with the ball mount is I can also position it anywhere and can easily take it off when I park it so it doesn't call attention.

If you have any questions about mounting either item let me know. I don't have my phone on me but can take a picture of what it looks like in my truck if I remember later.


Dash Mount: Simple to remove the tray and bolt it down.

Ipad Mount: I used bolts instead of the provided screws to mount it to the Dashmount. What's nice about this kit is it is long enough to come in front of the sync3 screen or off to the side and comes with the ball mount.

My bad if I miss read it but that's how I used it for entertainment and nav. I love my remote start and Ford Pass app to track the truck and also start it in the app. I havent seen any of those tablet screens be compatible with sync 3 and not lose the remote start and voice command stuff.

Go to Youtube and check out Keep it Dirty Offroad. He just got back from SEMA with the replacement pad for the dash and did a video on it. I think Kino from Offroad Alliance may have put it on his site as well.
