OEM screens are junk. Overpriced and unreliable. The fact that its a Ford's OEM screen makes it even worse.

Only? At the old shop I worked at, $150 was 3 hours of labor. I would have charged 1.5 hours, which is $75.

canada seems to be hell for car audio lol. i don't know of any good online stores there.

keep in mind you are going to need $91 in installation and if you order from the us you will probably pay $50 in fees on top of shipping.

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_24398_Jensen-VM9424.html this ends up being $552 USD($564 CA) after install gear/fees/shipping.
