Have a 2008 Superduty F250XL 4X4 and it came from the factory with the plain-Jane AM/FM radio.Will the factory 6 disc CD player out of another 08 directly replace this AM/FM without modifying the dash or anything else?It looks to be the same size.
View 2 RepliesI am looking to replace my Current six disk CD player for an aftermarket unit with Bluetooth capability. I have looked at Crutchfield. Are there any other good online suppliers I should look at?
View 4 RepliesI have a 2011 F150 Lariat and need some basic info with the operation of my CD player. It is a Sony 6 CD in dash player. What I need to know is how to advance a CD and move to the next CD in line to be played. i.e., if I am playing CD #3 how do I advance to CD #4 without cycling through all of the songs on CD #3.
View 7 RepliesI have an Excursion that now has three new LCD's screens in it, and no way to output to them, using the Factory DVD player. I know it CAN be done. I just don't know which wires to Tap into.
I only want to take out the Video from the current harness, into a Video signal AMP. I assume there should be two wires for video Ground and signal(or +) The AUDIO woudl also be nice to find, as well. But not necessary.
Looking for a wiring Diagram, or if any Map out where the wires are.
I have an aftermarket single disk Cd player in my 2000 ranger. lately going over the smallest bump in the road causes the disk to skip. I can go over big bumps, train tracks etc... with no effects on the disk. Is it possible that the laser that reads the disk can be loose? Is it possible to tighten it? It doesn't affect the radio operation.

I've read that some people are replacing their door speakers like I want to do and reporting much better sound. My question is now that I realize I have the audiophile system, it is still worth swapping these speakers and will it be better sound? I bought 2 pairs of Pioneer TS-A6886R 6x8's.
I had a 98 Lexus GS 400 and I upgraded the stereo with an head unit, amp and all the door speakers and disconnected the subwoofer and actually liked how it sounded. I guess the upgraded speakers were so much better that the subwoofer wasn't needed.
So Should I try to bypass the factory tweeters and subwoofer and run everything into these newer supposedly better 4 way speakers in the door? Or just plug in the new speakers and let tem act as mid ranges?
BTW Do I need to remove entire door panel or just grills? It seems pretty straight forward for wiring. Anything I should know?
How to remove the black outer trim from the dash area around the radio? I need to do a little sub-dash mod to fit my new double DIN head unit in place, and don't want to break the dash trim in the process. I've pulled on it a bit, but decided I had better stop until I found out the correct way to do it ...
View 2 Replies2008 F250 KR Superduty with full Nav, CD, DVD,Sirius..... So one day last week I get in my truck and no sound from the radio (yes I adjusted the volume) when on Sat Radio. Changed it to FM, no problem worked great, AM same thing worked great. Navigation no problem, CD jammed to ZZ Top. Back to Sat radio and nothing. Called Sirius, account up to date (wife and sons car radio still working), sent reset signal 3 times, no go. So I played around and finally just turned to volume all the way to Max and I could hear a faint sound of music. So radiophiles WHATS WRONG WITH MY SAT RADIO!

View 2 RepliesFirst time ford owner so am not familiar with any quirks in the vehicle. Anyhow, about a year ago I replaced the head unit for the previous owner without any problems. All my connections are good and I rechecked them this morning. The problem is all the rear speakers cut in and out for no particular reason.
I have tested this even with the engine off just on acc. I have manipulated the wiring harness in the dash and I can't make it cut out or in so I am inclined to think something is that triggers a relay near the center armrest is the source of the issue. That relay is switching every time but I have yet looked into that. Is this a common issue?
The vehicle just had the BCM (I think that's what it's called on a ford) replaced because of a similar random relay issue in the right kick fuse panel causing the headlights to randomly flicker.
Is there anyway to make the night mode on these Nav/Sirius radios darker?? In night and auto modes this thing is just too bright.....
View 1 RepliesI just purchased a 2008 F-350 and I am trying to get my "line in" plug to connect to my iPhone. When I connect everything my radio says no connection to auxiliary. I am wondering if the plug is bad? And where could I find this plug? Figuring the name out to search is another ???
View 2 RepliesI have an 08 f150. Doing an Alpine iva w203 head unit. The back of the factory radio has two harness plugs, one is bigger than the other. A third plug is the ant. which needs an adapter too....but the root question is...... The bigger of the two is the harness that adapts to plug into the new unit, what is the second OEM smaller plug for that has no spot to plug into the alpine unit? does it just sit there not plugged in now?
Is the second smaller plug for the steering wheel controls? is this where I connect the SWI-JACK adapter that allows the steering wheel controls from the truck to go to the radio? if so, where do i find a harness adapter to plug into this second OEM harness?
2013 F-250. Sync. No navigation. I am able to pair my Android cell phone to the truck and all works fine. Can send and receive calls using the voice commands etc. I am also able to play music from my bluetooth enabled LG V10 android cell phone. When I start the truck, it automatically detects my cell phone, connects to it and begins playing music from my cell phone through the truck stereo. And therein lies the problem.
My question is, is there a way to tell the truck to go ahead and connect to the cell phone, but don't start playing music. In other words, I don't want the truck to launch the music player on my cell phone. I always have to either turn off the player on my cell phone or give the "pause" command through bluetooth audio.
On my '06 XL F350 I want to know if and how I can hook up an auxiliary input. It has the AUX button ,but it doesn't have any aux audio port in the dash anywhere like some of the nicer F-series have. When I push the AUX button, the screen reads "NO AUX AUDIO". Is there an adapter I can buy to plug in the back so I can actually have and auxiliary input?

View 6 RepliesSo i have this whistle/wine through my system when running the Sirius thingy. It seems to correlate with rpm... Higher the rpm... higher pitched the whine/whistle...
The pitch of the whistle almost matches my turbo whistle. The Sirius is powered through the cigar lighter port. Aux audio 3.5mm cord from Sirius to the stereo head.
The display in the stereo in my crown vic died a while ago. It is the same single disc CD player used in the 99-03 superduty trucks.
