I have a 2012 F250 XLT. I have the stock 1CD changer. I am considering one of the fancy touch screen radios with nav. Need to know if my wiring would be compatable with this type of radio? If so are there any recommendations out there for a system? I saw one Astrium GEE-2865. I don't know anything about them though.

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?
Have my new-to-me 2006 F250 and managed to wire up my back up camera, USB connectors, and run the wire for my microphone. My only hang-up is trying to get the wire to stay up under the headliner. I ran it across under the steering wheel, up the A-pillar, and out behind the headliner and I want to attach it on the side of the overhead console. I tried simply stuffing the cable between the roof and headliner but that didn't seem to work. Trying a non-permanent solution so not wanting to use glue or other adhesive in case I need to replace the mic someday. Can successfully make mic cord stay underneath the headliner?

View 14 RepliesLooking to upgrade it with an AUX input (from an iPhone), and with an integrated Sirius radio.
I prefer the look of OEM. Can I simply replace the radio with a newer OEM unit that has these features, or is it more complicated than that? If I can replace it with an OEM unit, which one?
My 06 Superduty had a plain jane AM/FM stereo. I got a 6CD MP3 replacement from a pick-a-part. I don't know the vehicle it came from, all I can say is that it was an SUV. The radio didn't look the greatest, but it worked. I went back to the junkyard to see if I could get the plug for the AUX line-in. I found a 2007 Fusion that had it so I grabbed the radio, cut the plug that goes into the back and grabbed that too. The line-in was in the center console so I cut that out too. There were seven wires coming out of the radio plug and four coming out of the line-in jack. I connected the four wires because they were the same color on both ends. One was a black wire that ran to a foil shield that encased part of the harness. I guess the other two go to the CAN bus? I don't know, there is no provision for them in my truck. The fusion radio takes a different antennae plug and the face doesn't work. When I plug in the line-in plug that I wired up, it only works on one channel. When I plug it into the radio from the SUV and hit the AUX button, it says NO AUX. Do I need one of those PIE connectors, or is there a way to make my pigtail work?
View 2 RepliesOur 6CD Radio indicates all the CD Slots are full and there are no CD's in it. It will not "load", just says "CD Error". I purchased another USED radio same exact Model # and it does the same thing. Do I have (2) bad radio's which do the exact same thing? Or is there something else in the vehicle which would make the radio's indicate this? Like rear controls?

View 3 RepliesI just bought a new JCV radio and i want to replace it with the oem radio in my truck. My truck is a 1996 Ford F250 XLT. I bought the wire harness and one connects to my radio and the other connect to the grey and red wire coming out of my dash, now there is another connector coming out of the dash that is black and i believe it is for the speaker but, i can't find an adapter to fit it . Is there a male or female adapter that i can plug it to it and the splice the other end to the harness that i bought?

View 1 RepliesMy friend left the windows open in my 2003 ford escape while it was raining, and now my radio won't work.. Nothing shows up on the led(I think?) part where the time and radio station are supposed to show.. The only thing that works on the radio is that when you turn the headlamps on, the numbers, buttons, and volume dial light up.. Will the radio need to be replaced? Or is there something I can do to fix it
View 2 RepliesJust installed a new jvc kd-s48 stereo and it cuts out for a half a second every couple seconds. Kind of like a scratched cd but it's with the tuner and mp3. The sound "stumbles" and then it very quickly raises back up. it sort of seems like if I wiggle the wires in the back it'll stop. I will check all connections, I use female and male spade connectors and then shrink wrap over each connection. Could it be a faulty deck?
View 5 RepliesI have a 1999 F-350 crew cab. I have a fusion active bass tube in the back, and my family went to Tahoe, so I took out all the bass tube but the wires had to be left in the truck. I thought I capped the wires but I guess I didn't or the cap came off. Anyways, I was plugging the wires back into the bass tube when I got home and there was a big spark, I think the ground wire and the wire connected to the battery touched. Now the radio does not work at all. I'm guessing I blew a fuse, I don't know how to fix it, or what fuse that would need to be replaced.
View 2 RepliesI have a 2011 F-250 Xlt that came with the standard radio/CD player and I wanted to replace it with a OEM Navigation Unit. I was going to have FORD install it once I can get my hands on one.
My question is:
1) Do I (just) need the head unit, or will I need wiring harness and other accessories? (the truck has sync, had xm radio)
2) Will the steering wheel buttons still function.
3) Is there anything I should know before attempting this
4) Will there be any repercussions.
