Ford Audio/Video System :: Tapping Into Power At Overhead Console
I'd like to stick my Garmin up next to the rear view mirror and not have a wire hanging down. Tapping into power above the overhead console? I should be able to clip the plug off the Garmin power cord and tie into 12vdc directly and tuck the short wire where the rear view wire comes out.

Ford Audio/Video System :: 2014 F250 - How To Install Car Stereo
I have a 2014 F-250 Super Duty Crew Cab 8' bed XL trim package with the standard am/fm/cd without sub woofer stereo. I don't have steering wheel controls. I'm looking to install an aftermarket navigation stereo (double-din) with a backup camera. I am having a very hard time finding a wiring harness or a dash install kit. I've searched both 2013 and 2014 but haven't found anything.
In addition, the guy at my local car toys told me that the accessory power in the wiring harness is only 5v for the stereo, and that because of that they have to splice into my wires to get a true 12v accessory power for my stereo to power on. I'm not a big fan of splicing into factory wiring harness to install an aftermarket stereo on a truck that has barely 1000 miles on it.
Ford Audio/Video System :: 2006 F250 - DVD Install On With Sunroof?
Installing a LCD DVD on a '06 F250 w/ sunroof? I have a F250 on order and frankly it frustrates me that I couldn't order a factory dvd player from Ford. I am hesitant to take this in and get done at an aftermarket shop since the sunroof potentially adds some complication to the install.
BTW, one of the conditions my kids (8 and 10 yr old) gave me for getting rid of my Expedition was getting the new truck with DVD.
Ford Audio/Video System :: 2003 F150 - No Power To CD
I just purchased a 2003 F150 with the factory CD / Cassette player. 3l3t-18c868-ac ... There is absolutely no power to the stereo, the one fuse I found in the owners manual that says its for the stereo is still good.
Why I have no power, or other places I should be looking. Also, need a pin out for the radio so I can apply power to it on my bench so I can see if it even powers up?
Then the next thing would be which wire in the harness in the dash that I unplugged is for power so I can test with a multi meter if its getting power? My fear is there is a bad power wire, but maybe I can run another power line to it from another source and get it to work.
Ford Audio/Video System :: 2007 F150 - Nav Not Working - Cannot Read The DVD
The navigation in my 2007 F-150 is acting up, saying it cannot read the DVD, and that it might be dirty, remove and clean, etc. etc.
Also, and perhaps an equally concerning problem is that it won't spit the DVD out. It will get so I can barely see the disc through the mouth of the system, but not enough to grab it. I'm going to try and grab the disc as delicately as I can with a small set of grooveless needle nose pliers, but haven't had a chance to try that yet.
It was doing this a while ago, but seemed to fix itself and hasn't acted up for I'd say 2 months now.
For those that have had this happen before, is it as simple as cleaning the disc, or is this a sign of a larger (possible system failure) problem?? Also I should mention that I still have the original map DVD in the truck, and I think I've taken it out once in the year and a half I've had the truck, and that was just in learning how it came out.

View 1 RepliesFord Audio/Video System :: 2008 F150 - Radio And Steering Wheel Control Harness?
I 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?
Ford Audio/Video System :: 1999 F350 - Radio / Speakers Not Working?
I 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 3 RepliesFord Audio/Video System :: Bluetooth Audio Automatically Plays Music
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.
Ford Audio/Video System :: 2006 F350 - Auxiliary Input / Screen Reads No AUX 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?
