Ford Audio/Video System :: Water In Antenna Rusting Out Connection?

This will be the second time that i have had to change my antenna, the portal where the ant. goes into the back of radio rusts out so bad that i get no reception. the first go round i had to use #9 klein pliers to remove the antenna not to mention that when i cut the cable in two for easier removal ( behind the glove box), water was literally dripping from where i cut. I checked out the mounting pedestal on the top of the fender and it doesn't seem to me that it could leak but I am thinking that that has got to be where the water is getting in. The moisture was so bad that the head too was loaded with moisture, rust and corrosion inside of it.

Ford Audio/Video System :: 2000 - CB Antenna Installed - Spot For Magnet Mount?

I just installed a CB antenna (Wilson 2000) on my truck to the truck bed rail behind the cab. I tuned the antenna and best I could get was 2.8. Wondering if there is a better spot other than going to magnet mount. Thought about going a foot or two back from the cab....

Ford Audio/Video System :: Code B1A8913 Loss Of SDARS Antenna (Open)

Lost Navigation/GPS & Sirius radio services this weekend. Notice at bottom of screen says antenna error. So I ran diagnostics test and found the following Navigation System DTC (diagnostic trouble code): "B1A8913 Loss of SDARS antenna (open)"

Looked this up and found:
DTC Description: GPS antenna open circuit
Fault Condition: GPS Comms error

Haven't been able to find a specific reference to this being a problem with anyone else with same vehicle. However similar description from others typically resulted in a complete module replacement.

Ford Audio/Video System :: 1977 F100 - FM Working Fine But AM Works Only By Jiggling Antenna

I have a 77 ford f100 I am restoring. I have two factory am/fm radios. I bench test both with antenna male plug all the way in, and the fm works fine on both radios. The only way to get am to work, is to slide the male antenna plug all the way out till it is just touching, then if I jiggle it, the radio plays.

Ford Audio/Video System :: 2006 - Flip Down Monitor Installation?

I have a 2006 F250 XLT Super Crew. I want to add an in dash double din DVD and run a flip down monitor from it for the back seat passengers. Now I can see an outline in the ceiling where the previous owner had one at one point and removed it prior to selling the truck.

I cant do headrest monitors due to the fixed headrest. When I look at the headliner there isn't much of a flat surface to mount to the head liner has two drop down pieces, one at the dome light and one 8" or so to the rear of the vehicle.

Installing a flip down monitor in this vehicle or one similar? if so how did you get the head liner to secure to the monitor and not leave a gap? I'm looking at a 14" Tview TFT monitor from Car ID.

Ford Audio/Video System :: 2016 F350 - Second Back Up Camera Installation?

I have a 2016 F-350 Lariat. I want to install a second backup camera (high mount) to see my fifth wheel hitch when hooking up. It will be located either near or in the third brake light. I really do not want to add another display or change the OEM display. My question; is there any way to add a second camera input the the OEM head unit? Or can I use the A/V inputs and disable the OEM Backup Camera when I want to use the high mount.

Ford 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?
