Ford Audio/Video System :: 2001 Expedition - Adding Steering Wheel Controls?
I really would like to add steering wheel controls on my 2001 expedition. I only have cruise controls on there now, and don't want to add that little stick on remote thing... Anyway to possibly make dual use of the cruise control buttons already in place? All I really care about are volume controls anyway.

The factory stereo in my Elantra 2015 sedan does not have bluetooth and the steering wheel does not have the audio controls on the left side. I want to replace the factory stereo with a bluetooth stereo and add audio controls to the steering wheel. If I get the same audio controls that are on Elantras with bluetooth will they work? Is the wiring or wiring harness present for the audio controls? Would the car computer have to be reprogrammed?

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?

Looking to upgrade it with an AUX input (from an iPhone), and with an integrated Sirius radio.

View 1 RepliesFord 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.

I 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.
