Note about Crux SWRFD-60L harness adapter. If you have "Sync" (look for that emblem on your center console) the steering wheel buttons will not function even with this harness. This info is stated in the installation guide and I called Crux and confirmed I could have just used a basic harness like Metra 70-5520

@@edwincordero8 No. My car had 2 connections in the dash. The Metra connected the radio to the big connector. The smaller connector must be just steering wheel controls which is what the Crux connected to

Does the system also support controls for the DVD Player because I have everything it's a limited edition subwoofer and DVD player for the rear passenger does this system support all of that?

@ProvoBeastAudio Жыл бұрын

The Pac RP4-FD11 retains audio for the rear seat entertainment (RSE) package but your radio needs some sort of audio input on the rear of the head unit. The Pac instructions outline it here: catalog.pac-audio.com/index.php?controller=attachment&id_attachment=1519

@Provo Beast Audio Installation, if i want to upgrade my speakers and perhaps add a sub and steering wheel audio control should i get the upgraded harness ahead of time? Also do you have a guide for the steering wheel controller? 2007 ford explorer sport trac.

@ProvoBeastAudio 7 ай бұрын

Are you asking if you can add the steering wheel control buttons on the steering wheel later if your vehicle wasn't equipped with them previously?

@mr.silver5476 7 ай бұрын

@@ProvoBeastAudio That's one of the questions yes. The wheel has the cruise control on the left and nothing on the right. The other question was should i spring for the upgraded harness if i wanted to install both a steering wheel control and a sub later on.

@ProvoBeastAudio 7 ай бұрын

No, you buy the harness to the options equipped from factory in your vehicle. Adding SWC will require you to also replace and install a new clock spring, wiring etc. If adding a sub, no need to buy a premium harness as the radio will provide connections to a sub anyways. Sure, you can use the Pac harness, but you won't use most of the features it provides. @@mr.silver5476

Does this radio automatically turn off when u turn off the car to? Or is there something else needed for that? With my 2008 ford explorer my default radio is automatic but when i install different radios it ends up killing my battery even with the car off and nothing else plugged in.

Sounds like you have the factory amplifier and it's not turning on. Depending on what harness you used to install the radio, be sure to hook up the remote turn on wire.
