Excellent vid... After buying a 2023 Maverick (way too much electronics crap for me) I decided to keep and spiff up my 1997 F150 (I bought new)... and after watching this vid, I feel confident that I could make this upgrade...

Another great video. I just picked up a head unit and would like to use this kit, but I have the wood trim intrument panel and want to keep that. I hope I can make the other metra kit work, but I've seen a lot of people having trouble with that one

@DrivingIntelligence 2 ай бұрын

If I recall correctly, I think I had used the other metric kit and didn’t like the way it worked so I returned it and got the more expensive kit.

Hey, quick question on the sub panel. You said you went and bought one from a wrecking yard. Why does that need to be replaced? The one in the truck can't just be trimmed like you did? Or is the one you purchased from the wrecking yard different from the original one?

@DrivingIntelligence 7 ай бұрын

Actually, that’s a really good question that I didn’t think of until you just asked. No need to buy a new one if you have time to do the work on your truck. As I think back, I really bought it to make sure I didn’t screw up something that I couldn’t reverse or fix.

@@DrivingIntelligence Has the tire pressure monitoring addon been doing okay for you? Do you think it's worth the purchase? I know in the video it was crossed out with their OBD2 Dongle, but was just curious on your feedback.

Quick question about grinding the subframe to fit the unit: I don’t have the Atoto so I’m not sure how much to grind off of the top, and I have the manual temp control so I’m not sure if any adjustments need to be made. How did you determine how much to grind the frame to fit the unit? What did you use to cut it? Thanks and great video.

@DrivingIntelligence 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for your comment and question. I used my ATOTO as a guide to trim the upper part of the subframe. I used a dremmel with a cutting disc.

@DrivingIntelligence 2 ай бұрын

That’s a good question, I got a used one because I didn’t want to take a chance destroying the original unit. This way I was able to mock up the cutting I had to do on the subframe on my workbench before tearing the dash apart.

Why go and grab a spare piece of subdash rather than just pulling the one you got out of your vehicle and grinding it out on your bench?

@DrivingIntelligence 2 ай бұрын

It’s a good question, two reasons for me, in case I trash it I have a spare, and this prevents having the truck down for a longer period of time.

@skipstevson9457 2 ай бұрын

Did you attach the plastic Metra side pieces to the trim piece you cut at the top? You didn't really show attachment points to the truck. Sorry, I didn't purchase the Metra kit DP5859, I purchased the Metra kit DP 5818 which has the side pieces and 2 trim pieces. I was just wondering the reason for the plastic side pieces. Looks like in the picture there some ears that attach to those side pieces that attach to truck frame. Thanks.
