Awesome, glad it can help you out.

Ok so, first you need to re-pin the pink wire to positions #19 on the adapter harness. Once you have done that, the pink wire along with the ASWC-1 (or wichever adapter you are using) will need to be grounded (shasis). The brown wire of the adapter harness (pin #18) needs to be connected to the white/green wire of the ASWC-1. Here is the wiring diagram so it makes more sense: metradealer.com/files/aswc/ASWC-1_INST_253.pdf

You dont need an additonal ground wire since you will not be installing the steering wheel contol module. You can use butt connectors, its just how I do mine is all. Just make sure they are properly crimped.

All you will need is a phillips screw driver, panel removing tools, of course all the butt connectors and or soldering kit, wire cutters, utility knife, wire strippers, and drill. Did you watch my video of the speakers and radio installs?

The radio wouldnt cause an engine light, the battery light may be on because of low viltage from the battery. The battery light may cause the engine light. I would start tje car and run it for a little while to charge the battery. Then see if it turns botb lights off.

Thanks man, it should be the same process, and as long as you have the same type radio/dash then yes. Best way is to go to metra online, scosche, and enter your car info to get part numbers so you know they will work. If you need any help let me know.

Yes it is the exact same

Alright, then yes it will be the same.

Hahaha! Good eye my man.

If your oem radio is the same as this then you can also install a double din (7") radio or single din if you prefer. You will need a dash kit for either.

all the other steering wheel controls will work as they do, replacing your radio will not affect that. unless you have additional features from your car that are displayed or controled on the oem radio it wont be an issue not getting the steering wheel adapter.

Two main reasons, to avoid a ground loop (noise, static or interference) and some components require a chassis ground to function properly. Some vehicles, like my previous Nissan I had to ground the radio wire to chassis as the factory of the harness did not allow the unit to work properly.

you dont always need the steering wheel controls tho its nice to have when you are driving and not have to reach for volume up/down nor have to use your phone to track up/down

Well they are not incorrect, your Ford can fit a single (1) din radio which is the typical small radio. The double din (2 din) is what ford installed tho it's bigger that aftermarket radios. For you to install either radio you will need a dash kit, this allows for the install into your Ford. If you choose a single din radio then you would need to make sure the dash kit is for a single din - this is because the kit will include a pocket that will take the rest of the space below the radio. Here is an example, this other Ford I installed a single din.... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/it-XoqRlybPUlZs.html Or you can get a double din like in this video - you will still need a dash kit for a double din. As for the harness, all new radios have their own but yo make the install simple get an adapter harness like I did for this install. Hope this helps. If you need any other help email me at melvingbp@shaw.ca

@@esqu3l3to Thank you. I know nothing about installing radio in a car, so looking for advise in KZfaq. I chose 1-bin over 2-din because I want a detachable face unit. But a 2-din should "fit" better. I pick ones that are available in Best Buy because they offer installation. Armed with you info (that I will need dash kit), I called Best Buy. They told me I have to get the dash kit plus the harness beside the JVC unit (2-din) or Sony (1-din). I setup my appointment already. Thank you for the tips.

Ok, glad I could help you out 🤙

Right on, glad it helped you out

I did use the orange/white wire but does not work on this harness. You need to run that wire to either the headlight switch or even the hazard light switch above the radio. It's how ford wired their cars so no real dim wire is on the harness. I did not use the blue to blue for the antenna, I simply used the antenna adapter, if you do have a "power" antenna then you may need to use the blue wire. As for the radio turning off when you turn thr car off and remove the key, that's just how they are wired. To allow you to listen to the radio for about 10 min +/-. Then it shuts off or until you open your door. Best way around this if you really don't like that is to wire the ignition red wire to the fuse box where it kills power when you turn off the car.

omg same exact thing happened to mine

They will work only if you add a steering wheel adapter like the ASWD-1

You need an adapter. The ford vehicles use their own type of antenna. Like this as an example: www.ebay.com/itm/184090631259

@@esqu3l3to I picked up an adapter from the local auto parts store. Thank you for the input I appreciate it. And btw, great video it helped alot.

No worries, glad I can help.

Yes it should be the same, wiring may change depending on the model and audio you have but otherwise dash and removal should be the same

No it does not, just the base system.

Does yours?

Mime has Sony not sure about the am tho am trying get help with my 201q ford fuison

Should be the same yes

most new head units will have most of what you need. keep in mind of yours has a oem backup camera you will need a proper adapter harness for it to work

I used the one from the factory harness. Some fords or other vehicles do not have a 12v acc wire so you can always run a wire to a fused slot in the fuse box instead.

Sorry for the late reply, did you get it working?

Yeah I got it

Ok good, sorry I've been away and just got back.

@@willlankford3411 what was the issue and how did you fix it?

Yes, however, you need to install a steering wheel adapter along with the new radio for them to work.

Link to the adapter is in the description along all parts used.

It will, however, you will need a steering wheel control adapter for them to work. In this case I used the ASWC-1 which will auto program itself to the radio.

@@esqu3l3to i want to upgrade but having a problem with my displays going on and off

Your current radio shuts on and off?

@@esqu3l3to everything functions just the display blackouts.

Oh ok so its your oem radio that is not working properly. A new radio would work unless there are issues within your car wiring. But if everything works just your screen not working, then a new radio is what you need.

I believe my issue is that I did not connect the ACC wire to anything so it is not communicating with the radio that it is powered. Where would I connect the ACC wire?

Did you use an adapter harness? The acc is the red wire. If you are using the adapter harness you need to connect red to red, yellow to yellow, black to black.

@@esqu3l3to Sorry for not responding earlier. My responses somehow were not posted. I do not have an adapter harness. I was going to wire them directly to the wires themselves to the new harness. I have connected the wires to their appropriate matches with the battery to red/white, ground to black/blue, and the speakers to their corresponding wire colors. But I have not connected the 12V ACC wire to anything, I tried connecting it to the grey/violet wire but the radio did still not turn on. There are a couple wires left that I do not know what they are for: Yellow/Green, Grey/Violet, White/Blue, and Grey/Yellow. I might have to tap the 12V ACC wire into the cigarette lighter, but in a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid I believe the lighter is always on. And it needs to come on with ignition. I am still trying to find answers. Thanks for helping and your quick response.

I dont know the position of all the wires. However, it would be best to use a multimeter to determine which is your acc wire. Do not use the cigg lighter. I highly suggest getting an adapter harness, makes it so much easier and not having to splice into the oem harness unless you already know all the wiring clolors.

@@esqu3l3to Yes, that probably would have been the best. It turns out that a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid does not have an ACC wire, and uses CamBus to communicate with the radio. Also, the cigarette lighter is always on, so I have been told that the solution at this point is to fusetap a fuse that comes on with ignition and link that to the 12V ACC wire. Thanks for all your help. I'm surprised you even responded on a two year old video.

The oem harness will not have a remote wire. Did you test the red wire? Thats the wire that send power to the radio once the car is turned on or ignition is on. Also test your ground. Use a multimeter and test on the new radio harness pins first.

Esqu3l3to the red wire only turns the head unit on when I have it tapped into a fuse , otherwise I have no power

That's odd, there should be power to the red once you turn your key or start the car. In this case I would run a wire from your fuse box to the new radio red wire to get the radio working. I would also check the red from the main harness, could be cut somewhere. I would assume your old radio worked just fine right?

Esqu3l3to yes my old unit worked just fine , the problem is I can’t find a fuse under the dash that turns on and off with the car , I’ve tried every single one and the radio just stays on without the key in

There has to be at least one that's on ignition. If not check if the cigarette lighter, that should be on ignition and just use that. I dont have access to the fusion as its not mine otherwise I would go in to check.

That is the wire labeled "park brake" wire (green) on kenwoods. If you have a kenwood, all you do is ground the wire - just like I did.

Si claro te puedo ayudar. Te refieres al radio o que componente?

@@esqu3l3to buenos dias con esta instalación siguen funcionando los mandos del volante para subir y bajar volumen ..adelantar. Y atrasar estaciones de radio ??

No, necesitas el adaptador ASWC-1. No es dificil de instalarlo y lo puedes hacer al mismo tiempo.

@@esqu3l3to gracias por responder.. Donde se consigue ese adaptador?

Lo puedes conseguir en ebay o Amazon, sonic electronics, axxess online, en lugares de audio/video para carros pero normalmente cuestan mas.

It did power up the first time right just no sound? Check your fuse if it won't power on. You may have an amplified system which means you need to connect the blue/white for the amp.

like how many inches is the inside square capable of holding??? 7 inches fit???

Yes 7" - thats the standard size for double din. The actual screen size will be 6.95" or smaller depending on the unit and if it has a cd/DVD slot

sounds like you have your power wires wired incorrectly. the yellow wire (constant 12v) need to be connected to the 12v on the radio. the red wire (switched 12v) is what turns the radio on/off when you start or shut the car off. did you use an adapter harness? check those two wires and make sure they are connected to the right wire

No its not bad for the car, simply upgrading the radio. No es algo malo para el vehiculo. Es simplemente la instalacion de un mejor radio.

Nice! Let me know how it turns out👍
