Love the video, very informational. Resolved a lot of my whims I had with my newly purchased 2017 FE IP.

Great timing on starting this channel just bought a 2016 black and white FPIU (soon getting a new complete paint job) still basically duty ready minus lights still full dual partition molded rear seats and full (now functional door panels) window bars… Immaculate condition and 85k miles full CarFax and service records (maintenance schedule carried out like clockwork) and loving it so far considering coming from a 2018 F350 Dually making the regret and sellers remorse a little less painful 😂 looking forward to binge watching your content subbed and looking forward to seeing more!! 💯👍🏻

Can you perhaps make a cubby for the shifter hole that utilizes the screws from the bottom so that you could still have chrome trim??

Hi I love your console install video I wish I could do my own 😢 I just bought a 2016 Ford FHP INTERCEPTOR And it needs a console I can’t do what you did are there any places that you can recommend professional that I can go to for this type of install? PLEASE HELP! Thanks and keep the videos coming🎉

I'm doing the same build! Although I put a 2019 center console in a 2014 and goddamn it's a headache! But this video is very very helpful thank you! I also installed a sync 3.4 radio module.. Its a hack job rn but it functions for sound and touch. I wanted to use the 2018-2019 dash kit however the radio/hvac unit speaks a different language as far as I'm aware for can bus and well I lost all power to hvac when I had it hooked up and that's a no go in Texas during summer so I had to resort back. I will be a customer of those pockets you make for the center console! Badass

@depolicify Жыл бұрын

Yeah I need to get something figured out on my radio. It is the non-sync version and doesn't even have an aux-in port. I found some info on how to add it in so I will see about making a video on it. I really dislike the look of the Metra kit and aftermarket temp controls, also you'd be paying around $600-800 all in.

Hey, this might sound stupid. I want to put a column shifter in my Ford Flex EcoBoost. Do you think this is a reasonable thing to attempt? I think so given how much the Flex shares with the Taurus and Explorer. Assuming the shift cables are right length to reach the column, I think I’d just need to get the parts and hook it up. Only thing I’m worried about is getting Sport mode to work.

How to wire the stock cigarette lighters in the console (I saw the power-ground from the dash, but which plug/wire to pick from the console)?

@depolicify Жыл бұрын

You have to find the cigarette lighter outlet, see what color wires are going into it, then find those wires at the other end of the harness then splice them into ignition power and ground

Thank you for the video. So I found a few center consoles at different price points for my 2017 Ford Police interceptor. When I went pay and pick the item up the salvage yard told me the 2017 console I chose from a different trim was not compatible. That only a base model explorer would fit. Is this true?

@depolicify 6 ай бұрын

No, they are going off of the interchange data which will not show the console as being compatible. Any console from an 11-19 explorer will work just fine.

I pretty much show it in the video. The OEM plug is not present on the PIU so unless you are trying it install extra accessories you don't need to wire up anything.
