Now THIS is how you demonstrate a process! No pointless small talk to the camera or over-explanation. Just concise and to the point. Well done!
@bigguy21444 жыл бұрын
Very well explained and demonstrated, especially one handed. The one thing I would have liked to have seen done in addition is actually disconnecting the radio harness so I could see what it looks like on the inside. Like everything else, Ford just can't seem to standardize the way that it does things. Nice job though. Definitely earned the "like" for this one.

Many thanks to this gentleman for posting this very helpful video. I have two suggestions I would advise purchasing a panel removal kit, which comprises a number of different plastic tools which are far less likely to do damage than a screwdriver and are not expensive. The second suggestion is that you make sure the parking brake is applied before moving the lever out of park. His was already on, but most of us never use it in the normal course. Have a wonderful day folks!

Damn! This is way more of a pain in the ass then it was when I installed the stereos on all three of my crown vics. I was going to install a new one on my mom's Focus, but after this, I'm highly reconsidering. She can deal with her cd player and lack of blue tooth capabilities. Props to you for having the patience!

I just upgraded my stereo and learned the hard way that the Ford sync stereo doesn't have a positive ground point or a positive power point, I ran a fuse jumper to the fuse box and taped into the ignition fuse to get the sound to work, the speakers were super easy to upgrade, and to run a main power wire to the Amp I drilled through where the Clutch pedal would be in a manual fed everything through and sealed it with silicone and now I have a trunk Rattling stereo lol next I'm going to have to Run some sound insulator so there's not as many rattles . I'm running 2 - 10" Skar Audio DDX-10 D4's in a vented box, pushed by an Audiobahn A3201T Amp tuned for 4ohms , I have 6x8" Jbl concert series 8621f door speakers and Jbl club 3412t custom door tweeters on an electronic crossover. I also did custom cutouts in the rear deck with 6x8" Jbl concert series 8621f speakers and the system sounds amazing. Ill have to make a video somewhat like this one if anyone is interested in going indepth with a system in these cars .

@johnf89915 жыл бұрын
@@MrMetalguy7 Hi, I will try and explain what I did. Just to verify I to anyone reading I am talking about the central column from right below the radio to the cup holder at back between the seats. To remove the center column you open the center arm rest, pull the silver colored plastic up from the inside of the arm rest forward (held by snaps), which can come off over the shifter and emergency brake (the black piece with faux leather can be removed from front with snaps but is fragile, can use a spudger to help). If you can spin and pull that long silver platic piece off then the center is held by the plastic anchors and bolts at front and back. Also remove the 4 screws holding the arm rest on to separate the back cup holder. When those are removed the whole central console comes right out! I replaced mine with one with ambient lighting (punch outs, wiring and lenses factory placed in another center console with a module under dual cup holder) and all I had to do was plug it in and add the ambient lighting button lower right dash (just popped out plastic with flat head screwdriver, then when revealed pressed plastic locks snaps up and pulled forward). I did all this without removing the radio dash. Now to remove the radio (my cd player was jammed by previous owner forcing 3 CDs in lol) you have to move (or at least peel / pull) lower front center column plastic out to get to the bottom bolts holding the dash radio bottom in). 2 bolts need to be removed behind central vent (place spudger at top and lightly pull downward and out to remove the plastic clips which moves out both vents) and you will need an extension or sized socket tool to reach them. Then you have to remove two screws / bolts above cluster, pop the right side out to reveal the edge of center console radio dash, place spudger or flat head under plastic front right passenger dash to pop it out at left side to reveal center console radio dash, then you can pop the center console radio dash clips out. It is very heavy so be ginger in finding how to unlatch the radio and ac harness plugs behind the central dash. The radio head unit is screwed onto the inside of the central dash which can be removed by if I recall 4 small star key screws. Easier said than done, but it can be done. I hope all this helps!
