Great video man and my big connecter that plugs into the ford had a blue and white wire on it that yours did not have I just shrink wrapped the end like you did to the blue and orange wires and it works so hopefully that doesn’t mess anything up lol
Great video. Was able to get exact radio installed into 2007 Escape but the blacket bracket doesn’t want to full snap in. The bottom 2 sides dont want to snap.
THANK YOU!!! My 2006 Escape Hybrid the radio works but the CD player does not. It already ate one of my CDs and I can't get it to eject. I'd like to upgrade to something with bluetooth at least like I had in my previous car. I will be looking through your links as soon as I confirm if I have the sub woofer in the trunk or not.
Install is complete! Thank you for the links. The wiring harness for the non sub system and the dash insert fit perfectly. I ended up going with a Pyle system that has a flip out screen.
@@The-Grateful-Hippie which Pyle model you got? And the dash plate, etc. When ordering through crutchfied, there's a note stating negative wire needing a relay for positive wiring. Not sure what that means. Is there a harness for plug and play, or you have to tap it yourself? Ty ty ty.
@@chiwong1316 I left a link this morning but looks like my comment is gone. Its the PLTS78DUB single din with a screen that slides out. Wiring was simple. Get the harness for the escape and match the colors up to the harness in the box with the stereo. I got a pack of heat shrink sodder connectors that sodder and seal in one step. My truck does not have the sub woofer in the back so I don't need a power reducer.
I have a Mariner with the factory sub and amp. Crutchfield keeps warning me that I either need to replace my speakers or replace my amp if I want to use any kind of aftermarket radio. Did you have to do that with this install?
So how did the back speaker sound after the install? And over all installing the new unit did it improve the sound quality? Asking because I'm about doing the same thing. Thinking about replacing the speakers later on. The sound before right now isn't that bad. Only replacing because the display brunt out. Any reply back would be a big help!!
Tried the pins on my 2007 escape, no click, no catch and no movement at all. Clearly theres some missing info here that’s implied but not said which is really frustrating.
I had an issue with it and it's not as easy as the video suggest especially the first time you're taking it out it can get a little stuck but you need to make and then like a pair of tongs either squeezed together or spread apart I can't remember to release the clips and then it can be pulled out
Just bought an 06 hybrid with an aftermarket stereo but whoever installed didn't use a chassis. Any tips to get the radio out so I can put a chassis in? It's double din
I need your help I purchased the AFDI-5V but the problem I'm having is that it came with the cable one blue and white, the second cable is black, and the third cable is red and blue. Now my aftermarket radio does not have blue and white cable or the red and blue cable. What should I do since my aftermarket radio only has solid color 1yellow, 1black, 1red, 1green,1white, 1gray, and 1purple and 1 orange. The remainder cable 1black and gray, 1black and white, and 1black and purple. Can you help me to what should I connect the AFDI-5V FORD 5V STEP DOWN?
i did not have the sub from the factory but i have bought one and am going to add it. Is there any kits that will help me or do i need the factory harness. Thank you, Scott
I have a 2005 Escape with the stock sub. I got an Alpine UTE-73BT everything went well until I put the radio in. It is in but nothing caught the radio where is secured. It looks good but you can pull it out anytime with ease. Do I need the iso mounting brackets?
So I watched another video. Dude put the radio on the bottom and the pocket up top. Here in clicked right in. Idk? He said that’s how it goes. Maybe we had the metal can upside down? 😅
Did you have problems with central locking and interior lights not working? I just did the same but it seems the interior lights have a feed in the original radio plug and I no longer have power to interior lights or central locking
Now I own a 2004 ford escape xlt without the factory sub and I got this exact radio for my birthday but unfortunately the factory style harness was not found and I need to order one. What should I order?
Not necessarily, and only an option if you have the factory sub. Base trim, not needed at all. This only prevents a POP noise in the factory sub. If you don't care, then it's not needed.
Parts used linked in the description of the video!
Sup brother the rca output of the headunit is a bass output or a mid output
@@sounddoctoraloi7837 Bass output.
Thank you for the wiring info as it was a huge help and great job on the video.
Exelente video no entiendo el inglés pero por sus pasos uno se puede guiar muy bien. Exelente 👍👍👍

Might try some stronger hanger wire for this, thank you!

So did you need an antenna adapter and what did you hook the illumination light to?
Nice Job, simple and easy directions

The best video , Thansk mate. Keep going!!
Which clips on the metal sleeve did you have to bend to keep the unit in place? You mentioned having to do it but didnt show where.
So how did the back speaker sound after the install?
And over all installing the new unit did it improve the sound quality?

Nope, it's very simple, just try it again. 😎👍👍

Okay, what if the radio keys don't work? I've tried clothes hangers and bought the actual tool and it won't come out
I experienced this problem today, I solved it by wiggling them around real hard until they sank into the clips, the clips get real tight sometimes
I just got done muscling it out with flat head screw drivers and breaking the 4 clips that hold it in place
i did not have the sub from the factory but i have bought one and am going to add it. Is there any kits that will help me or do i need the factory harness.
Thank you,
Scott
forget about it, i figured it out
I have a 2005 Escape with the stock sub. I got an Alpine UTE-73BT everything went well until I put the radio in. It is in but nothing caught the radio where is secured. It looks good but you can pull it out anytime with ease. Do I need the iso mounting brackets?
sounds like you've installed the metal can for the radio incorrectly. Hard to know without seeing your install, sorry.
So I watched another video. Dude put the radio on the bottom and the pocket up top. Here in clicked right in. Idk? He said that’s how it goes. Maybe we had the metal can upside down? 😅
Did you have problems with central locking and interior lights not working? I just did the same but it seems the interior lights have a feed in the original radio plug and I no longer have power to interior lights or central locking
No issue at all. Sounds like you may have blown a fuse. Try reinstalling the original radio to see if that fixes the issue.
Now I own a 2004 ford escape xlt without the factory sub and I got this exact radio for my birthday but unfortunately the factory style harness was not found and I need to order one. What should I order?
I got the same problem I can't find a wire harness with the rem wire to plug into my sub I been trying to figure this out for 3 days now
Can you install aftermarket subwoofers to that radio
What color does the blue/red wire connect to
My stereo isn’t fitting seems like the pieces inside won’t let it go through
I got a stereo installed in a 2006 Ford escape but they didn't connect my subwoofer how can I fix that
Pull the radio out, install the correct harness and parts we have linked in the description
Do you have to have the voltage converter?
Not necessarily, and only an option if you have the factory sub. Base trim, not needed at all. This only prevents a POP noise in the factory sub. If you don't care, then it's not needed.
Pioneer is good
OK how do you take out the pioneer radio
With the stereo keys provided by the radio.
