My sport trac is acting weird where the radio and the whole dash will go out while its running and will randomly come on again. I took it to ford and they said it was the instrument cluster and its gonna cost $1000 what do yall think
Hey... I've been watching your videos. I just bought my son an extremely clean 03 sport trac. Checking out your videos on some future projects that I'm sure I'll be doing with him. I sure wish I got a nice truck like this when I was 17.
Love the vids man, your Sport Trac looks sick! Have an '05 myself and it's a great truck. Used your links to pick up the headunit and kit. Keep up the good work!
There is a tool inside install kits that you stick in the four holes on the front of the radio to release it without disassembling all the other stuff.
Hey bro I hate to keep commenting but I may have a lead. I just used my multimeter to test the DC. As I connected the radio piggy back to the factory harness I tested the factory harness end. It read 12 DC there. However at the bose radio head when I test the ground and power wires it reads -0 as the DC. Does that mean the radio or wire harness is bad?
Hi bro I have a questiomn, did you used the factory bass? I recently purches my Explorer but the previous owner told me that the bass wasnt connected due the 7inch new stereo could damage the factory bass, I dont know if you or someone here could tell me if its ok used the factory bass with these kind os stereo.
I just put this radio in my 2006 Ford Explorer and I love it but for some strange reason when I turn off the car the radio goes off. It seems like it doesn't have constant power. Any suggestions 🤔.
Just got an 03, and plan to use some of your AWESOME upgrades. Thanks for the videos! Can you stream video from phone to radio display with this BOSS model??
I followed your video and now the radio won't turn on at all. I soldered the wires together but before that the radio would briefly illuminate. Not sure if it's the wiring or solder I messed up. All fuses are good
@@munnday86 right, so I have the red, yellow, black and blue/white connected. Imma try redoing the soder since it's still not working. Do you think I'd need new harnesses?
Nice. Have you taken that stupid chime out of your truck yet? My key in ignition warning was always going off, even when the key wasn't in there and driving only 10' before the seatbelt reminder was going off was annoying too. It was behind the gauges and I had to take the gauge cluster out to get to it but at the same time I fixed the broken gear indicator too. It wasnt a tough job, I went in there blind but getting rid of that annoying seat belt/ignition chime was that best "upgrade" on my truck. Lmao
Hey man I have a second wiring harness in the back of my radio, how do I wire it into an aftermarket radio? Is this the harness that runs my compass? Any help would be great man thanks!
I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac that died, I've replaced battery, alternator,ckp sensor, rear timing chain tensioner, coil pack and downstream 02 sensor but still unable to get it to fire up, it'll turn over but not start. Please help me figure this out!!!
My truck is a little different than this one and has the theft blinky light, will taking the old radio out and putting a new one in cause the truck to not work because of the anti theft? I don't know much about trucks if you can't tell😂

Great video man... About to do an install on my 02. (Already ran wiring for backup camera last night... Perfect grommet for it inside rear driver side door below the seatbelt) I was wondering if you had any issues with Android auto and the "emergency brake" requirement with this install?
Thank you for the compliment I believe with the emergency brake wire you can hook up to a constant 12v source and not have to worry about the e brake switch.
It's a great radio for the price... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FC3SPPG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=munnday86-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01FC3SPPG&linkId=b872766753187a33c7a0c0578f7a205f
I'd do the same on my OEM Pioneer unit in my 2003 Sport Trac Adrenalin, but all the LEDs in the unit have gone dark. They will randomly come on for a few seconds every few months. Radio still works fine, but it's time for it to go.
I’m sick of how much audio I lost through the Bluetooth radio cigarette lighter thing I had touch screen is also super cool to see in your car on a daily basis
Your videos are literally gold. Consistently the best Sport Trac content
Just seen this video. Something that would make the radio removal easier, is to get a Ford radio removal tool. Won't need to remove the bezel at all.
The screws under the radio bezel are 7mm
Keep the videos coming, I’m working on my sport trac too
Im rolling that good bean footage..lol
What upgrade have you been doing

@@justinannas958 in that case I would go to a junkyard or ebay buy another instrument cluster and install it to see if it fixes the problem
@@munnday86 i didnt even think about that. Thanks man
Now you've gone and made me want a Sport Trac! Nice truck!
They are cool trucks. Not to much to complain abaout.

Does the bluetoothing from the phone also display navigation (GPS) on the monitor?

There is a tool inside install kits that you stick in the four holes on the front of the radio to release it without disassembling all the other stuff.
Will this radio also display the navigation (GPS) from the mobile phone?
Buen video excelente trabajo saludos desde colombia 🇨🇴 en la buena 🤙
Did you have the audiophile sound with the subwoofer and amp behind rear seat? How would that sub and amp connect to this radio?
I have a 2002 spot trac. If you upgrade the sound system will the sound Jack's for the back seat still work?
Will the 6.2 inch radio work for the 2005 sport trac xlt???
What size tires are those and where did you get and what are the rims
Do I have to solder the wires together or would crimping them together work the same
Either way will work. But soder will work the best.
I've installed houndreds of radios, butt connectors are completely fine. Although solder is the best way to do it
This radio didn't blow any fuses right?
Hey bro I hate to keep commenting but I may have a lead. I just used my multimeter to test the DC. As I connected the radio piggy back to the factory harness I tested the factory harness end. It read 12 DC there. However at the bose radio head when I test the ground and power wires it reads -0 as the DC. Does that mean the radio or wire harness is bad?
How is it after 2 years? Looking for some good ones for myself !
Still working good. I use it everyday to work and back. Along with my sub under the back seat. No issues.
Hi bro I have a questiomn, did you used the factory bass?
I recently purches my Explorer but the previous owner told me that the bass wasnt connected due the 7inch new stereo could damage the factory bass, I dont know if you or someone here could tell me if its ok used the factory bass with these kind os stereo.
How did you pull the rear window button/knob?
Got my upgrade today.... looking niiice!!! Thanks for the video

Pull the valve covers off and make sure the engine didnt jump timing.
Im wondering if I can do all that with engine still in the truck
Have you tried calling using the radio?
I want to put a 7inch in mine is it possible?
The radio in my sport trac is not working. How do I know if it's the radio or the wires? Just bought the truck and it was not working to begin with.
Lol same iv been trying to figure it out too
What did we do before the dremel? I love mine
Before the dremel would have been a file or a pair of sharp snips...
Should wrap that center dash control panel in kevlar look, there are lots of kevlar effects, even white? Looking forward to vids.
Yes already have something in the works
Great Instal!
Loved your videos, thanks for the help
Your welcome. If you need anything just ask.
I have a 03 sport trac. Anyone know how I can get a topper for it. Beings it's a 4 ft bed. ??
Do you buy the same wire adapter if you have an Adrenaline with sub already?
Not sure about adrenaline trim level
Wow i bought the same radio for my explorer n it looks great..thanks

To each their own, but I still use the factory Cassette radio in my '05 Sport Trac. I'm not too keen on all these newfangled technologies.

$5 radio tool for Ford will remove the radio in 10 secs.
That radio is trash, and why wouldn't you connect the microphone when you was installing the deck? Now you have to take it back out lol
I have had no issue with this radio sure you can spend $500 on a high end radio. And no didnt need to hook up the microphone, work great without one..
