What did you do with the black/ light green
@@jaleeljohnson7771u shove it in anus for a ground
I know the video is old but thanks for the help man. It's always nice going into a new thing with some knowledge so you don't break something
I haven't used or seen the hanger trick in at least 15 years! Keep up the informative videos man. I miss how easy it used to be to change out a head unit.
The bezel is held on by 2 7mm screws. Pulling that off (a 30 second job) gives you access to both sides of the hole. Working from both sides (and adding a little tape) you can get a MUCH more secure fit then you can just trying to snap everything into place from the front . With the bezel off, you also don't need the removal tool. Just squeeze the tabs.

Yes 🎉
Tengo 8 orificios se requieren 4 herramientas y no puedo
The coat hangers should go into the holes exactly 1.25 inches deep from the faceplate (on a 2003 ranger). I put a mark on the coat hanger wire to gauge the depth. It's a little tricky for sure with a CD player because there is nothing to hold onto to pull the radio out. I measured the 1.25 depth after getting the radio out, finally.
That’s crazy, my ranger has the exact same radio and mic setup. I got a kenwood double din touch screen to replace it with apple CarPlay just gotta figure out trimming the inside to fit a full double din
You need to get rid of 1998 2012 and put 1995 2011 right now
Oh no you di'int! Mr. Beast, I don't know how you do it, but you always manage to inform the crap out of me (quite literally).
Having a lot of trouble because my truck harness has different colors then the harness for my new stereo so it’s no as simple as matching the colors because there all different
Can I switch the position of the radio and the small extra compartment in the kit? I want the radio to be on bottom and the pocket on top.
Out of curiosity the old radio had those holes for the hanger to go it what if you wanted to change the radio out again in the future I don’t see those holes for hanger to fit
help im switching my stereo and adding an amp, i dont have any power to my new deck
I noticed that when I take the face off the radio theirs red blinking light, well it kill my battery?
what color is the memory wire in the dash light for the
Awesome Job, glad this video is here

How do you remove this type of adapter kit to add another din 2 Bluetooth receiver?
I don't need the CD player, would your method, wiring and dash kit work with a Pionneer MVH-S310BT ?
What is the part number you used for the second wiring adapter? The white one that connects to the original adaptor.
How difficult would it be to install a 2007 Lincoln MKZ navigation radio into a 2005 Ranger pickup , the Ranger has a double din in it , any help would be greatly appreciated.
you would have to cut the factory harness, i wouldn't when radios with navigation can be had for 200$. best buy even offers free install most of the time if you dont want to deal with it
Does the Pioneer DEH-S4010BT come with the stereo can?
What do I do if my ranger does have the amplifier? I have a 2010 ranger xlt, and plan on doing exactly what u did but idk if I have a factory amplifier or not
I am in the exact situation also. I’m just as confused as you
What did you do with the black and white striped wire? On the harness?
How come you started with 2 harnesses and then ended with one ? Do you need the second one?
Second harness is only needed if you have the factory subwoofer. IF not, no secondary harness needed.
@@ProvoBeastAudio So they put the plug and wires in the truck even if its not equipped with a factory amp/speakers?
Good video. Thanks!
Thank you!
I’m kind of a noob when it comes to stereo wiring but I am quite handy. Installing a new radio in my 09 ranger. Question: how come at first u had 2 harnesses connecting into your stock radio. But then someone turned into 1 ? 2:91 - I see 2, then 3:18 I see 1?
I wonder the same thing...gonna hook it up this weekend...if the single harness wont work, I'll hardwire it in..lol
The stock radio has a second connection, I dont remember for what exactly but the second connection isnt needed with the aftermarket radios
Necesito escuchar todos los comentarios en español lo
This will also work for the 98-04 explorer
and 01-07 escape
Do I have to solder those wires? I don't have a soldering tool but could I just splice the wires, throw on some wire caps, and just wrap it all up in electrical tape?
Please don't use home electrical wire caps, if you don't have a soldering iron, use butt connectors or crimp caps which can be picked up at any auto parts store.
@@ProvoBeastAudiowhy not
Vibration and excessive heat case those wire caps to loosen or fall off, creating shorts and potential fires in the vehicle. Crimp caps are only a few bucks. Do it right.@@madschrono9891
I’m trying to put a radio just like this in my 09 ranger but I can’t figure out the dash kit. Won’t fit. I bought the correct one. Says for ford ranger 99 to 11
What kit did you buy?
My factory stereo in my 98 Ranger was just AM?FM with no cassette or cd. In the back it had the antenna plug, 1 wire harness plug and two wires hard wired into the back of the radio. The installation went fine and the new radio works like it should but now when the truck is keyed in accessory or run the dash lights and parking lights are constantly on. Is there something I need to do with the two wires that were hard wired to the factory radio to get my parking lights and dash lights back to normal?
I just bought one same funky radio did you figure out the wiring
@@lawnmowerman4040 Yes, I did but I can't seem to remember what it was...seems like there was an orange wire I had to splice in to the harness as well that had to do with the ignition switch. I'll try to remember what it was I did.
Can I connet my phone with it to play custom music
Yes
Very helpfully
Anybody know which wire is the constant / memory wire?
Yellow
Is this the same with the 2012 radios?
I have a 96 Mazda b2300, would that exact stereo you installed work on my truck ?
It’s the same for pretty much any car or truck, as long as you get the wiring right and it fits, your all good
hi I recently purchased a 2007 ford ranger and wanted to upgrade the stereo unit I purchased a Kenwood kmm-bt332u ordered but there's one cable color orange that doesn't come with the stereo connector is name as a illumination/dash light in the metra kit do you have any idea? or I need to buy a different unit?
It's just a illumination / dimmer wire which will dim the radio when the headlights are on. Should work fine with your Kenwood. If your radio doesn't have that wire, just cap it off, it wont be used.
How much was everything?
What do I do about my radio staying on after I turn the truck off I have a 93 Ford Ranger
Sounds like a wiring issue. Your red accessory wire needs to be connected to an accessory / ignition source to turn on and off with the truck.
Are you in Utah
I need help how do I get it out after installing it I want to wire my subs in but have no clue how to get it out
Great question! I'm have the same issue. Can anyone help, or point me to where I can find help? Thans.
What was the other plug in the back of the radio
Often it's wired for a factory AUX input, steering wheel volume controls, factory amplifier, or other misc connections the radio needs from the vehicle (that the new radio doesn't require).
Whats the Wire Harness Aftermarket Stereo Connector for ford ranger 05 edge??
amzn.to/3gFi9lc
Where did you buy that wiring harness from?
Amazon!
Will a kenwood 6906s fit in a 2011 ford ranger?
Yes with the correct dash kit. Usually the Metra 95-5817 is the one required.
Yeah this is old but I want to do this and I’m
Not understand I thought I got the right harness but I didn’t and it Doesn’t fit together
Have one for your stereo and one that fits the factory. They clip together.
@@titan5709 hey sorry I’m now getting to you. I actually got it working and it fits thx!
@JuJu oh yeah it works really well it’s been in my truck for a while now lol
what happened between 7:38 and 7:42? lol
Will this work on a 1999 ford ranger?
Hey man did you ever figure this out lol Bc I got a 99 too
Superboy Prime no I did not figure it out but i went ahead and installed mine anyway
HockeyGod05 no issues?
@@peytoncrosby5892 It should work as I have a 1998 ranger and my radio has the holes for removing the unit. I just went ahead and bought the ones from a store though for 4 bucks as I don't have any wire coat hangers, lol.
Quit watching when he said two coat hangers. One will do.
Having a lot of trouble because my truck harness has different colors then the harness for my new stereo so it’s no as simple as matching the colors because there all different
Did you cut the factory harness plug? OEM wiring does follow aftermarket coloring.
