Great video guys ... i didn't want a upgrade or even a replacement in my ranger until now lol I just starting watching by accident but you kept me watching all 45 mins. Great explanations of every step. Learnt a few new things about wiring and got to see behind my dash without lifting a tool, Cheers. Keep up the good work
For a while I was nervous about the plain bulked space of the interior as this is my dream car, however it's given me a bit more hope than ever! I just kept reminding myself that it is a Ute that's based for Worksites and Practicality not Sedan based stuff. None the less great video!
(Just FYI)You forgot to mention the 2 small panels that need to be removed before pulling that middle panel. These are on each side of the climate controls down low. This actually sit on top of that panel you pulled.
Great video guys. Thanks for your awesome tutorial. hopefully you'll be able to put one together for the previous model ranger soon px1. nice work boys!
Thanks for the great video. very nice. Is there a replacement upgrade for the factory unit in the 2017 Ford Ranger XL. the unit that has no cd or colour display. I want to replace mine even if I dont get a cd player. Thanks again.
J M really hard to find this info. Haven’t found a clear solution for upgrading the head unit in the US market. Seems like it’s possible but I’m thinking we might lose the front and rear sensor option which would be a no go
Super Nice step by step tutorial. The video doesn't makes you dizzy. Will the kenwood stereo (can you state the kenwood model) fit the 2016 ford everest (same dashboard with the one you replaced). By the way, can you also make a tutorial video for honda civic fc 10th gen on tesla android stereo. Thanks a lot.
Great vid. Thanks. Just wondering if there was any reason you opted to mount the new mic on the screen as apposed to in the factory location of the original mic?
I understand the need in using the new mic. Its just the location it was placed I was curious about. Is the new mic to big to go in the original location?
I just purchased one of these kits. Pretty awesome so far but I'm trying to get access to the remote power out so I can install my amps but my kit came pre done with my kenwood unit. So the blue remote wire is already hooked in. With tag removed im unsure if I can just splice into it for my remote power.
Hi Mate, i have seen a video on TH-cam about 3years ago of 4”-8” factory sync 3 upgrade conversion by 4D Tech. They not responding to emails or txt. Can I purchase similar usb cord that plugs into the back of the sync 3 stereo and go down to the bottom plug into the dual usb port from you if you sell one. I also don’t have the dual usb port. Would you have that for sale too?i like your removal and installation but I don’t have a kenwood stereo. I bought a sync3 stereo from another person. Can you help please. Thanks.
Did you have to make any changes to the CD player unit for this to work? If so could you please elaborate, I would like to order the DIY kit but not sure what to do with the CD player unit? I have a 2020 XLS Ranger.
Have you done a ranger with higher end speakers ie. hertz mille pro or audison speakers? Sound deadening etc. if so how was the sound quality? Great video by the way. Very professional.
Looks good and all but Where you insert your CD in the old place with the controls pisses me off, Is useless but is there.. Would look neater if they did a facica plate for the bottom with it deleted
is there a decent upgrade for the factory 7inch? or not worth it? i just hate the blue tooth and the default function to radio, plus blue tooth is on the 2nd page, and just really crap overall (for how much they claim its worth)
How do you handle knock back claims from Ford when something goes wrong in the car and they blame the customer for tampering with the entire system in the car ?
Had an alpine unit fitted into same spec Ute. How did you overcome Fords annoying power saving feature of turning the unit off after 30 seconds on accessories? And strangely turns back on for another 30 seconds or so if you press brakes or central locking. Drives you nuts if just waiting in car for a while listening to radio.

This is singlehandedly the most ingenious thing I've ever seen done with the ranger. Kept all the factory functionalities as well. Good job.

This was the best explained video I’ve ever watched! Good work brother legend

Ever had the hazard light switch not work after this?
Great video guys. Thanks for your awesome tutorial. hopefully you'll be able to put one together for the previous model ranger soon px1. nice work boys!
In process mate!
th-cam.com/video/_N8Plf-OE_k/w-d-xo.html
great vid, super clear, not too long. great work!
Great video, great installation, great all-round job. Wish there are more professionals like this out there
Thank you!
I am just checking if you do any video of the 2023 Ford Ranger wildtrak let me know okay
Thanks for the great video. very nice. Is there a replacement upgrade for the factory unit in the 2017 Ford Ranger XL. the unit that has no cd or colour display. I want to replace mine even if I dont get a cd player.
Thanks again.
I would like to purchase that kenwood set
Hey mate! Does the Ranger require a remote antenna connection as well as the black antenna plug?
Do you need to install the microphone up the side and have it on the front window or can it be hidden?
Great vid, Any recommendations for a current unit to fit px2 with dual camera inputs? 2022
What happened to the parking sensors and the reverse guidelines?
Hey, great video. Is this possible install possible for a 2019 Ford ranger XL?
I’ve just got the 2019 xl I hope this is possible as well. I’d love a bigger screen.
Yes will work on the PX3
Does my ford pass still work if you change the radio how would u do a master reset to remove access without the stock radio
What part No for the harness and pioneer system please
Can I use your mounting kit and wire harness assembly here in America for my 2019 Ford ranger?
J M really hard to find this info. Haven’t found a clear solution for upgrading the head unit in the US market. Seems like it’s possible but I’m thinking we might lose the front and rear sensor option which would be a no go
Will parking sensors still work
We're can I buy the same one in the video
Super Nice step by step tutorial. The video doesn't makes you dizzy. Will the kenwood stereo (can you state the kenwood model) fit the 2016 ford everest (same dashboard with the one you replaced). By the way, can you also make a tutorial video for honda civic fc 10th gen on tesla android stereo. Thanks a lot.
Nice video. If I only want the reverse camera to power on during reverse, do I still connect the two purple/white wires together on the 2connects?
Awesome! 🤝💯👌🥂
How much is the whole set
Great vid. Thanks.
Just wondering if there was any reason you opted to mount the new mic on the screen as apposed to in the factory location of the original mic?
Yes you cannot retain the factory microphone it will not adapt. The new units MUST use the new microphone or it will sound terrible.
I understand the need in using the new mic. Its just the location it was placed I was curious about. Is the new mic to big to go in the original location?
It would muffle the audio so its not clear.
thanks ffor a very nice video, one question, what speakers do you used as replacement?
I just purchased one of these kits. Pretty awesome so far but I'm trying to get access to the remote power out so I can install my amps but my kit came pre done with my kenwood unit. So the blue remote wire is already hooked in. With tag removed im unsure if I can just splice into it for my remote power.
Amazing Video

Does it work with the bigger screen unit
Did you have to make any changes to the CD player unit for this to work? If so could you please elaborate, I would like to order the DIY kit but not sure what to do with the CD player unit? I have a 2020 XLS Ranger.
I need all that kit.
Have you done a ranger with higher end speakers ie. hertz mille pro or audison speakers? Sound deadening etc. if so how was the sound quality? Great video by the way. Very professional.
We have done some high end Focals in the Ranger and we use SoundSkins deadening on every audio job we do.
Looks good and all but Where you insert your CD in the old place with the controls pisses me off, Is useless but is there.. Would look neater if they did a facica plate for the bottom with it deleted
Thanks for the post! Just wondering if you cant tell me what sort of aerial connector it is? FARKA female? And what variant if so? Thanks
Yes its a standard fakra on this one.
Can you still function the Ford Pass with that radio?
Great job I have the same stereo but it turned off itself any help
Dude how much does all that thing cost?
Hey mate, just wondering if the sensors for reversing camera will work with the new head unit?
Hi friend, lose the ac temp indication? Because is show in small original display..
in using this head unit, would I still be able to control the heating and fan controls from the screen?
How much??
Will this work on the XL model? Also does the package include the Dash kit or no ?
Yes it will work.
is there a decent upgrade for the factory 7inch? or not worth it? i just hate the blue tooth and the default function to radio, plus blue tooth is on the 2nd page, and just really crap overall (for how much they claim its worth)
2. And how about if I am not connecting a reverse camera, do I still need to connect the purple/white wire on 2 connects together?
How do you handle knock back claims from Ford when something goes wrong in the car and they blame the customer for tampering with the entire system in the car ?
Can you install this on a XL ranger
Can you still function the Ford Pass app?
No that is removed with old unit
Hey, just wondering if there's anyway to keep Ford's Sync voice command button working?
No as you remove the Sync system in favour of Apple CarPlay & Android Auto which has its own voice system
nice
Is there a version of this for the older (2014) model?
Yes sir these models here:
carboncarsystems.com.au/?s=px1+ranger
Would this apply to the PX2 2015 model?
All PX2 Models yes!
👍👍

is this suitable for wildtrak?
No not the wildtrak as you lose some of the cars features.
is it becoz of the Odometer twin screen part? man im so sick of my wildtrak player.. limited function and slightly lag when browsing around..
This doesn't make any sense. Got a radio but none of the clamps fit .
How much the cost ?
Unit: goo.gl/ZWLdNz
