I have the same unit and it’s perfect my stock one was a non shaker model and it was trash it stopped working and this was cheaper than an oem replacement and better in every way
I really wanted this thing to work. I ordered from the link in the description and started my install last night. I'm happy to report that NOTHING in this video matched what i received. The wire colors, and even the display instructions. Nothing worked, so i uninstalled and went back to factory.
Have you reported this back to the seller? I bought via the UK amazon site but know that these units are also for sale via ebay sellers. Mine has been flawless since install so can only imagine you have been sent the wrong kit in error?
Your problem with your volume Being too loud is probably because you did not completely turn your volume down on your OEM head unit before removing it.
I thought so too. But I disconnected the unit, put the old one back in, and checked the vol was all the way down. Same effect. Had to correct via the equaliser, works great now.
@@dequavejohnson if you goto 14:30 on my video I show how to adjust the equaliser settings if the volume is too loud. The equaliser allows you to adjust the volume of various frequencies.
Yes, fixed the ac issue at 19:30 in my vid. Turning on the floating icon for ac stops it randomly appearing for me. Also IIRC the temp switch is also in that same menu but mine kept jumping back even after changing it. Hasn’t bothered me enough to find a fix though.
Hello I had a question. When everything is plugged in, I turn the key or insert it and a like hitting noise comes from the speaker. However, if I disconnect a certain plug, the noise doesn’t happen, but also the system doesn’t turn off with the car. The system works completely fine everything with the AC, Bluetooth, just that noise. Any help? Thanks
There is a button on the system for subwoofers. I show it in the video, could be yours is switched off or it hasn’t recognised you have one? Worth a shot. Plus make sure you have the unit set to the correct protocol (i show the setting I used in the vid).
How's everything been working so far? Originally was going Dynavin 8 all the way, but noticed a few reviews on these that look promising and a whole lot cheaper.
Me too and had a dynavin in my ebay basket for weeks! This one is great, works perfectly for carplay which is what I wanted. Only thing is the touchscreen for climate controls, I prefer old school physical buttons but was it worth paying double for the dynavin just for that, probably not. Other than that its an excellent upgrade over the stock unit and glad I took the risk. Bit fiddly to set up sound wise as I mention in my vid but you only need to do that once.
My volume knob isn’t working on the unit properly. Up is down and vice verse. Also the steering wheel controls aren’t functioning properly. Volume is skip etc
Sounds like it’s not set correctly for your year of car. Have you checked the protocol settings on the unit? Mine is set to BSJ/Ford 09-14 Mustang ID 9005008 V1.008? I show how to check in the vid.
Have you tried turning on the floating icon I show in the video? If it works via that and not from the “physical” buttons then it could be your connection in the back isn’t seated properly.
I have a 2013 mustang s197.. have a similar radio, on my ac screen it shows the outside temp as some ridiculous number like 200 F. But the rest of the Temps are good. Any way to fix that?
Mine too, shows 50 degrees C (I’m in the UK). I installed the Agama car launcher app and it has a temp reading that seems to pick up a more accurate 17 degrees C for this time of year. Comes with a free trail and (from memory) was a one off payment for a few bucks to buy the full version. I show it in one of my shorts.
When playing music via carplay its good. Occassionaly when you are on the home screen or switching between apps I do hear a bit of background noise. Not a huge amount. I did have to play around with the equaliser settings to get the volume right.
@@autogaragelife so good as in acceptable, or better than stock? I think the Shaker system is pretty good, I’m just afraid to swap it and end up with worse audio quality.
@user-ce1qg7lt2d I only played the radio through the shaker, with poor fm signal, so couldn’t really compare tbh. All I can say is it’s sounds great to me, no distortion via carplay (which is all I really use) and I wouldn’t put the shaker back in. I’m no audio expert though. I’m happy with mine👍
Been thinking about one of these for my 2014 mustang. But so far midt of these dont have controls for heated seats if you have them. Does this unit have controls for that?
I can see options in the heating settings for heated front screen and heated steering wheel. There are loads of other settings for the unit itself to turn things on/off but I’m not sure if there is one for heated seats. I don’t have them though so can’t see anything. Sorry.
Do you know what I could do if the stereo doesn’t match the ac climate control connector, it’s too small for my 2010 ford mustang, you think there’s an adapter out there? Or what should I look up to fix this issue?
@@autogaragelife yeah my wire does not fit the stereo, but then I asked the seller and they showed me a picture, I wasn’t the one who installed it but the guy showed me that it did not fit the new stereo.. seller shows me a picture on how it’s supposed to be wired and it looks different
Hey I was wondering if the sound quality sounds kinda same as the shaker and if your experiencing any issues with the radio sounding bad or something like that?
Hi, I pretty much always listen to music via carplay and the quality is fine for me. I have a dab radio app that I’ve used occassionsly and again the quality is fine. I’ve never bothered with the fm radio. I’m no car audio expert though and not fussed about getting perfect audio so some might say otherwise. For me though its spot on. You can hear a bit of background noise if you turn the vol way up but as I intend to keep my ear drums intact I just don’t do that!😆 probably the speakers fault more than this unit I’d guess.
Hi, I’m not sure without seeing your setup but with this screen you replace the whole bezel removing all the stock trim. I think you need to tell the seller you have auto a/c as I’ve read the connector may be different but not sure tbh as mine is manual a/c.
I found a solution! First you want to go to protocol settings. Make sure it says Network Can Set! Skip over raise. Scroll down to “BSJ”, to the right select ford, then select 2009-2014 mustang . Your ID should be 9005008. This will for sure fix the AC, steering wheel buttons and more!
I installed this same unit and for some reason I can’t see or find anything on the climate control nothing shows up on the unit and the knob on the bottom does nothing no volume change and no power on or off
There seems to be a few in a similar situation. Looks like some sellers are shipping the wrong connectors for auto a/c vs manual. If yours is right maybe try making sure it’s seated properly or try putting the old unit back to see if it still works. Yoy might have blown a fuse?
@caguilarga try turning on the floating ac icon and press that. I show how to activate it within the vid. If you press that it brings up the full screen of ac controls.
I’ll try thanks and what do you think about the volume knob it doesn’t work neither does the power button or the steering wheel buttons vol up dwn or track skip
@@autogaragelife Ok. I've looked everywhere for something in regards to subwoofer level settings, but no luck. The sub in my trunk is connected to the green sub out on the head unit, but I'm barely getting any sound out it. Even with the gain on the sub amp at max.
@raehorrell4160 Just found another button tonight. You swipe down from the top icon bar on the main screen and there’s a car subwoofer button you can toggle on or off.
I can see options in the heating settings for heated front screen and heated steering wheel. There are loads of other settings for the unit itself to turn things on/off but I’m not sure if there is one for heated seats. I don’t have them though so can’t see anything. Sorry.
I connected a year ago and today it just stopped playing music after 10 mins In the car it come back everytime I get out the car for a while but any help ?
@@autogaragelife it’s still has complete power but absolutely no sound I kept disconnecting from CarPlay and Bluetooth nothing works until I get back into my car from leaving
@bt.racing535 I would “guess” it should work as having sync wasn’t a requirement to replace the head unit. What I would do to confirm, if you can, is check the connections at the back of your unit matches those shown in my video. You can also contact the seller on amazon (or wherever you buy from) with your car model and get them to confirm before you buy.
Is yours the T shaped shifter from the slightly earlier models? Guessing the surround will be able to be removed in a similar way but I’ve only done it on this model and a manual 05 I’m afraid.
@@autogaragelife Thanks. Of course I found two videos telling me to do it, after I removed it 🤣. It must save the last settings in the computer on power down or something? Guess it makes sense that it saves the setting it last had, but not why that becomes the new "max" and "min". Now I'm down a rabbit hole........
Has anyone had this issue? My radio sound works great but whenever I try Apple car play I can’t hear anything. It doesn’t matter how high I turn up the knob
Doubt it, the bezel wont fit and I think (from memory) the connectors are different. Could be wrong though! I got a sony double din for my 05 S197 which was good. Sure there will be others now specific to the earlier 197’s.
Have you checked the small connector for the ac at the bottom is seated properly? Pretty sure that works the power button as well. (I show it in the video)
@@autogaragelifewhen i go into car settings and then click on set into car and i click on the speaker icon and i click on the plus to turn the bass or treble up it doesn’t work. how do i fix that

Same unit as mine? Try checking the equaliser settings and turn them all the way down, out the box mine were all far too high.
From the amp I think I had the same problem and it was a plug the shop and to mess around with to get it to stop
How much was this? I have a Dynavin 8 radio and i have to reset it every week because phone disappears from memory, or radio volume is stuck at zero.
Mines was 248 on eBay
Yup £238 on amazon for mine in the UK. $269 on amazon US. Both links are in the video description.👍
why do you turn the volume down and put the ac all the way up?
So the new unit is set correctly. I forgot to turn the ac up at first and the new units fan wasn’t right. Had to take it back out again!
