Thanks for the video. Installation went very smoothly! Took just under 2 hours. VERY happy with the finished product. Anybody with a 2015/2016 base Mustang should do this upgrade!
I just installed the tomtop unit in my 2016 mustang. This unit works great! Everything works! The navi works really good too.. Not bad for the price. Installation for me was about 3 hours, it was my first time installing a radio in a car. Thank you for making the installation video. It helped me out a lot.
I revisited this video 2 years later. You motivated me to install my 8 inch screen and it’s been up and running ever since. I checked back in just to see how the mustang is still holding up. I will browse your page to look for updates. Keep up the good content!
Thanks to Joel S550's video i did mine install abouts 2 weeks ago, it works great, no wiring issues, a must do for base 2015+ mustangs. I'm pleased on how it functions, its better than what i was expecting. Got mine from Tomtop on ebay for $305 shipped, go it in 10 days.
Great video. I'm sure that one will help a lot of folks. The only thing I'll critique is, don't try to get so close with the camera. We don't need to see individual bolts up close an personal. It was just a blurry mess anyway. Back off a little, let the camera focus, and and point out the fasteners to be removed. Other than that, great job and nice looking install!
I bought a Pioneer radio that fits my mustang 2015 as specified by the company. DO i need to buy any seperate kit to make it fit along with the AC controls and all or i can just remove the top part with screen and numbers portion and replace it with the new one along with the old volume, AC controls frame?
Can you give more info on what upgrade package this is? I ordered the Scosche Kit which works with any double-din, but I would have MUCH rather kept my manual controls. Oh well. At least I know it is a fallback option. If this keeps the factory amp section in the CD player, I never liked the sound of it (midrange was always harsh), so maybe an aftermarket head unit is the better option.
Wait a tic? So the base logic board will fit around the 8in screen? Also, what parts do I need from the donar car? Everything or just the Sync 3 brain, fascia piece and 8in screen? My current CD player doesn't need to be swapped?
+Joel S550 One question, bro! At 5:24, you detached the Sync Box and CD player, then plugged something into the CD player -- then reinstalled both before putting in the new head unit. What was that step for? Were those plugs from the new head unit? (Thanks in advance!)
+Kelley D. Cadungug, MA you have to plug the cd box plug into the tomtop wireing and the tomtop wiring has a plug that plugs into the cd box pretty simple once you take it apart you will know what I'm talking about
Did you have to do any cutting on the black pants or extra mods for the GPS antenna? I've watch two other videos on here and both claimed they have to cut the black back panel. Thanks
Hello Joel Installed Mustang radio upgrade and your instruction video help alot. For some reason my bluetooth won't sync, no sound on navigation (voice), temperature in Celsius only and date sets only one day ahead. Hope you can help. Dalton
Hello I got my unit installed it but no backup camera. was I suppose to hook one of those random wire for that? All factory cable connected. took 5 hours to hook up.
Nice video. My 15 Mustang is a premium so it has the upgraded unit. I would like to upgrade the door speakers, any videos out there showing how to remove the door panel and the factory speakers?
Don't upgrade "just speakers" on this car. You will not be happy with the results - many have reported this. If you want to replace the speakers, you'll want to install an aftermarket amp(s). The stock amp just doesn't have enough power to drive good 4 ohm aftermarket speakers and the sound will end up poor and worse than stock speakers.
Does this radio system have to have the conversion kit I checked Best Buy just to get a radio put in and they wanted 499 for a conversion kit plus the radio and you don’t say anything about a conversion kit for this system?? Correct??
Very informative video, I was wondering there are many more economic and upgraded versions of aftermarket radios, is it possible to install them without the dashkit. I intend to remove only the top part of stock dashkit and place a 8-10" screen there, make connections using the harness. Please advise if anyone is wiser by trying that
Hey its a great video, I'm just about to order my screen, but I was wondering about the wiring.. where do all the wires that u plugged in go in the car ? I don't understand, do u mind elaborating a bit for me. Thank you.
like example, I didn't see an input for the backup camera in the video, but I saw ur other video and it was working great, so I'm just not sure how u wired it
+Razen Alhebshi its pretty simple once you take it apart you will see where they plug! you can only plug them in one place, idk if you watched the whole video but towards the middle and toward the end i unplug and plug some wires
Where did you buy yours? I've bought two and both have cracked in the first or second day of being in the car? Nothing was screwed it too tight or even forced
no rear view camera, and yes the yellow plugs are connected. if I plug the camera male to the line in female I can get the camera working by selecting line in. any ideas?
Ford wants to sell more 4 bangers as they help with CAFE numbers so they attach "Premium" to the 4 bangers. Though the performance numbers are very similar (though the V6 is slightly detuned from the previous iteration). Just get a chip tuner and you are fine. I drove both before making my decision. The 4 seemed a tiny bit slower, the sound seemed underwhelming but that was about it. The 6 had a better sound out the door but again either can get a new set of cans to change that. My ultimate decision maker: To get every bit of performance out of the 4 I needed to get premium gas which is contrary to saving me money on gas mileage. I noticed about a 2-3 mile per gallon difference when not all over it about the same when I was. I'll stick with the V6 but the 4 is impressive for such a small displacement. My question- does this stereo have SiriusXM?
Bro, i have the 2015 mustang v6 base, im trying to buy a used 2016 mustang stereo to upgrade, do you think it can still be installed without any problems?
Hey man I got the same system and it works and all but the only thing that don't work is my gps system it don't let me go in it any ideals. Also I was wondering if you know the code to do and up date
Check out the Infotainment and Electronics section of the Mustang6g forum. There are no videos on there but there are some discussions about it. There is a vendor on there that is working on plug-and-play solution for adding amps to the various different systems Ford has used on the Mustang since 2015. These solutions are not quite ready yet, but will be soon.
Brian Glo try hitting the reset button with a paper clip see if that fixes it, make sure all the connections are good in the back....if that doesn’t work try to contact tomtop
Hello Joel. I need help with some problems. I just installed this unit but the air conditioning is not working well, i cannot adjust anything or turn it off. The blue lights around the buttons are not on. Second thing is that everytime i change to a correct time, it goes back one hour after i turn on my car again. And i could not find a way to change the date. Last thing is that the gps is not working well also, it pops up a message "Out of memory" and the screen just froze. Any solutions ?
Hey how much do you charge for this? Looking for someone in the Dallas area to do this to my 2015 mustang or do you know anyone in the Dallas area that can do this exact thing
Anthony Becerra yes it will work for any base model mustang 2015 and up! And there is a way to mirror your phone on the screen but you have to buy an accessorie otherwise it won’t do it on its own

Yes. How did you make the nav work. And where did you place gps antenna?

SKR 718 I was thinking the same thing haha
you would make a good side hustle and help people upgrade their cars
Can you link the specific type of stereo ?

Hello brother, you used the wiring harness adapter ?.. how you connect the 8 screens on the small wire ?
Hey Joel S550 you think you can drop a link to this product I’m having trouble finding it on the website thanks man!

thanks man. superb
where did you get the parts for the swap.
I got mine at tomtop.com it is only one part which is the screen along with the faceplate... You reuse some parts from the old unit
