2005 Ford F-150. Thank you very much...ordered parts and install took less than two hours for my son and even after forgetting the hands free microphone the first time. Used the butt-to-butt connectors instead of soldering. Great video and clear precise description. Radio even has more 'kick' with the factory speakers. 5 Stars!!!
This video is extremely informative. I never heard of the brand, I took you up & this & just received today everything you listed. I can’t wait to get it installed, I also purchased the backup camera for my 2004 f150. Thanks!
@@trappyoung make sure your wires from camera to radio are correct before you put everything together. I had to redo everything because the camera was showing left as right & viscera. It’s very easy to do yourself & if you have any questions I will try to respond back asap. Get yourself the wire loom split tubing also to protect your wires from the elements.
That mounting kit sucks. Had mine break off the other day. The Kenwood stereo I have is heavy and broke the plastic mount. It should be made of metal and not plastic. You did exactly what I did when installing the radio. Dumb that we have to cut off the back pieces for the F150
Found this video because I'm trying to add a USB charger in the dash like he did at the bottom. Where do I find power for that? Can I just go in series with the lighter socket right next to it?
The adapter for the radio antenna. I bought the black part listed. And the orange is apart of the car. But they don’t connect to eachother. What is that black piece that’s connects the two?
I just put mine in, and the biggest question got answered. That center plus that was in the stock stereo I guess does not get utilized? I have to take mine back out since I think the driver side speakers are not putting out sound. Might have to either do a new crimp job or do like you did, Sauter them together
Did anyone figure what the smaller plug does? I installed a Kenwood and just tucked this behind. I had Satellite radio and unplugged a 3rd plug from the receiver which I ditched for a Serious unit.
Nice video! It gave me the motivation to do an install myself. What is the smaller connector harness on the back of the stock radio that isn't used with the new radio? Thanks.
I tried this on my 2007 ford f150. I plugged the unit in and it was unresponsive. Tried to reset it and still nothing. I tested and there is power going to the end of the harness so I am wondering if you know why this could be happening?
buenas tardes tengo una lincon mark lt 2008 , cual es el arnes y estereo que me recomiendas para que sea plug and play, tambien me gustaria conectar una camara de revesa
On most brands, yes, you can simple ground it to the black ground wire. On Pioneer and Alpine units, you will need a bypass, or hook the parking brake wire up properly.
I’m confused about where you connect the USB ports to the radio? I ordered one on Amazon and I don’t have any wiring to connect USB to it. Do I need to order some kind of adapters?
Are your steering wheel buttons working for the radio, also the cruise control buttons as well, because mine are not working and idk why, please provide some info thanks
Hey thanks for this. I'm just wondering one of the 2 USB connectors is for the apple car play and android? Can you explain why and purpose? I am aware of charging up the phone but I hope to use bluetooth no?
Hey wassup man….love the videos…. I’m a quadriplegic and recently bought a 2013 ford econoline van to get around in…I installed a new radio with back up camera and two kicker cs series door speakers but I wanna add two more speakers and a sub in the rear because it’s just the two fronts alone right now….. I don’t have alot of money and I’m trying to do it at a low cost…. Do you have any recommendations??
Excellent video…. So would this install vid be basically the same for a 2008 Limited? I would obviously just need to buy the extra harness for sub, amp & steering controls correct?
Hi! I was wondering what you did with the other factory male harness did you just put it aside and didn’t use it? If you read this let me know, thank you!
And also, do I connect the remote wire (aftermarket amp wire ) to the aftermarket head unit harness or to the aftermarket factory harness? Because for me there is a blue and white stripe wire on each harness and I heard if I connect all 3 wires together the subwoofer will make a pop sound every time the radio turns on. If you read this please reach out to me, thank you!!
Wired color for color, everything's working but the radio doesn't power off when key is removed from the ignition? It can be manually powered off and comes back on with settings saved the next time the car is started.
You most likely have the wrong harness adapter. There are a few variables there of why it's doing that, but without knowing the year, trim, radio, and adapter parts, hard to diagnose your issue.
I have tried twice. I have wired up a wire kit for my F150 when I plug into the factory harness the radio doesn't have power to radio I've heard someone tell me to hook red to yellow but scared that burn up something
Sounds like you have a big mess on your hands. Either find a new harness to repair the old one, or else you may have to pull wiring diagrams online to see what wire does what.
Question, ive got a 07 f150 Harley Davidson with Sirius XM on the stock radio. Do i need to buy the Sirius XM tuner to keep Sirius XM feature on my new Kenwood Sirius XM ready double din?
We cut a 1" hole, flush-mounted the usb adapter listed in the description, and connected it to the usb ports located on the back of the radio. If your radio doesn't have a rear facing USB port, then this modification isn't required.
No need to connect it until we add a backup camera down the road. One wasn't being installed on that specific vehicle, but we kept it accessible until one was.
Awesome video. Your instructions were precise and easy to follow. My install went smoothly. The stereo works great until I turn on the headlights. It stills plays fine but when lights are on the stereo lights pulse rapidly. I do have led headlights and I am thinking somehow this is causing the interference. Have you ever seen this problem and do you have any suggestions how to correct it?
I installed a pioneer fh-s520bt and with a SWRFD-60 harness but I’m getting static from my speakers and humming from my subwoofer does anybody know why
Sometimes the blue or blue / white wire on the adapter harness controls an antenna amplifier. If that isn't hooked up, reception can be poor. I'd check that connection.
We will when the next F150 of this generation comes through the shop. We have a much older version (years ago) on the channel on a Lincoln version of the truck if you want to check that out.
@@ProvoBeastAudioI've got a 2006 f150 that I would like to add a touch screen, and backup camera to. If you're in Provo Utah I would love to have you install it. This truck also has in headrest video displays, will those keep working if I got this?
@@ProvoBeastAudio no, my 2008 F150 has a little mini audio jack where you could plug in your audio device or whatever. I am thinking it could be used as a place for an aftermarket microphone for a upgraded stereo, but I didn't see what or if you unplugged anything, the plug is like on top of the dash above the stereo
Hello, i have an 05 f150 4.6l and this isnt my first install but ive ran into an issue where once i pulled factory radio an wired everything up.. connected Aftermarket radio, it wont turn on, gas gauge dont work nor wipers. i checked run/acc fuse and its good. plugged factory back in an the factory radio works but still no sign on gauge movement or wipers etc.. any help?
@@ProvoBeastAudio I used the crux swrfd-60L link listed below video. Something to do with whatever dims it when the lights come on thats what it does just goes from dim the bright flickering random. Thanks
So I ordered the parts you listed, but the front dash piece doesn’t fit the stereo. Did you have to modify the front frame piece to fit it? Yours looks to fit nice and snug, but mine is just slightly too narrow…
This radio has two USB ports on the rear, both hooked to the radio. If your radio doesn't have two USB inputs, just use the flush mount with a single USB.
So what if you were a big dumby and somewhere along the way forgot to not start the truck with the airbag light unplugged and now you have a light on the dash 😂 now what 😢
Screen size is irrelevant, as the dash kit accommodates any standard sized double din. Generally the biggest screen in dash for a double din is 7", anything bigger migrates over to the float mount screen style which will still work. So yes, a 7" will work fine.
@@ProvoBeastAudioI ordered the same stuff using your links so hopefully you got the referral money but I have no idea where to run the USB. I didn’t see anything behind the radio
@@XXxxMULLINSxxXX We flush mounted the USB in the front bezel below the heating and air controls. If the radio you have doesn't have a rear USB input, then no action required. If it does, and you don't want to flush mount it, you can run the USB cable into the glove box.

😀Thanks!
Thank you!
Nice video! It gave me the motivation to do an install myself. What is the smaller connector harness on the back of the stock radio that isn't used with the new radio? Thanks.
What is the process to add/wire up the dual USB port? That is really cool
The back of the radio has two usb plugs coming out of the back and ya just plug the usb port you buy into the radio
Did everything you did but not getting power now
The extension screws didn't come with mine, what size do I need?....Thanks
How much do you charge to do an install like this?
What year of Ford F 1-50 is this?
I have a 2004. Wondering how similar this will all be.

Excelente video, saludos desde Morelia Michoacán México
Great video thank you. One question, where/how did you connect the new USB charge ports?
To the aftermarket radio usb ports.
@@ProvoBeastAudio ahh I had the same question
This video was great, but my radio does not have that center cable attached to it. Like the truck doesn’t have the cable for it.
Not sure what you mean? Feel free to send me a message on Facebook or instagram for help.
I got the same radio but the GPS volume is really low how can I fix that?

The one thing that I was trying to see is how the radio came on
If I want to install a sub later on what wire harness should I get?
When you connected parking brake input did it connect to the black wire
On most brands, yes, you can simple ground it to the black ground wire. On Pioneer and Alpine units, you will need a bypass, or hook the parking brake wire up properly.
if i have factory subs do i need both the harnesses or just one?
Does this have wireless Apple CarPlay
I’m confused about where you connect the USB ports to the radio? I ordered one on Amazon and I don’t have any wiring to connect USB to it. Do I need to order some kind of adapters?

Looks good
So install the radio bolts then test it?
Hi! I was wondering what you did with the other factory male harness did you just put it aside and didn’t use it? If you read this let me know, thank you!
Not all OEM harnesses are needed to integrate a new aftermarket head unit. It wasn't needed!
And also, do I connect the remote wire (aftermarket amp wire ) to the aftermarket head unit harness or to the aftermarket factory harness?

Sounds like you have the wrong harness adapter, or have wired it incorrectly.
The wires are already cut on this ford! How do i test the wires whithout the key on or battery connected? 😅
Sounds like you have a big mess on your hands. Either find a new harness to repair the old one, or else you may have to pull wiring diagrams online to see what wire does what.

They should snap off, and use a pair of pliers for good leverage.
You left the reverse input out right...I dont know if im suppost to connect it somewhere

Led flasher adapter plug thingy maybe

Where did you connect the two wires you pulled from the dash to connect to the USB 3.0 behind the dash, there is no link for those wires.
The Dual USB flush mount adapter connects to the USB inputs of the radio.
Hows the radio holding up?
What would cause fm not to work on a 05 ford f150? AM works fine, took stereo out to check antenna connection, looks ok??
Sometimes the blue or blue / white wire on the adapter harness controls an antenna amplifier. If that isn't hooked up, reception can be poor. I'd check that connection.
My wire harness that came with dashkit for my 05 f150 has 4 brown wires and nothing says what they go to. No black line on any of them
They might go to steering wheel controls
If I install the amps for speakers, do you just cut the wires that is connected to the stock speakers?
How did you connect the aux plug
If I don’t have the harness can I go directly from the radio to the truck wiring
I highly discourage cutting into your OEM wiring. It’s only a few bucks for a harness adapter, just do it right.
There's a gap at the bottom of the panel in the end
No gap. Perfect fit.
Hey can i install a backup camera on this radio?

Never mind. I see you had to remove the border piece on the stereo and then it fits right in. Whew…
I also had to drill three holes each side for the bracket side mounts since only one of the factory holes (the top screw you used) was lined up.
What kind of stereo was it you installed?
All linked in the description

Depends on what radio you are using. Send us a message on Facebook and we can assist further!
I got it thanks so much i had a different question now to make calls do i need to put in the microphone it came with
What did you plug the 2nd USB male end into? One went into the female end for the radio. The other?
This radio has two USB ports on the rear, both hooked to the radio. If your radio doesn't have two USB inputs, just use the flush mount with a single USB.
@@ProvoBeastAudio Thanks! Yup, mine only has one from radio.
What size are the screws that go on the side of the radio?
Each radio differs by brand. Some have course thread, others fine thread.
At 5:48 what kind of screws did you use? On the side of the double din
Screws that were provided by the radio manufacture. These Boss radio's use fine-thread screws.
Do I need to put the little microphone it xame with to make calls
Yes, or else the party on the line won't hear you!
Is compatible with multimedia buttons on steering?
Yes, see the description for notes with those specific parts if you wanted to retain your factory steering wheel volume controls.
So what if you were a big dumby and somewhere along the way forgot to not start the truck with the airbag light unplugged and now you have a light on the dash 😂 now what 😢
Did you try unhooking the battery for a while and then hooking it back in?
What colour did you put for key 2 steering wheel controls
We used a brand name radio, so there won’t be a key 1 or key 2 in our harness. It depends on your radio, and which harness you are using.
Does it have to be 6.75in or will 7in work as well?
Screen size is irrelevant, as the dash kit accommodates any standard sized double din. Generally the biggest screen in dash for a double din is 7", anything bigger migrates over to the float mount screen style which will still work. So yes, a 7" will work fine.
how did you plug in the atena adapter?
It just literally plugs in.
