Man that new radio looks so nice and clean in there.
It does!
That little mount kit is perfect makes it look clean
Great job guys! Looking forward to upgrading my trusty 2006 Explorer!
Excellent video. Got all the same parts you listed and everything worked perfectly and I retained steering wheel controls.
You get the 6.75 inch or the 7 inch?
This is the exact install I want for my Explorer! Can you suggest a very similar head unit that has a physical volume knob?
Good video with good information. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Can you make some speaker upgrade recommendations to along with this install?
If you shoot me a message on facebook or instagram.
Note about Crux SWRFD-60L harness adapter. If you have "Sync" (look for that emblem on your center console) the steering wheel buttons will not function even with this harness. This info is stated in the installation guide and I called Crux and confirmed I could have just used a basic harness like Metra 70-5520
Did you keep the steering wheel functions using the Metra 70-5520?
@@edwincordero8 No. My car had 2 connections in the dash. The Metra connected the radio to the big connector. The smaller connector must be just steering wheel controls which is what the Crux connected to
@@gbasplen got it, thanks.
Hey stupid question but are you saying I should use a different adapter then?
@@BULLETFARMER Yes but I don't know what brand still allows the steering wheel buttons to work on a "SYNC" radio
Nice thanks for sharing ❤😊
I have the sub in the back, but no steering wheel controls. Which harness would I need?
What about fishing through the mic for the phone?
Super cool and helpful!!!
Just got my 2006 ford explorer and the radio stoped working on me hopefully I can use this video!
Mines a 2010 and yeah stopped working for me too😔
Do u know what side off speaker ford explorer have like 2006 for explorer
06 Explorer with the factory sub here… I see you only plugged the purple in, and left the geek unplugged. What is the purple for?
If my ford didn’t come with the steering wheel controls, can I get the part and have it function with something like this?
Is it the 6.75 or the 7 inch one?
Help?
Does cruise control and the fan controls still work along with the volume controls on the steering wheel?
My 2008 AWD Premier Mercury Mountaineer has Satellite and Sync Controls how can I get that to work with that radio also?
I wish someone answered your question. I need my sync to work after I do the switch out as well.
Where did you get the plastic from for the usb mount. Thanks in advance
Great tutorial. Is this the only model that will fit the 2006 Ford Explorer?
Any standard double din will fit the parts used.
What if we're not lucky and it's not colour for colour?
That sucks
Great video
Thanks!
Why will the air bag. Explode ?
Does dash kit fit both 6.75 and 7” radios?
Fits all standard sized double din chassis radios, regardless of screen size. So yes.
Thank you much!
Does this radio automatically turn off when u turn off the car to? Or is there something else needed for that? With my 2008 ford explorer my default radio is automatic but when i install different radios it ends up killing my battery even with the car off and nothing else plugged in.
You need a higher quality battery, silver or above I think
@@bbongwaterr3854it kills the battery regardless of which battery i have in.
This is a cable that is not installed correctly. Had that problem once. One workaround was connecting the key that turn on the car to power the unit
Also having this issue, you find a fix?
@@blaz8064 no
Why does the steering wheel have the Mercury logo on it🤔
It’s a mercury mountaineer
Does the system also support controls for the DVD Player because I have everything it's a limited edition subwoofer and DVD player for the rear passenger does this system support all of that?
The Pac RP4-FD11 retains audio for the rear seat entertainment (RSE) package but your radio needs some sort of audio input on the rear of the head unit. The Pac instructions outline it here: catalog.pac-audio.com/index.php?controller=attachment&id_attachment=1519
@Provo Beast Audio Installation, if i want to upgrade my speakers and perhaps add a sub and steering wheel audio control should i get the upgraded harness ahead of time? Also do you have a guide for the steering wheel controller? 2007 ford explorer sport trac.
Are you asking if you can add the steering wheel control buttons on the steering wheel later if your vehicle wasn't equipped with them previously?
@@ProvoBeastAudio That's one of the questions yes. The wheel has the cruise control on the left and nothing on the right. The other question was should i spring for the upgraded harness if i wanted to install both a steering wheel control and a sub later on.
No, you buy the harness to the options equipped from factory in your vehicle. Adding SWC will require you to also replace and install a new clock spring, wiring etc. If adding a sub, no need to buy a premium harness as the radio will provide connections to a sub anyways. Sure, you can use the Pac harness, but you won't use most of the features it provides.
@@mr.silver5476
@@ProvoBeastAudio ah i see, so to put a switch in would be a lot of work and not really worth the hassle then?
@@ProvoBeastAudiodid you buy the 7inch den or 6.75?
I have one but now my speakers dont work
Sounds like you have the factory amplifier and it's not turning on. Depending on what harness you used to install the radio, be sure to hook up the remote turn on wire.
@@ProvoBeastAudio yeah the radio turns on and all but it doesnt play any sound is that the same issue ? or like ..
@@ProvoBeastAudio i didnt install it unfortunatley idk how to work these things its my first car so i know very little bout car mechanics and etc
