Android Double Din Stereo Installation In Ford Ranger & Explorer 5.0
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Installing an aftermarket Android Navigation stereo in my 1995 Ford Ranger. This project is not for the faint of heart as it requires cuting your radio bezel and there is no going back. This same pricipal applies to all 1995 - 2000 Explorers and 1995 up Rangers because they share the same style radio opening and bezel.
You can buy this stereo here amzn.to/2ZsLg0c

Finally found a video on someone installing a similar stereo on a Ranger. Glad you pointed out a way besides the metra kit, almost gave up on the project. Thank you so much!
I have a Ranger 1995 and buy a JVC KW-AV61BT it comes with the same plastic adapter you show and fits perfect without any gap.
Wow !
I just bought a 99 XLT Ranger for my farm and I'm thinking in getting an android screen radio for it to replace the radio it has, I just can believe I have the same Pioneer radio you had. LOL
Great video man !
I know this video is 5 years old but for anybody else mounting a new Double Din and has gaps or a rough bezel edge you can strip the insulation off an electrical cord, cut it down the center then glue it in place over the bezel edge. Fit it like a saddle on a horse.
If you have them, some small clamps will be helpful to hold the insulation in place while the glue sets up. The clamps also flatten out the insulation a bit so it doesn't look rounded.
Cheers! EDIT..I Missed the part where you mention the wire jacket....oops.
I just finished an install for a guy, he had a 2005 ford ranger. I tried 3 different scosche kits and none fit. Bought the American International and 2 Metra kits. Used 1 Metra but had 2 trim but its seems snug but the very bottom of the corner of the kit sticks out slightly because of the curve of the dash trim/bezel.
Lots of helpful info here many people might not realize, I came here looking for alternatives to shaving trim on factory dash bezel in Ranger but when I installed one of the android systems like that in my Tacoma that front bezel gave me a fit. Other than those little pieces of info I would never jerry rig my shit like this lol, I plan on putting the factory radio back in when I sell the truck.
Well the best thing to do is what I did. I bought a spare radio bezel (the whole black part of the dash) from a junk yard and cut it up. That way I can always put it back to stock if I want to. I wouldnt really consider it jerry rigged. Its a custom fabrication. :)
@@JackofAllMasterofNone that is the way to go for sure, after looking at all possible options (which weren't many) I ordered the Amer. Int'l kit and I'll custom fabricate it and cop a spare bezel from the scrap yard. You had the most helpful video on the sublect, thanks for sharing.
l wouldn't worry about it really. l mean it's a ford ranger, nobody gets in one of those things with clean and beauty in mind. it won't hurt anything if there is a little gap.
If I do this, I'll be switching from the same aftermarket cd player lol. '07 Ranger but still same set up.
Hey man, obviously you commented this awhile ago but I was wondering if you actually finished this?
Very helpful i just bought the same radio intalling on ford explorer
Abel what kind of harness u use for sound I️ can’t find the correct harness for sound
What size radio did u order 6.2?
@@LivingLifeN704 did you ever find the right harness? I’m installing a stereo in a 2000 explorer and the radio harness that was sent from best buy worked but the amplifier harness is too small.
@@aidanh4228 yes
@@LivingLifeN704 do you know the name of it by any chance?
get good double sided tape,you can get the clear one and use the trim ring. you just have to make sure the area is free of oil,wax dirt and it should stick pretty good.
Great video! Its cool how it's got the Ford logo on start-up. Is that standard or a setting it comes with? Very nice back up camera as well. Thats a big help on the trail.
Its a setting. You can change it to any car manufacturer.
I bought a sony. My installer never removed all that front panel . Just fitted the radio in after some trimming, and the radio is kind of loose, easy to remove if stolen.
Beautiful video
Also mazda b series and mercury mountaineer
Looks really good did the backup camera come with the headunit or did you buy that separate
Seperate
Where do I get those brackets where they snap into place like factory
man i feel like shipping this damn android radio right back to amazon now
Not working well?
i guess i'll be buying a dremel! great video thanks!
BLACK RTV shit i need that bratcket lets see how mine fits flo green face cover
Selling the old pioneer radio? Lol
I'm thinking about buying a 03 Ford Ranger and wanting to know did you have to buy anything else like any adapters, I'm thinking about putting it on by myself or have someone else put it on since this is my first time putting a aftermarket radio in. If there is anything that I'll be needing to get it to fit can you please tell me or link the product. Thank you.
Can anyone tell me how to wire the after market plug to the Ford plug for a 97 Ford explorer. I dont know what wire does what lol
Yea I cant get mine to turn off with the key. I have the same vehicle
Use the one ut came with
What size double din fits
Should have used something like jb weld. Then paint it
Lol bad idea
where can I get the american international mounting kit you used
That would NOT fit a 1998 Explorer (2002 Crown Victoria uses the same radio) because those are beveled down to a single DIN just a few inches in to clear the HVAC vents.
I put a double din kenwood in my 1998 explorer. Gotta modify the bezel
How’d you get the ford boot up? Haha now i want it
How did u install the backup camera?
anyone know the width of these radios
what the name of that harnest
How does the backup camera work if it’s no camera on the vehicle my default? I have a 2002 Ford Explorer would it work on mine?
You have to add one. This would work on your explorer.
Doubt you'll respond to this as this video is 3 years old, but I'm going to attempt installing a pioneer AVH-X490BS in my 97 explorer and I can't seem to find the wiring harness/tools to change it out. I'm trying to get everything from amazon, as I have rewards points that I'm using to get it for free. If anyone can help me out It'd be extremely appreciated. Or can anyone point me in the right direction for the connections if they aren't available on amazon?

Those can be tricky depending on if you have an external amp or not. If you want to retain the factory amp use this harness. amzn.to/3taiocd
I personally recommend bypassing it, but it is a complicated process. If you don't have a factory amp you will need this harness most likely amzn.to/3csfg5y
Would that fit on a 2003 Ford Explorer ?
Is the wiring pretty much self explanatory? Did you have to buy any adaptors or anything? I have the same truck and i want to install one.
Yes. Just use the correct wiring kit for your year Ranger / Explorer and its wire for wire color match
What center console did you put in?
You planning on making that video with all the features it has? And how it is now after having it for so long?
Still works fine. Dont have a video on the features but its just like any other Android 7.1 stereo.
What is the plastic wire used to fill in the edges?
Just a generic wire i had laying around
How long did it take to modify the trim to get it to fit I ordered one a week ago. For my 02 ranger I thought they were a full 2 Din....
Took about 30 minutes. They are a full 2 din for american standard size radios, but not european
@@JackofAllMasterofNone alright I ordered a 7 inch radio I hope it will fit it's a slim back one doesn't go as deep into the truck hopefully not to much cutting thanks for the reply
What size was the unit you put in?? The dimensions??
I never find the answer to the questions man
The dash kit is come with the stereo?
No. There is no dash kit
does anyone know that some at 91.10 station at 18:45?
Yeah its hades by kalmah
Where can I get the radio and how do I got about hooking the back up camera up? I have a 99 Ford ranger
+Tyler Miller you can get that head unit on Amazon or Ebay. The Back-up Camera you just have to supply power from the back up lights and run the wires up to the front. There are plenty of videos on UA-cam on how to hook up a backup camera.
tichendorf thanks man I appreciate it and I also have a ranger , I have a 99 4.0 I want to 5.0 swap eventually
+Tyler Miller The radio can be purchased on amazon or ebay. Just search double din android. The backup camera must be wired in. There is no specific way but most people wire it in to their backup lights. There are many videos here on youtube how to install a backup camera.
Could you pass me the radio connection diagram?
I need it too for the speaker wires
What tool did you use to cut bezel?
Dremel
How is the android radio? You like it?
Yes
it wont be here tell next month but i knew there would be complications with the face plate (painted seahawks metalic blue with a neon green pin stripe)so i will slowlly and evanly remove matirial tell it fits leaving top better than the non visable bottom and fabricate metal brackets for the sides but so i dont remove to mutch il lick it with my toung tell it fitts instead of my dremel hey the face plate has 3 coats of clear GO HAWKS!
I've done some paint to mine to match my red exterior. Have you done your door trim? Lol I hope my radio fits it's a 2 Din from wish.
Your spelling is uhmaiyzene
@@timm5970 dont be amazed just comprehend
@@tucanman9775 i did comprehend. If only you did the same
im dyslexic but i think up some crazy inventions and the strongest group has members from types
Is this a 6.2 or 7 inch screen?
7 inch
What brand of radio is that? What back up camera are u using?
+corey cavanagh all generic unbranded from Amazon
Just have some gaps and stuff 100 dollar bills in it to keep it snug.
Shit I just got a Android 7.1 with dvd, gps, backup cam included, obd2, blue tooth for $19.99 shipped to Canada.
Can you share the link? I'm also in CA and looking for the same thing.
I got one for 25 cent's on wish
About to buy this radio for my 2010 Ranger XLT. How's it holding up so far?
+Ethan Sammons great
Experience bad luck, advise possible viewers
Huh?
So did the GPS work ok?
+Chris Morris yes it works great
I was gonna ask the same thing! Having gps without using your phone is nice. But where did you put the gps sensor? Did it have a big circle white thing like garmin does for off road trucks?
@@JackofAllMasterofNone how much was the unit?
So did not GPS work ওকে
That was a Christian radio station in the first one ❤
You know it! Always the first one to be programmed
