Do you know if I can hook my amp for my sub woofer up to this unit or the T900 unit?
1 am watching these kinds, man I thought your kid was mine in the room. Paused the video and listened for a bit 😂
That’s a nice smooth looking screen
Overall good vid
how can I make my climet control to show in the screen?
I have a 2012 f150 xlt. I bought a T1 radio and I can't seem to get it to turn on. Did you have this issue?
I got the 380 cad one and installed it. It ate my trucks battery, I was manually switching the panel off because it was not turning off when I turn off the vehicle but still it ate the battery. I talked to support and they said the CANBUS is defected, they are going to send me another CANBUS. I notice that their support is so bad.
Were you able to display the outside temperature, direction compass (n, E, w, S) and car's climate control on this LCD? Because they are located at the top panel that gets hidden after installing this one.
Also, my radio connection adapter is different than the one this stereo has.
Can you post a link to the product? I can't find it in the description.
I bought the 900 series radio like this one looks great gonna hook it up this weekend
How did it turn out
Also Curious how this one turned out!
Did it work? I can’t get mine to boot up
@@FrontierFab907 i can't get mine to boot either, did you find a solution?
I bought the 900 for my 2012 Fx4 and it works great. The only thing I can’t figure out is how to integrate the HVAC temp/ambient temp/fan level readout that was previously in the LED readout above the old head unit. Y’all had any luck with that?
Hey bro I have same truck but 2014 ,xlt with backup cameras.
Can I connect my phone to it and listen to UA-cam music?
Do you know if I could pair an amp to this so I could run a sub ?
Will this allow you to have the radio playing whilst following google maps for example?
I wonder if this will work for my lariat
How did you get the FORD logo on it?
I can't find the 300A model. What was the manufacturer? Thanks John
I’m having trouble with my volume it ain’t as loud. Do you have that problem ?
Anyone have the Bluetooth audio cutting out and being glitchy?
Lwave the link for it ..
It will be a lot easier to go directly to it..
Does your stearing wheel control work
Do you have the FORScan codes for the steering wheel controls?? Thanks great video.
I don't remember what they were. Im sure I have a picture or note somewhere I will try to find it. I am sorry about that. I used asbuilt data from an 2013 XLT if that helps.
Did you have (and have to remove) the top stock LED display? Most after market units get installed UNDER the stock LED display. This one looks more clean.
Yes you remove the display. In my case I lost the outside temp display but I installed a weather app which places the outside temp back up at the top. If you have a truck with auto climate control you would probably lose your temp display but I am unsure.
How did you get the ford logo on it
Why doesn’t mine reboot at shut off
Do you know if this works with an iphone?
Did you have any issues connecting into the factory amplifier? It’s says it won’t connect if you have a factory amplifier on the webpage.
I have an XL so I had no factory amp. I would not be able to help you with that sorry.
Does anyone know if it has wireless CarPlay?
What wire did u wire ur reverse cable to ur stereo? Mine doesn't have one ? The red cable tht comes with the yellow rca ,
The reverse cable that came on mine had a white clip that plugged into the back of the unit with a RCA plug. I will look for a photo and get back to you.
How did you get the steering wheel controls to work. Was there an adapter?
It comes with an adapter when you purchase the radio.
Curious, I have '13 XL with steering wheel controls. Would the controls be recognized by the new Radio, or did you have to go into settings and make some adjustments? I understand you had to turn on the controls for your truck on with Forscan, guessing I wouldn't need to do that?
As long as you have the steering controls it will recognize them, I added the steering controls to the stock radio before the upgrade so it would be just like a higher trim level XLT when I swapped the radio out.
I lost my screen up top now I don’t know what the temp is inside or outside I have a 2011 lariat and was able to set climate inside
how this is my only problem i have a lariat too
I added the weather app you suggeted, but the temp on the top of the main display did not show up? Is there a setting that needs changed?
I've got the same problem😅
It is still showing up on mine. I think I had to go to the setting in the weather app and click display on status bar.
I need help installing mine, no instructions and it won’t turn on when I turn my key what do I do? I need help please
I have the same issue. Did you get it to work?
how did you get it to power off when you turn off the key
Yeah, I have same issue and it ate up the battery and my car's battery is dead. I talked to support and they said the CANBUS is defected, they are sending a new one that will take about 3 weeks to arrive
Show the wiring….. Everyone shows this screen working but no one shows the wiring process!!!!!
Thanks
Did you have to add anything to keep your steering wheel controls or a use original microphone in truck
My truck did not have sync from the factory so I did not have a mic or steering wheel buttons. I bought a wheel from an XLT and installed it, I had to activate the switches using Forscan by changing some values on the steering column control module. If you already have the buttons then the new radio is plug and play, the factory mic will likely not work and they include a aftermarket mic which you should be able to place in the headliner where the factory one goes. I placed mine in the A pillar because I did not have a spot from the factory anyway.
I take it you moved the traction control, hazard button, and pass. airbag buttons down by the hvac controls?
Yes just pops out and into the new bezel.
@@humbullitt Sorry Im bothering you again. My radio went bad that's why I'm replacing it. Does this replace the OEM radio ( or double din) behind the dash or connect to it? I am seeing that some connect to the existing radio and obviously that won't help me.
Yes you will remove and discard the front panel, the small blue dot matrix screen, and the receiver. This is a totally new unit that replaces the old.
Also, was there a radio adapter that you had to get. The stock connecter was a female end and the connecter with the head unit was also female
So I would need a adapter with 2 male ends to make it work? Thanks
Do u have a link to it?
The one I bought came with everything I needed. Maybe they forgot to ship it?
How did you get the ford start screen and how did you change the color of the buttons
You can change the color with a built in app that it came with. It also had the start screen pre loaded you can select the logo.
Do you have to splice into a 12v wire for the red wire from the radio harness?
I did not have to splice into any wires on my vehicle. Only thing I had to use a connector for was the backup camera wire from the unit to the red wire on the camera cable.
Hi i have the same issue like you did you find solutions
my car wont turn off after i remove the key
can you help thanks
Did you follow another video for installation? Mine didn’t come with instructions
I followed a video on the removal just so I knew what tabs to pull off as far as install it was all plug and play and I don't think any connectors are able to plug in where they should not go.
@@humbullitt can you link that video please?
so you had the ford sync 1? I need to upgrade my ford edge.
I had what is the basic system that did not have sync although the procedure is the same as if it had sync.
What wheels are you running ?? They look sweet
Thanks! They are from a 2021 F150 Sport Package. I found them locally for only few hundred bucks keep an eye out on craigslist or facebook marketplace.
Did you have to set it to show the ford symbol?
I am curious how to do that as well.
It has a list of preprogrammed car brand logos you can pick from. Not sure if all are like that but this one was right out the box.
the sound is heard the same as the OEM ?
It sounds better to me. It has an equalizer so it is more customizable.
You didn't have to run any wires for the steering wheel controls? Just activate in forscan?
Yes add the new wheel and switch is all. Then change values of SCCM and it works. I will look and see if have wrote down what line need to be changed and follow up if I find it.
I just googled it. Much easier. Here is the link of how someone else added them and what values they changed. The ACM values dont need to be changed if replacing radio.

Thanks for the replay. I have a 2011 f150 xl. That came with a plain radio. I've upgraded the steering wheel to one with the switches and needed the values for the sccm to make it work with my android radio.
@@humbullitt how did you get the Ford logo on it
does this have an AM tuner?
Yes it does have AM radio as well.
Any update on the unit so far? Still working good with no bugs?
Only issue I have had is the button color backlighting didn't come on once and I just swiped down to clear memory and It came back but I had a lot if apps running at the time. I also had the volume buttons on my steering wheel glitch out and not work or work intermittently which I thought was the unit but ended up being my oem ford steering wheel switch went bad. It was $40 on Amazon.
damn.. wish you did an installation vid. didn't come with any instructions
Literally, no one is doing an installation video and when I think I've found it, they skip all the plug-in parts to the end. There's no support.
It’s like 13 options on the site with no explanation on which is which
I must admit the options on the site lack info and are confusing. From what I gather the T300 is the base cheapest option the T600 and finally T900. I selected the cheapest one which was T300A I see is not listed anymore but it has a 8" screen. Now it looks as if the T300 is the 9" screen and is all they have available for $141 which is a great deal still in my eyes. Mine is still working great after 6 months I had one instance of the weather app not loading and displaying an old temperature but I just swiped down and pressed the clear apps tab and no other issues so far.
You have to select the one that is compatible with your current dash configuration. There's the AT style and the MT style. If you have round knobs for your AC controls, it's likely the MT style. If all of your controls are in the rectangle formation, it's likely the AT style. In addition to either AT or MT, you have to look at the specs of the system you want. The less expensive ones don't have faster processor speeds and features. Some have 4G capability and others are WiFi. Look at all the options.
How’s the unit holding up?
It still is working great, have not had any issues, kind of lags sometimes when trying to use maps but always connects to Bluetooth and radio just fine.
Does it have apple CarPlay
This one does not, this is the cheapest unit they sell. They do offer ones with that capability for not much more though.
@@humbullitt can you give me link to one that goes into a 2011 f150 with Apple car play please?
Hi, just wondering if this is still working for you
It still works great to this day, there is some screen burn in from being on the radio screen so much but functions work good and I have been happy with it.
@@humbullitt So, question- I have the 4.2 inch screen in my 2014 F150- What install kit do you need to install this for steering wheel controls- mine is the xlt, but didn't have a touchscreen or backup camera.
I know you said it comes with everything, but the link you sent has several different models..
Link? And which radio did you have prior?
I have link posted above. The radio I had was the base radio the F150 XL comes with. It wont let me post a picture but it was the one that had the blue dot matrix display up top and an aux port at the bottom.
How did you get your steering control I lost steering control on mine
I believe it’s in settings on the unit, you hold down your steering wheel button and choose what u want to be paired.
