I dont think you can/hole is smaller on the new style to remove the VCT. would have to take the valve cover off.

How you expect ppl to learn how to do it? If they don’t even try? What the fuck

$10 for a pair on Amazon. Put mine on today---'06 F150 5.4 3v. Jesus bless. Hope that helps someone.

Oh wow. That’s great. I think a lot depends too on what you are geared at. I got the 3.73 rear end. What you got?

@@f150g33k I believe mine is the 3.55 ratio I can’t really tell on the little tag that’s on it where it’s rusted over the years

heck I get 14 to 15 no matter what now. I used to get 18 to 20 on the highway. Mine is a 2010 Supercab 4x4 with 3:55s but after adding 33s it killed the mileage.

​@@tlalexander3I'm stuck. But I average 23.6 mpg

You seem to have plenty of time on your hands to be a hater. Sounds like you need slow your pace a little and not insult the guy for trying to be helpful to others. Jus sayin.

You'll get a rough idle like stumbling over itself after engine warms up after driving it. The screens get covered or gummed up not allowing them to change the timing back to idle after it moves the timing from driving it higher rpms. It'll cause engine to rough idle and sometimes stall out

Evidently there is a usb to hdmi adapter you can purchase

Still doing fine after 15k miles. Need to hook up an oil pressure sensor and see what the whole system is at at hot idle.

@@f150g33k good deal!! I was considered getting them. Passenger side was bad. I got them from Oreillys, lifetime warranty but not sure if I trust the plastic with gasket tensioners anymore

Did you replace your vct's,? I have the same year and just read that I need to take the value cover off to access the screw. www.fordf150.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=130936

No you do not have to take the valve cover off. Remove the plastic gasket and use a long t25 into the hole remove the screw and pull out the old vct.

@@jjamm2 yes you have to remove the valve covers to access them, Ford redesigned the valve covers from 2008-2014 but 2003-2007 you can pry off the plastic solenoid cover and do so with a long T-25

Amazon or eBay

Unfortunately I haven’t tried that yet but I still want to do it. It’s pretty easy to tether from my phone at the moment but would be helpful if it had its own connection that was ready to go when I started my truck. I find myself using wireless CarPlay more than anything though.

Mine works with Tmobile

Did you by any chance get cellular working? Did you try a gsm (att or tmobile) or CDMA (Verizon) sim and did you register the IMEI with the carrier or just pull an existing sim from a phone or tablet? I just installed my pro unit and would really like a connection not dependent on my phone. Thanks 😊

I will have to do a separate follow up video on that. Basically I just press the lock button on my key fob and it does a quick 2 honk sequence and then starts after 2-3 seconds. Still working great!

@@f150g33k do you know if it work for a 2000?

The only thing that had me eyeing the ten inch A6 over this one was it's ability to turn left and right like to face more towards the driver or passenger as well as up/down, so I'm really curious how good the viewing angles on this unit are from the driver's seat with it facing straight back. I'm also wondering whether the brightness settings go low enough for comfortable night driving and bright enough to be seen in sunlight, so please do report back and let me know if you get a chance!

@@TheYellingDingo Yeah for me the brightness is good for night driving. And it facing straight back also works well - great viewing angles with the size. I am going to do another video soon reviewing it after install and what apps/settings I have on it. Probably after Christmas. I am hoping I get a backup cam for Christmas that I will install on it. That is one of the main reasons I wanted a head unit like this with the size is the backup cam will be more clear. Thanks for checking out my video! Glad it helped.

@@f150g33k Awesome, I'm really glad it's working well for you and I hope it holds up well! Im wondering if you're going to try setting up/using the ATOTO AC-HD03 backup camera or at least utilizing the in-built image processor to enable their virtual surround view feature that's built into the nicer S8 units such as yours. I'd be interested to know more about how all of that works and if you actually need the atoto branded backup camera to make the feature work with an S8 or if you could use, say, a higher quality third party backup camera with a similar FOV that looks/mounts a bit better than the blocky cube shape of ATOTO's model. There are some pretty nice cameras available for our year-range of F-150 that are moulded/built into the tailgate handle and give a much better perspective/image than something mounted super low near the license plate. Everything i've seen on them says it's just a power and video wire, so I'd imagine that since the image processing hardware is inside the headunit, it'd really just be a matter of plugging in a video signal and setting things up with software, but maybe I'm wrong! Anyway, Thanks again for the vids and responses so far. If you figure any of that stuff out i'd really appreciate chatting about it!

@@TheYellingDingo You bet! Yeah not sure about the specifics on the backup camera. From what I understand, all it knows is its a video input. I think I am getting a different camera than the ATOTO one. Not sure yet. There is the more expensive like 360 degree or what not cam that they have that you setup and it shows a top down view of your vehicle with image stitching. I might get that one day but for now just going with a standard wider angle backup camera. I am going to do a vid of the installation and setup for that when I get it. Thanks!

As for the reverse camera, do u know if any camera will still give u VSV (birds eye) or is that only w the atoto camera? I want to get the handle camera for my tailgate, i know ill get the regular view, but not sure if itll give virtual surround view.. any input?

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

It really does lol.

Cool bro, thanks for commenting.

Nope. No spacers, no rubbing.

Hey man, try going here and entering your product info to get the install guide remotestart.mypushcart.com/

Were lock and unlocked color code is?

yeah man, do it! make a video about it. yeah I bet you miss it. sucks you arent in the Ford family anymore lol. so you buy that truck from your bro or just borrowing it till you buy something else?

f150g33k just borrowing till I get out of debt. Lol

Hey man! Awesome! Glad you liked the video. Do it and tag me in pics on IG when you have it installed. Curious to see if you would get any better performance. I think I need to do a spark plug job and I would see even better response. Going to do a video on changing the spark plugs here in a few weeks.
