1999-2004 Superduty Double Din Radio Install (POWDER COAT SNEAK PEAK)

[@glbell4024]

Thank you for the videos. I have used your videos to teach my grandsons that no matter what the limitations, they can do what ever they set their minds to do. Thank you for the inspirational videos. Keep up the good work.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Much appreciated!

@@LivingOnWheels quick question my neighbor has a 99 super duty f350. He's having problems with his factory radio was there a factory amp in the truck and if so where's the location? Basically he's ordered another factory radio on ebay put it in and he's having an issue with his driver side door speaker every time he turns the radio on it pops in the radio won't work he put new speakers in both doors and still nothing that's why I'm thinking of something to do with the factory amp if there even is one? Ty in advance 👍👍

[@LivingOnWheels]

Simple Man there were no factory amps in this generation as far as I am aware. What do you mean it pops in the radio?

[@hosshoss4920]

FINALLY!! a good video on KZbin that explains everything and has good directions!!!! Keep the videos coming!! AWESOME

[@LivingOnWheels]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Pypical]

The install kit came with a little plastic bar to slide under the radio that covers up that area that you were talking about has the markings from the Dremel

[@cruisinthru3916]

Good job on the holiday break. We all need to slow down and get together with family and friends. Go at your own pace and the right ones will be with you. Im considering a double din for my 04 so this i a timely video. :)

[@downunderjuice]

Thanks for all the video's. You and Nick are the best. Cheers.

[@brianhouk543]

Can’t wait to see that turbo installed!

[@brandons9398]

Thanks for this vid, I’m planning my system now, this vid is a big help!:)

[@bruce-bruce7975]

That came out looking really really nice.

[@erikdenman7790]

I installed an older Pioneer double din in my F250. An issue was the unit would only store 3 bluetooth devices. To get to the menu to be able to erase a device, you had to have the green wire hooked up, which I didn't since I had no reason for it, similar to your thoughts... very frustrating! Check yours for this issue. Great channel, keep it up.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Interesting. I don't think I will run more than a devise or two on bluetooth, especially with it having apple car play, but I'll look into it. Overall I am real happy with the radio so far.

[@FixItNick]

Yea buddy!!!!

[@rivett40]

I had to put a slight dent in my pusher intake to get it to fit but I also have the kc turbo I also did ceramic coated manifolds and up pipes

[@LivingOnWheels]

Interesting. I guess we'll see how mine fits

[@cudawebber]

Glad to see you back

[@yigaldekel]

Thanks for the vid, I wish you didn't skip/fast winding over the harness

[@LivingOnWheels]

Don’t worry too much about the harness. It really is almost completely matching colors. On top of that, both your harness adapter and your radio harness should both have wiring diagrams if there’s wires in question.

[@robertkwiatkoski1292]

Like the touch screen. My truck bounces pain for current aftermarket toggles. Someone told me don't put a touch screen in? Factor springs on a 2000. Thank you.

[@LivingOnWheels]

The bouncing is just as much of an issue with the touch screen I’d say. I just rest my fingers on top of the dash to stabilize it and use my thumb to adjust.

[@tannerdavis1045]

Keep up the good work! Always love the videos! That powder coating is BEAUTIFUL 😊😊😊

[@Catz05]

Yes thank you

[@RicardoCastillo-yn4pt]

Hi good job. What are the green buttons on the left side of the dashboard ? Thanks

[@LivingOnWheels]

They are auxiliary switches that I installed for accessory lighting

[@RX7GSLSEowner]

Still looking forward to the fuel system video!

[@mulletguy1976]

Video starts at about 12:30. You're welcome.

[@kg4boj]

Yeah I gave up and just figured it out on my own. I finished the job while he was still rambling. Have to give a thumbs down for that

[@brianczeiner5612]

those dremel marks can be cleaned up with a heat gun. Warm the area and you will see the scratches disappear. Check some plastic interior restoration videos here on youtube.

[@Superman-xr1oh]

The word you're looking for is capacitive touch screen. The pressure type is called resistive touch screen.

[@MrQuickcron]

Would love for someone to do specifically a tutorial on how to hookup the parking brake wire. Like in depth cause I haven’t found any online anywhere for a 2001 superduty f250

[@LivingOnWheels]

Honestly, most people just bypass it with something like this. amzn.to/3nU4dYR

[@Pypical]

Mine needs a speedo sensor too so I ran a bypass

[@mitchellfay5725]

Also with the kc300x you can watch your fuel gauge drop lol loving the turbo. Install took forever as the stock turbo hasnt been touched and 19 years of that rear clamp being on proved a pain to take off. But loving the 66/73 1.0 kc300x

[@LivingOnWheels]

What injectors are you running?

[@mitchellfay5725]

@@LivingOnWheels stock as my wife found my hidden savings for 238cc 😢. Literaly seconds away from purchasing and she says, "hey, I noticed you transferred some money out of checking.." oh the Joy's of marriage. So probably will have to wait until this summer. Even with stock injectors I notice a difference. It hits 25psi NOW when I smash it as the stock gradually built boost. If I remember right you already have 180cc so you should see even a bigger improvement than me as I noticed a big difference with just stock injectors.

[@tylerdunn6578]

Definitely modern and I like the mic voice command close enough to recognize you or are you repeating yourself alot. It's looking cool though!

[@LivingOnWheels]

Works first try almost every single time so far.

[@garyhopson7521]

Do you have the part numbers for that radio and all the wiring that you put in your truck

[@LivingOnWheels]

Should all be linked in the description. Although I don’t think that specific radio is sold anymore.

[@henry-cwhite1140]

After the install if you have to remove the radio what are the steps? I want to add Xm now.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Just pull the outside tabs inward and pull towards you. They’re just clipped into place.

[@Gkelly_7.3]

Cant wait to see all that powdercoating installed I'm debating on that color or chrome on my set up

[@pronghorntractorwork]

The terms you are looking for are "resistive" (squishy screen) and "capacitive" (glass screen).

[@LivingOnWheels]

Yup, those are the ones.

[@rogerbarber8201]

I have a 2004 f250 I seen where I can use the wire harness like you have the 16 pin one or I can use another one that's non Amp what's dose it really matter ?

[@LivingOnWheels]

Im not sure why you wouldn't use the factory plug unless you're building a fully custom amped system. Even then you'd still use the factory plug.

[@norman_sage2528]

Great upgrade. I know the Ford size is a bit small for double din. I decided to put in a single din. Not as nice, but looks clean.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Yeah I ran my single din for a long time up until this time.

[@adampark8341]

The part of installing a radio is showing the wiring

[@LordRocco777]

Did you like this one better or the new Boss one you installed? I want decent power for my subs.

[@LivingOnWheels]

I think they’re pretty comparable to each other. As far as sub power go, the amp is what matters most for that. The head unit just sends the signals.

[@ldisaak32]

ummm all the stuff you zoomed through is the stuff we need to see!!! How did you attach the radio? how does it lock in??? How did you install the brackets?

[@LivingOnWheels]

The radio bracket install kit attaches to the sides of the radio and the whole unit simply slides into the cutout made. It has little clips on the sides that hold it in place. Super simple.

[@jolenemolter8527]

So disappointed you weren't more technical in the steps for removing the dash panel. Picked up on a few other tips you had though. Good Job Overall. I especially like your clean and well spoken presentation and clear pronunciations.

[@LivingOnWheels]

I appreciate it. The dash itself is very easy. It is just held on my clips and pulls out strait towards you. Of course unplugging the connections on the back too.

[@97fdexp]

Can you share what the large connector on your auxiliary switches is, where did you get it? How is it pinned out? Nice job on the stereo install.

[@LivingOnWheels]

I actually built it all myself so its all custom, but I did film all of it and have a full build series on it.

[@97fdexp]

@@LivingOnWheels Ok, I will check it out!

[@christopherfiore2534]

Where is the vss wire on the 04 f350

[@LivingOnWheels]

I have no idea

[@tonyrevels4436]

I have the same unit , want to upgrade. And I can’t figure out to get the dam thing out!! HELP

[@LivingOnWheels]

If you’re racking about the OEM unit, then they can be pretty stuck in there. If you are referring to the aftermarket one, depending on how the trimmed the plastic it could be pretty tight as well but it it’s clipped in on the sides and pulls out towards you. If you really need to just pull the whole dash panel with the radio still attached.

[@tonyrevels4436]

@@LivingOnWheels so if I pull on the black metal trim pieces that came aftermarket it should come out

[@LivingOnWheels]

@@tonyrevels4436 it should. I used a flathead screwdriver to pry in one side at a time. That helped the little clips it has to get past the dash panel.

[@stevenwalden9030]

I have a 2004 f250 v10 lariat wat size screen should I use

[@LivingOnWheels]

double din in that truck should fit the exact same as this.

[@patparker2000]

hey brother, I know this is a bit of an older video but I'm rewatching it because I just got the same radio to put in my truck. I just noticed in your truck in your lower dash you have what looks to be like secondary glove box instead of the old ford "trash hook" where did you get that and am I right that it is a secondary glove box?

[@LivingOnWheels]

Its just the factory ash tray.

[@patparker2000]

@@LivingOnWheels Oh wow didn't know they had them there! thanks for the reply! i wonder if anyone has ever converted it into one like what is on the 6.0's how they have a drivers side glove box

[@ronaldjennings8057]

Question of how to do I hope you get your turbo installed I'm sorry about whatever you do in your life that's tragedy but anyway I wish you the best

[@AmalgmousProxy]

FYI you can install the lower panel from a newer f550 that has the factory aux switches and you gain a compartment. Needs some slight modification to fit, but it's a nice upgrade.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Yup. I definitely thought about going that route. Just decided not to.

[@briandhoward6137]

Man the link now sends you to a unit that coat over 900.00

[@LivingOnWheels]

Yeah… unfortunately it looks like they stopped making that unit and the price just skyrocketed.If you look for capacitive touch screen double din radios you can usually find some similar ones down around the $300 mark.

[@jackmcdevitt4723]

Can you pls add the link of the microphone?? Or send it to me? Idk what it’s called but I need one

[@LivingOnWheels]

The mic I’m using is the one that came with the unit.

[@drock7686]

I Looked at your link for the head unit on Amazon and it’s not $250 it’s $650???

[@LivingOnWheels]

It was $250 but apparently the price spiked right after I bought it… not sure why 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Pypical]

They probably sold out and now it’s showing another seller

[@VASYL198]

Hi! 🚹 please check MPG now and later MPG with NEW TURBO

[@LivingOnWheels]

Definitely will be!

[@tylerdunn6578]

Oh yeah does the mic have noise cancellation

[@LivingOnWheels]

Honestly not sure

[@jrfrailey]

How does the radio actual mount?

[@LivingOnWheels]

The tabs on the edges have clips. Just push it in and they lock into place on the dash bezel. It’s actually super sturdy.

[@CameronRocco]

whats the best headunit now?

[@LivingOnWheels]

For the price, I’ve been pretty satisfied with the most recent one I installed on my latest truck.

[@CameronRocco]

@@LivingOnWheels Thanks, I have seen reviews saying it is underpowered for subs. Did you like the last one more?

[@ronaldjennings8057]

I'm sure you know by now yeah messed that stuff up with masking tape when you do trimming that way if you hit anyting just going to miss the tape up at the faceplate pretty sure I mean but yeah good job dude

[@Tahoe0512]

Would you be able to give a link for a plug.

[@LivingOnWheels]

If you are referring to the USB plug, I go it in the video description.

[@Tahoe0512]

I am referring to a plug that you have mentioned during a video that one of the cable needs to be connected to somewhere in order to watch video while not parked. You said that you are waiting for it.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Ahhh. Yup, I just added that to the description as well.

[@nerdyhooligan-3740]

How did you do that switch set up ?

[@LivingOnWheels]

Got a whole video series on it actually 👍🏻 it’s 3 parts. Here’s the first one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIDbnKSXf9qkqas

[@akp6743]

where is your amp in this install?

[@LivingOnWheels]

I have an amp for my sub under my driver's seat. No amp for my door speakers.

[@Silverhks]

I started this comment asking if you had considered any of the Android units for their extra use with apps like Torque. Then it sunk in that Apple Carplay was a big item for you and that they probably aren't compatible at all. So now this is just a long engagement comment....

[@LivingOnWheels]

haha well I appreciate the engagement comment! I did not look into any of the android products. 1) I use and iphone 2) I have all my gauges on my edge cts and so I wasn't looking for that type of functionality.

[@Tractorsandnonsense]

Sounds a little like Trailer Park Boys' Ricky there at 23:30 "I'm not going to play it because of KZbin copyright..... Plus, it sounds good, so..". (Ricky would have added "so go f' yourself"

[@380Banshee]

Video starts 10:00

[@The08roadking]

Will this radio work with android phone?

[@LivingOnWheels]

I don’t think so.

I have that same radio in my f250

[@ronaldjennings8057]

I see where you put the microphone yeah keep it away from the window to get a lot of wind center of the dash is pretty good but you got a good place I'm getting water don't have one I think it's in the radio by itself don't have a mic would that be good or bad I don't know and it's supposed to have Bluetooth all that stuff USB port built into it you don't have to put it on the outside in the radio I don't know I'm new attitude myself my friend I'm just asking have a good day

[@johnclark3097]

Hell amigo, thanks because you answered the two questions I had before I started my install but this was a thirty minute video... I appreciate the info but I didn't need ten minutes of why you're doing it and five minutes of wiring! If you can't match colors take it to a flipping shop to have it done. Who needs this useless BS my friend? Thanks anyway amigo

[@LivingOnWheels]

Try to remember to stop thinking so much about yourself. Despite how simple it may be, at some point every single one of us had never done anything like this before and a having someone explain things can really help. So for people like you, feel free to skip ahead. It takes basically no effort.

[@jimschloe]

how do you manage to talk about everything except actually removing the old stereo. You seem like a nice guy but damn...

[@LivingOnWheels]

Because I didn’t remove the factory stereo for this. I removed and old single din unit. The factory unit has two holes on each side that you need to push the right tool into, then pry each outward and then pull it out towards you. If you can reach up behind it, it can definitely help to push it out. They tend to be stuck if they’ve never been out before. Coat hanger can work to release the latch but then you’d definitely need to push from the back.

[@kg4boj]

5 minutes in and this dude just loves to listen to himself talk...and talk.... and not even anything about radios. thumbs down and I'm not going to bother with the rest

[@jaytibbles2223]

Lots of blah, blah blah. LEFT OUT TO REMOVE PANEL!

[@LivingOnWheels]

The irony in the typo of this comment is on point haha. The panel is held on by a bunch of clips. Just pulls strait off. If you still have the factory radio then it might have two screws above it that if tight enough can hold the panel on.
