Aerpro FP9650 (SK/PK) - Double Din Install Kit to suit Ford Falcon FG - How To Use Video

[@georgemarijanovich]

If we need to buy some of the things that are needed then what is worth $600 on this kit?

[@Nathan-ry3yu]

Yes $600. I just got one for my FG with Keenwood DBA Hi res 7 inch double din head unit.

[@natesutcliffe]

Any additional detail available on how the camera retention harness and factory sub should be connected? Those are the only things I haven’t got working yet.

[@aerpro]

Hi, for installation assistance it is best to either contact your place of purchase or our customer service team on 03 8587 8888

[@zachwyatt8727]

mite be obvious to some but if everything is plugged in and not working or getting error still, check your fuzes incase it is blown.

[@jdwrld9999]

Hi, I’ve had an issue with my steering wheel controls going all screwed after installing this kit with a Sony XAVAX1000, it was working flawlessly before installing but now volume up is volume down and seek is changing modes, it only happens every now and then but i was just wondering if it may be a common easy fix? thank you.

[@GonNoomba1]

Might be in your settings/ general/ *go down to steering control*/ custom/ *then setup the steering controls again and this will allow you to make it what you wish

[@jdwrld9999]

@@GonNoomba1 Nah mate i’ve tried changing the settings and when i press volume down for example it’ll come up with volume up on the screen, at the moment volume up and down are both volume up for some reason. Thanks for the reply though.

[@aerpro]

@@jdwrld9999 it would be best to contact our techitians directly in regards to this as they will have many questions in terms of your setup. Our contact number is 03 8587 8888

[@joshuanair5779]

Happening for me too, hope this is a firmare error and can be fixed with an update

[@joshuanair5779]

Hey mate did you find a fix?

[@michaelgill477]

How do I know what looped wires to cut for my head unit no one has told me which ones to cut

[@aerpro]

Hi Michael, you will be able to access the patch lead instructions on page 2-19 of the included manual. This will outline which loop/s to cut depending on the brand of stereo you are installing. aerpro.com/sites/default/files/manuals/fp9650_manual_1.pdf?

[@YTZig]

Hello I’ve just recently installed this we a pioneer stereo everything work but I just can’t see the a/c modes on my screen and the sound will mute and unmute repeatedly while driving should I do anything

[@aerpro]

Hi, you will need to check the way the RCA's of your reverse camera are connected along with the settings of the kit. Please refer to the wiring diagram in the manual which indicates the correct connections of the reverse camera and other RCA's.

[@pepidav]

how wide is the phone mount spot? what's the maximum phone dimension?

[@h8nwrkSR5]

Not bad but the very top is a waist of space, should have had holes so you can fit some boost and temp gauges there

[@Nathan-ry3yu]

You can put your phone there

[@WogChilli]

FG Mk1 XR6; will this replace the ICC LCD display for the air conditioning?

[@aerpro]

That's right, it will be displayed on the new head units screen via the reverse camera input.

[@WogChilli]

@@aerpro Thanks for getting back quickly. I'm looking at getting the Kenwood DDX9020DABS 2DIN head unit, will this head unit display a/c?, only asking because the main reason I want this fascia upgrade is because my monochrome screen is no longer visible in displaying the climate settings. Please and thanks for your time.

[@aerpro]

@@WogChilli yes, the listed Kenwood unit will work for this application 👍

[@WogChilli]

Awesome solution.

[@thearchitect4726]

I am hanging to get mine in, now, ust trying to find out information on hvac display option and making sure it works on the head unit of my selection. Is there a name for the hvac display used in these double din i need to ask for, do they all have this feature?

[@aerpro]

Hi, any unit with an RCA style reverse camera video input is compatible.

[@thearchitect4726]

just to confirm, are you saying all double din head units will display the hvac status when the heating and air con switches are activated ? @@aerpro

[@thearchitect4726]

Thanks for the info mate, iIcontacted the company and they explained the video overlay from the HVAC controls is fend through the reverse camera input. I just wasn't sure how they did it and whether or not a specific unit feature was required, thanks for getting back to me. @@aerpro

[@linguinispinguini3650]

How do you get the reverse priority setting on the menu my one doesn’t have it

[@aerpro]

Hi, please refer to page 11 and 12 of the manual supplied with the kit. You can also access the manual at the following link. aerpro.com/sites/default/files/manuals/fp9650_manual_1.pdf?

[@jordzzz1439]

Hey guys love the kit I had it in my mk1 no issues but I have now swapped to a mk2 ICC and given this to a mate with his mk2 - he is getting a system comms error on start up after installing this kit. What are the option to get rid of it??

[@aerpro]

Hi, by the sound of it it would be best to replace the HVAC controls. If you visit your local car audio retailer they can source a replacement FGHVAC for you which should fix the issue.

[@bengibson3955]

Can I use this fascia to relocate my FGX Sync head unit while retaining full system functionality? I’m equally interested in doing the same thing in an FG with Kayhan double DIN head unit (that also manages HVAC). As I mentioned elsewhere in comments, I’m keen to have a digital OBDII gauge and logger setup close to line of sight.

[@aerpro]

Hi Ben, this particular kit is not compatible with the FGX series of Falcons. The kit can be used to replace a Kayhan unit which also manages HVAC as this kit also replaces the HVAC controls.

[@Lorderite]

What type of support is in place for the FG models with the reverse sonar setup as apposed to the reverse camera?

[@aerpro]

Hi Lorderite, if your vehicle has factory fitted parking sensors you will need to use the CHFO1B to retain their functionality.

[@howtofixyourtech9945]

Disappointing to see it didn’t follow the design that the old fascia had with the screen up the top.

[@limp-orange]

disagree. this design is an improvement to factory

[@howtofixyourtech9945]

@@limp-orange yeah but the phone mount looks crap

[@howtofixyourtech9945]

@@limp-orange I reckon they should’ve channeled the fg mk2 and fgx design

[@limp-orange]

@How To Fix Your Tech i get ya though. I can see why you would want the screen up top. It has its pros and cons either way. Regardless, I think we can both agree that the ICC controls are much cleaner than the factory and in black options for the fascia ooooooweeeeee

[@limp-orange]

There wouldn't be much need to mount your phone? Android auto and apple carplay run music and navigation wireless. The kit is in delivery and I figured I will ditch the phone mount i usually have on the vents and leave the phone in the centre console from now on

[@pancakeslxix4301]

Are all head units compatible with the climate controls?

[@aerpro]

Hi, all head units with a rca style reverse camera input are compatible as they require that to be able to display the climate control details.

[@WogChilli]

@@aerpro Does the climate control details get transmitted through RCA?

[@aerpro]

@@WogChilli that is correct.

[@mjcautoparts4744]

Hi guys, can the HVAC be controlled through any aftermarket headunit or is it only specific brands?

[@aerpro]

Hi, the only requirement of the headunit is that it has a reverse camera input so it can display the heater controls and menus on the headunits display.

[@mjcautoparts4744]

@@aerpro So you can't run a aftermarket reverse camera with this setup?

[@aerpro]

@@mjcautoparts4744 yes you can still connect an aftermarket reverse camera or retain the factory fitted camera (if applicable, with an additional adapter) as there is an RCA passthrough which allows them to be connected.

[@mjcautoparts4744]

@@aerpro Cool, thanks for the info

[@jimmybdeluxe]

What about models with a ICC?

[@SpaceManShortz]

Anyone else experiencing a weird system comms fault after installing the kit and head unit, I start my car and sometimes the headunit and facia kit wont work at all, itll display a system comms fault. Not sure on how to fix it.

[@aerpro]

Hi, there is a software update available if you are experiencing the comms fault. Best to contact your place of purchase and they can organise a replacement HVAC module for you.

[@SpaceManShortz]

@@aerpro Thank you, ill look into the software update, see if that works👍🏻👍🏻

[@LukeBeast101]

i have been experiencing the same issues and had my hvac module pieve swapped also, did you end up finding a fix to this?, possibly i have a faulty hvac or wiring harness ?

[@SpaceManShortz]

@LukeBeast101 lucky for you I found a fix. So what I did was I called up a local car audio place and they ended up just needing to update the whole facia kit. Apparently it was a common problem. Depending on where you go but for me it only set me back $100. You might even be able to ring aepro and ask if they can provide whatever it is to update the facia kit. Only problems I face now is sometimes my steering wheel buttons won't work, ive heard its common if youre running a Sony head unit :( hope this fixes it for you.

[@LukeBeast101]

@@SpaceManShortz thanks for that, i might need to do that , as my unit turns off and on randomly and has the system comma error , i believe the audio shop i went to updated my facia but i still faced the issue , so most likely will get them to replace everything as they have been fkn me around with this aepro facia for months now and havnt been very helpful in fixing my issues with my car with it

[@troncaz1011]

I installed everything as per the video and went to start everything, and a system comms fault has come up on my dash. Anyone had this issue?

[@themaddog9202]

Yea, you have to go to the place of purchase, get them to ring aerpro to order a new Hvac module

[@Messy304]

How long until we see the adaptor to fit this in the SZ territory?

[@aerpro]

Hi, unfortunately it is not only the programming that is different on the Territory it is also the plastics which are a different size and shape. There is currently no intension on creating a kit for the Territory.

[@21leemo]

What's the go with USB passthrough lads?

[@aerpro]

Hi Leemo, they are desinged to be plugged into the rear USB port/s of an aftermarket stereo to provide easier access.

[@Jayden-tj7gm]

Hi, will you be making one for the FGX at all?

[@stuartlam2077]

is this compatible with the Fg mk2 models ?

[@aerpro]

Yes it is.

[@mifo2000]

i hate that ugly ass magnet. if i buy a expensive facia im obviously going to get something with android auto or car play.. so no need for a phone mount?

[@Nathan-ry3yu]

You can pit your phone there so yes it is a phone mount

[@stephen865]

i would love something like this but fuck this one is ugly

[@BeastNZ]

if you can spare the bucks, get a kayhan unit instead

[@BeastNZ]

nice, basically turning an FG to a BA/BF, lolol

[@Nathan-ry3yu]

Atleast you can get a good head unit with it

[@BeastNZ]

@@Nathan-ry3yu yea, at the cost of nearly getting a linux or android unit that fits right where it suppose to go
