[@alexbraga4989]

Btw you spelled it wrong

[@alexguerrero6182]

I can appreciate that you didn’t edit out your “lessons learned”. This gives people actual perspective of what installers encounter while doing installs. Turned out nice!

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Glad you liked that! Wanted you guys to feel like you're in the car going through all the steps with us

[@luisacevedo324]

Yes definitely agree no edit so you can see what really goes on unlike these other Jokers editing stuff and make it look like an install came from Alice and Wonderland

[@AlexisM-92]

I agree, it is nice to see that. At the same time, it would be nice to have a smooth install video as well so you could follow step by step. Just a thought.

[@jjulian1783]

Personally I’d prefer to keep the factory climate controls.

[@nicholasbezy4959]

Then the PAC kit is the one for you. It's also the better kit...

[@alextrainor2552]

Idatalink is better than the PAC

[@nicholasbezy4959]

@@alextrainor2552 Sure. Unless you're doing this Sony radio...

[@Cathul]

I would do, too. Especially on my Mustang where Metra also has two kits for. At least on my Mustang the HVAC interface from Metra is not really good. Kinda like a digital control, i.e. constantly switching between ice cold and really hot to mix the air to reach the desired temperature. In addition the blowers make some strange noises which aren't there with the stock controls. I therefor ripped the Metra kit out again and put in a SYNC3 retrofit.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

What do you all think of this install!?

[@michaelouellette7950]

Quality Mobile Video why wouldn’t you use the PAC kit that is actually going to work. So many problems from that crappy kit from metra

[@VinceR960]

Hell of a install. Much more complicated on this ford than my 4runner. Just a piece of advice there is a firmware update for the XAV-AX5000. You need both the USB 1 and USB 2 to do the update. Good thing you still have access to them.

[@MS7.7]

Man when they are going to release wireless powered HU. 8 years is alot for just wire protection. Sick install. Kinda tense install with all these modules and plugs. The end of the video is relief when everything worked.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Agreed!

[@cornbread057]

What kind of tape do you use on your wires?

[@itsTomate]

i was thinking that id want to get this...... but maaayyybeee not...

[@JRODW]

If the receiver had hdmi in it would be perfect. No extra modules and down scaling quality over composite.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Agreed!

[@pedroblas100]

Good video ... but you said the owner wants to keep SYNC.... why you still use the microphone

[@godbilla1991]

500$ for a dash kit.. the climate control replacement is cool, but it looks cheap compared to stock imo.

[@lonelytalking]

thats including kit or just for the work ?

[@Saltwaterdave]

Your attention to detail is amazing. The fact that you took things apart multiple time to make it right rather than just doing a sub par job is a true testament to your work ethic. Great job...love the Video. I am in San Diego...might have to drive up to you to get some things installed

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Thanks bud appreciate it!

[@FrezzyYT]

The Sony screen looks like a PSP

[@dave5point0]

A metra kit and Sony deck that both work? Go buy a lotto ticket!

[@monkeycbrown]

Do the steering wheel controls work?

[@SnaVibe]

J.C. Brown you obviously didn’t watch the video

[@JsGarage]

Don’t dig the HVAC control but nice Sony swap. The OE HVAC is just easier to use on the daily.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Thanks for watching!

[@JWimpy]

That's the best looking after market install kit I have seen. Looks almost factory. Question : The truck had existing Sync which has a built-in mike. Why did the Sony not utilize the Sync mike instead of having to install a separate mike?

[@nicholasbezy4959]

The Sony doesn't utilize it bc the radio itself doesn't retain sync. The module that was installed does. Because of this, SYNC operates almost completely independently of the radio.

[@FosterFarmsOk]

wouldnt it be nice if ford made it easy like they used to with the double din radios separate from the ac and other craps

[@cutweldngrind]

I can't get audio on front speakers after installation of this kit. My understanding is the Gray and White wires go on the 16pin harness and the remainder purple and green on the big 5834 harness. Would you have an idea on what to Check.

[@MDdred]

Great install and looks good but that Metra-99 is ridiculously expensive

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Yea they are, and they're the only Metra installation kit option available for the Ford F trucks

[@bjosh01]

I remember when I bought a pioneer head unit for my geo metro and had it installed in 15 minutes before I went out for the night. Oh how times have changed.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

[@pascaln.1459]

How is that tape called, which he wrapped around the cable at 10:20?

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Tesa Tape. Available here: www.qualitymobilevideo.com/51618.html

[@cutweldngrind]

I hate following instructions. I picked up a 2015 F150 for under $2000 and need a radio.

[@exception2]

Would be great if you press that INFO button (bottom right of HVAC LCD) and show us what happens. According to Metra, this is supposedly the retained Sync world. But Metra's terrible doc does not go any further into it. After you press INFO, does the screen retain 100% of Ford's 4.2" screen? including phone pairing options and a USB mp3 player? (assuming your factory USB port is still plugged into the APIM, or Sync module)

[@sheatalasmaynewa3330]

If keeping Ford sync? Why install the microphone? If vehicle was equipped with one?

[@cam_DA_Hawkdriver]

That's what I was thinking. The one that Sony supplied looks like one of those cheap ones that will not allow as clean of sound.

[@milkman1026]

That's a nice upgrade, but the amount of wires needing to be stuffed in the dash is nuts! I still enjoy doing these installs from time to time even with that said. Lol.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

It would have been even more challenging if it was a full sizes double din chassis!

[@milkman1026]

@@Qualitymobilevideo challenging, try impossible! 🙃

[@timjohnson780]

Got a question for ya. 2013 f150 had the 4.2 screen i have the metra kit 99-5846b kit. I'm not getting inside and outside temp displaying on the metra display which my original system had, had outside temp not inside. and i'm not able to get the rear cam to my deck instead of my rear view mirror. everything else is working good and pretty happy overall except the price but i get it there's a lot into this kit.

[@everss02]

Wish my Pioneer had 2 usb ports like that one has.

Great Video ! Can you guys do a indepth video on the Tuning , Thanks

What if i just wanted to run the interface and harness cause i have the 2016 lariat 8.0 system without sony , i dont care about the truck info on the radio i just want my leds to change color still on inside my steering wheel controls my sound and back up camera and usbs because i already have 2.. possible? i dont want the dash kit

[@getondwn]

Can I use this kit in a 2020 model?

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

No, this will not work for the 2020 model.

[@ElectronicsForFun]

doing installs in newer cars fucking sucks! it makes a standard din install look like plug and play.

Can you say spaghetti. Miss the good days wiring harness, plug in antenna and done especially ford with single or double din done.

After preforming this kit to my vehicle I am now hearing static going to that door speakers but it’s stop when the unit is muted or music is paused and ideas or help on this topic ?

[@ElectronicsForFun]

did you seriously tape up 1 really long wire? l would have just left it bares, it wouldn't have made a difference.

[@NicholasSwansburg]

Great video. I have a question, I have a 2007 Ford Mustang. Does your company have the same thing for the most part in the video for my car? As well as good quality back up camera and how to I stall properly.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

You mean a touchscreen/climate control dash kit? Unfortunately, these are only made for newer models of vehicles

[@Mogalize]

So this is completely plug and play? No reprogramming of anything? I was told going from the little 4" screen to 8" screen with NAV is a nightmare. This seems a WHOLE lot more simple.

[@ryannutter4669]

*Powers on stereo* *All airbags deploy simultaneously, and front ball joints fail* Joking... this is an awesome and meticulous install. Very nice to see you using solder during the harness build. On a side note, it's always fun to solder then realize you forgot a piece of heat shrink.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

LOL thanks Ryan! If only you all saw everything that doesn't make the cut and all those minor mistakes

How much is left to make this service change the system to another?

[@thegoodsathome]

In April I bought an F-150 that has this exact trim kit with a Kenwood Touch Screen. The radio is great but the touch screen AC controls ARE GARBAGE!!! The air only blows cool 50% of the time and now after 5 months of owning the vehicle the AC will not turn off. The touch screen does not function at all. The only function I have left is airspeed and temperature which are controlled by the buttons on the left side. Has anyone else encountered this and if so have you found a solution?

What you should have done is put the speakers on the outside of the truck during the install so you could have played Nickelback the entire time you were installing the new system. Huge fail on your part.

Quality install, nice work and thatnks for keeping the few OOPS moments. Anyone whos installed a car stereo has had theyre share and had to redo or rewire a OOPS. Looked great, except for the Metra touch screen climate controlls. Personally I would prefer the factory styke controlls.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Thanks Todd! Yea we wanted to change it up and put more of the minor mistakes and moments of trying to figure things out to make it more relatable. Glad you liked it!

[@weekendwork9049]

​@Qualitymobilevideo I see you have 3 red wires connected and 3 black wires connected together. Current installer is not getting the head unit to turn on. Thinking that's the issue. Thx

[@harbansgosal7062]

Someone can replace on my truc

[@lloyd18ish]

good work

[@brianr987]

No way I would put this Metra junk in my F-150. I had one in my 2012 Mustang GT. The illumination stopped working the day after the warranty expired. I contacted Metra, sorry, no replacement parts. I put my stock stuff back in and never looked back. Removing the knobs in favor of a touch screen and buttons causes you to have to take your eyes off the road to adjust climate settings. In this setup shown you’ll be taking your eyes off the road to do anything. The Metra stuff is junk, it will leave you driving around with a flashlight.

Does your phone have to mirror everything the radio screen sees? For example can you have texts open on your phone and waze navigating on the head unit at the same time?

Via Carplay/Android Auto it is not a screen mirror. If you do screen mirror, everything will show up, it's a complete mirror of your phone
