What radio is that

[@NomadGarage]

@@geres2870 the link for purchase is in the description portion of the video.

The dealer quoted $1300 dollars to replace the control unit with an OEM one because it stopped working and was on max heat defrost. With your video and a $150-$200 ebay purchase i was able to do it myself. Thank you! For others who stumble across this video with at 2010-2012 Taurus OEM Part numbers: AG1T-18A802-DB - Heated and Cooled seats AG1T-18A802-CB - Heated Seats only AG1T-18A802-BB - NO heated or cooled seats with Dual Climate Zones AG1T-18A802-AB - NO heated or cooled seats NO Dual Climate Zones Also you will need a T9 Torx bit/screwdriver to get the radio/climate control module out of the trim. Some are deep in there so a bit and adapter might be to large to fit in the small holes.

[@imkyle4495]

i’ve got a 2011. have you had any problems with the carplay draining the car battery at all? just heard some things from a friend, wanting to make sure before i buy. also, if you got the model shown in the video, where does the climate controls show up?

[@hearmonheardjr8065]

You don’t have to start your car to put it in neutral . Just put your foot on the brake , put the car in accessory position and shift into neutral . I know because I’ve done this before on my 2015 Taurus . I Changed from the small 4 inch sync 1 screen to the 8 inch sync 3 with Apple Car Play. They make it seem much harder than it really is.

[@qualityreno9689]

The best video, for removal of the radio face plate on the Taurus, on KZbin! Thank you for taking the time to post this.

[@danmw77]

Dam that is alot just to put in a different radio. I miss the days with just the 2 prongs and pull the ild stereo out and slide in a new one.

[@NomadGarage]

I agree 101% with you .

[@hearmonheardjr8065]

Looking at the way that bracket is you can’t tilt it to make it flush with the dash

[@DeyWeezyWitDaMac]

In regard to steering controls: in the main radio harness you need to tap the wire in position 18 and connect it to the SWC + wire of your android unit. I did it today on my brother’s 10 Taurus with Sony system. It’s working flawlessly.

[@natecopley2196]

Was the radio module the sync module?

[@kevinthemayor]

Thanks so much! I have to take this whole thing out and replace the whole thing, just to replace the climate control switch, because the heater is stuck on high fan 90 degrees and only comes out the defrost and won’t turn off!

[@NomadGarage]

Yw man. Thanks for the support.

[@Fatinum]

Did replacing it fix it?

[@kevinthemayor]

@@Fatinum yes

[@kurtisguza3150]

Could you make a video on the wiring specially, if like to retain my backup cam and steering wheel controls, or talk me through it via phone or text? Thanks

[@natecopley2196]

Was it the sync module?

[@many3584]

the screen is slow because only has 1gb of ram but with 4gb should be running smooth thanks a lot for this tuto and the info 🙏

[@NomadGarage]

That is absolutely right. A little bit more money=more ram = smoother operation. Thanks for the support ✌🏽

[@kevinthemayor]

Thanks so much, do I need to disconnect the battery? I Actually have to change out my climate control panel and your video is the only one I found to show me what to do!

[@NomadGarage]

You are welcome man. No, you do not have to disconnect the battery for this procedure.

[@DeyWeezyWitDaMac]

Fantastic! You just saved my brother like 300 bucks..!!! Thanks...!!!

[@NomadGarage]

Yw man . Happy to help💪🏾

[@natecopley2196]

Was it the sync module?

[@DeyWeezyWitDaMac]

@@natecopley2196 It’s in the radio wiring harness.

[@dominicwatkins7529]

Can we get a link of all the supplies and radio and kits you have used please! Cartunes quoted me$ 1500 minimum

[@enriqueflores4580]

Could you explain to me how you connected all the audio wiring?

[@NomadGarage]

Yes. I will share the link for that in a new video I will be uploading soon. It is not complicated.

[@scutzarama]

Thanks alot you help me put a new look too my car

[@NomadGarage]

You are very welcome 😉

[@solusionfinalfinalsolution2341]

I give U a 10plus, very nice job, kind of lot of work to do but it’s ok !!!! Keep up the good work !!!!

[@NomadGarage]

Thank you. With your help we will keep it going 💪🏾. Dont forget to like share and sub 🙏🏾.

[@HatoldWillaims]

Can you control your ac controls from the radio screen or are you still only using the buttons on the controls

[@jordandayman1356]

What about climate control now with the new unit? On my 2011 SHO you can only adjust the climate control air flow settings on the screen. Does this new unit allow for climate control adjustment?

[@NomadGarage]

It does allow a full climate control management from the new screen. additional wiring is just needed for proper control.

[@Mranimal18]

Nice video bro very well explained thanks

[@NomadGarage]

Yw brother 🙏🏽

[@natecopley2196]

Can I use the sync module or what module does it have to be

[@DeyWeezyWitDaMac]

Did you wire up steering wheel controls as well? I’m trying to see if he will need an adapter or if I can tap into the wires in the factory harness and run them straight to the unit. THANKS!!!

[@NomadGarage]

No worries man. I have not yet wired the steering wheel controls on this one; but it will certainly work using another module I believe I mentioned in the video. I have done it on another install like that. Try running them straight to the unit and let me know. That is intriguing.

[@ArturoChio]

You have the wiring diagram?

[@willkeepemclean]

What did you use to remove the buttons from the bezel can’t figure out what kind of screws they are

[@NomadGarage]

I think they are torx15, I will have to double check

[@kdcasa9027]

Thank you for the help mate

[@dottthaprofit30]

Hey very helpful video...I'm thinking about doing the same to my 2011 but is there space for double din or did you just use a single din android radio. Dont wanna order the wrong one if it won't fix.

[@NomadGarage]

Thank you. The radio I used is a short back meaning almost flat. I believe there is a link for it in the video description. That will definitely work for this application with a Taurus that does not have oem GPS (Single din). If yours have a gps unit then you will have to proceed differently even if you still order the same radio. Also check out the radio review prior to purchasing it might help decide as well. Don't forget to like and subscribe 🙏🏾.

[@Jasonsneweverything]

I have an 11 my wife drives. Did you go through with it? Also did your car already have the touchscreen?

[@Darkness-ie2yl]

Nice work

[@NomadGarage]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@johnlogan1776]

I can't find the connections to use a factory unit, do I need a harness?

[@NomadGarage]

Yes you do. Look in the video description you will see what moule I had to use and also keep in mind mine was not a double din screen from the factory.

[@shamauri2619]

Hey I have a 2016 and I also have subwoofers. Can I still do this??

[@NomadGarage]

Yuuuuuuup same module same equipment same mod. The radio comes with a sounds connector ( Red & White) for the amp. You should be just fine. Email me with more details... will be glad to help🙏🏽

[@natecopley2196]

Did you keep cd box

[@lacieytv3282]

I have a 2015 Ford Taurus and the radio store told me I cannot change my radio and that no one can where can I buy that piece from and what is it called ??

[@NomadGarage]

The link for the module used in the video is in the description and that radio can be found on ebay as well. Thanks for the support .

[@donte543]

That's a lie go to best to Bestbuy or contact audio store. It's $200-$300 for a dash kit adapter plus $80 with other stuff Tv radio about $300. Look to spend about $700-$800

[@salaryinsuadiaarabia6368]

Thanks a lot

[@NomadGarage]

Most welcome

[@RantzCore]

To set the car into accessory mode to move the shifter without starting your car, don't push the brake pedal and hold the push start for 2 seconds. The dash will come to life and you will be able to shift out of park now.

[@NomadGarage]

Thanks for the heads up🙏🏾.

[@kaleemullah7022]

Hi Good Day Sir We Have FORD taurus 2010 Model How I Can Get Radio Code Can You Help Me

[@NomadGarage]

Hi, unfortunately you will have to get in touch with a ford dealership and provide your vin number to them in ordre to get the code. It is a paid service i believe. Goodluck Sir

[@georgemullen7563]

Which plug is for am/fm antenna

[@residentevil726]

Will this work on a 2013 taurus interceptor ?

[@NomadGarage]

The radio and module install will work, but I'm afraid the dashboard might look different on all police interceptors. I will double check on the fitment and let you know.

[@residentevil726]

Picking this up in a few hours will confirm, yes probably going to have to pull trim out for the radio / aux/Sirius buttons and set mine in there. Your videos help alot man , thanks!

[@NomadGarage]

@@residentevil726 no worries man . 4sure

[@residentevil726]

Several hours later... I've discovered on 2013 police interceptor sedan this does not fit the connection as it sits loosely and doesn't clip in , it also does not pass power to aftermarket unit, even splicing into a power cable 😔

[@NomadGarage]

Crappp😥. Send me an email with pics of your aftermarket unit and, the connectors you saw and the last 6 of your vin. I will see if there might be another way. Sorry to hear that. [e-mail]

[@abelincoln1976]

I went to the link, Auto zone link says it doesn't fit the car. I have a 2015

[@NomadGarage]

The video was made on a 2010 as you can see. However the same module which is not listed as compatible with 2013 worked just fine on a F.P.I.S .The radio unit on the taurus are segmented as follows ( don't quote me on the specifics): 2010-2012 Sync 1, then 2013-2015 Sync 2, finally 2016- 2019 Sync 3. I will say worst case scenario you can return the module if it does not fit your 2015. Sorry, hopefully this helps some.

[@abelincoln1976]

Thanks

Will this work on ford taurus 2010?

[@666hobart]

My friend the single piece unit isn't "dumb" as you say. It's very wise on Ford's part. They save millions by doing it this way and they've been doing it for over 20 years so where have you been. OH also, will all you nukids stop saying "SHOw" It's a S. H. O. ... Super High Output. Ok thx bye.. Tin snips for tha win!

[@NomadGarage]

That design is dumb . 1 button goes bad and the whole unit has to be replaced; it is dumb and thus they have been doing that for years to keep maintenance up for their benefit; my take is from a user / owner POV. Ford needs to get with the program. It's about time you do the same as well. Idk which kid you are referring to in your comment but keep it classy in here. Much appreciated

[@quentinjackson6162]

Hey I have a 2016 limited can I use this to change my radio?

Yes you can !!!
