Hi, Can y'all make a unit for the 2004-2008 model years? From what I see, it looks like this should fit in those models as well but I just want to be sure before buying a unit I can't even use. Yes, I could buy a different brand, but this is the only one I have found that has the look I want with the buttons not placed weirdly

[@cbxwarrior1]

[@yaboy6360]

Lmao i about died when i saw this

[@mplscarsales6652]

The impact sensors do need to be hit in order for the airbags to go off .

[@appleSUX1]

If you notice he did NOT disconnect the wires from the airbag. He simply took the screws off and moved it out of the way with wires still connected to it. You can do that on any vehicle without any issues. However, if you are going to "remove" the airbag completely and discount the wires from an Airbag, it is highly recommended to disconnect the battery FIRST. In any case, you do what makes you more comfortable, but he did NOT do anything wrong or incorrectly.

[@warrenosborne1748]

You don't have to mess with the airbag. Have somebody help you pull and hold the right vent panel just enough to get old radio out l and new one in. Me and my buddy did a 2009 F-150

[@ah4800]

They have capacitors anyway. Even with the battery disconnected they could still potentially have power. Front end collisions could potentially disconnect the battery. You think manufacturers would want no airbags in a front end collision?

I came here just to DIY removal of those panels and shit to replace a cheap ass a/c vent control door module that went bad on me. The replacement cost $10. I called a local Ford dealership to see how much, they charging $500 bucks to remove panels, harnesses and all those 7mm screws to do the work. The dealership is screwed now, thank you!!

You don't have to remove airbag, or the bezel around the gauges! You just made it more work for everyone watching this.

[@patrickoneal804]

It's ok to block the hazard light switch and the passenger airbag indicator?

[@Stinger.Solutions]

We have found that based on the user height, seat position, and other options, sometimes it is helpful to mount the display temporarily during installation, then make adjustments to the position, up and down, to get the best alignment. We do suggest finding a position that best allows you to reach the hazard switch, in the event that it needed. Slightly obstructing the passenger side airbag light is not going to effect anything, so that should not cause concern, that is an informative light.
