[QUOTE="inetjanitor, post: 1268279, member: 15213"] Yeah, the FO1 harness. Be aware you’re not going to use all the factory plugs. Only used 2 of the 4 on mine. Also used a Best Kits BRK540 kit, but only the side mounts. The front fascia plate will not fit, and does not allow the head unit to be moved up far enough to sit right in the ford face plate. This was the biggest source of pain and suffering in the whole install. Honestly, if I had to do it over again, I might have chosen a head unit that has a single din body with a double din screen. I think the Alpines are like this on some models. Since ford separated the screen from the head unit body, they mounted it abnormally high. I didn’t think to take pictures while it was apart. I will grab some when I add the trim ring this weekend, as even with a 6.9” display, there is still a visible gap around the Kenwood unit that needs cleaned up.

This is a pretty good picture of what needs removed. Now, please, do not use an air recip saw. Holy hell. Use an oscillating trim saw. Cuts through dash plastic like butter, and doesn’t have the nasty tendency to eat through everything else in the process. [ATTACH=full]282934[/ATTACH] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro [/QUOTE]
