[QUOTE="rkneeshaw, post: 1319718, member: 24122"] A couple updates: I decided I didn't like the VHF radio audio piped through the stock sound system, since it means you can't listen to music on runs and stuff. So I installed an external speaker. This is the Uniden Bearcat BC20 and it wedges in perfectly here next to the drivers leg, near the gas pedal: [ATTACH=full]288059[/ATTACH] And with the trim reinstalled there is no perceptible loss of sound quality or volume at all [ATTACH=full]288060[/ATTACH] Then I decided to tackle the Sync 2 to Sync 3 upgrade. I have always hated the Sync 2 touchscreen, and Sync 3 offers carplay and android auto support, is much quicker and also is something currently supported and being improved by Ford too. I posted a lot of details on this conversion over in the Sync 2 to Sync 3 upgrade thread. The external speaker was really a pre-requisite for this too, because Sync 3 does not support the old media hub with the audio inputs in the center console, and now with the external speaker in place it's not an issue to lose that. And so out with the old: [ATTACH=full]288061[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]288062[/ATTACH] Installed new media hub with carplay compatible USB ports: [ATTACH=full]288063[/ATTACH] And here she is, everything is working great! [ATTACH=full]288064[/ATTACH] Next up will be an update on my rear springs. I wanted the truck to sit more level so I decided to swap for a set of Deavers. That will have to wait until after SnoBall though. [/QUOTE]
