    GEN 1 2012 nav aftermarket upgrade

    I swear we are missing something simple here. It is possible to have a bad RCA, but i can't think of one time where that was actually the cause of my issue. Take a look at this link, there are some pictures of the harness plug and the wires that need tapped...

    GEN 1 2012 nav aftermarket upgrade

    Any chance the camera is bad? Did it work recently? i guess it could be a bad RCA, but that is really unlikely. Did you verify RCA wire polarity with a volt meter? Maybe swap the leads real quick and see if they are reversed someway.

    GEN 1 2012 nav aftermarket upgrade

    So, no disrespect intended, but let me ask a couple questions. 1. Is the truck on while you are testing? ACC is not going to always cut it. 2. How are you testing the wires? If you happen to be trying to push the stripped wires of the RCA into the front of the connector, for instance, it will...

    GEN 1 2012 nav aftermarket upgrade

    The radio antenna is pretty straightforward, just get a Best kits BAA20 radio antenna adapter. The backup camera is already powered by the truck so you only need to deal with signal. 2 wires, positive and negative are in the 10 pin harness that is not connected to the new maestro harness. You...

    GEN 1 2012 nav aftermarket upgrade

    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...

    GEN 1 2012 nav aftermarket upgrade

    I have just done this very install into my 11 screw. More than happy to share some of the lessons I’ve learned if you want. DNX874s, idatalink maestro, retained factory BU cam, usb, and aux. no sync used anymore. All kenwood functionality. Paul Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Need some help. Kenwood install in 11 nav

    I like these guys, but it’s not quite the same dance. They get to replace the dash bezel. I do not. My climate controls are not knobs, but buttons. And the aftermarket bezel will not fit the 11-12 trucks. Harness is even very different so I can’t go get a 13+ set of hvac controls even if I...

    Need some help. Kenwood install in 11 nav

    Those of you that have tossed that pos factory radio/nav and gone aftermarket. What install kit did you use to mount the new shiny? I got a Best Kits kit and it sucks. Won’t fit right within the factory dash panel. Did you have to remove any material from the dash? I’m all setup with...

    Day time Running lights....

    This worked like a champ. Couple quirks, but after what seems like forever, I'm finally rid of those stupid DRLs. Thanks guys. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Help with DRLs, please.

    Nick, that's what I thought until my dealer gave me that no programmable options line. Maybe I need to call another dealer. Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Help with DRLs, please.

    My 2011 Raptor was originally Canadian. Then it got shipped to the US and I bought it. Since Canada requires DRLs I am stuck with the lights on and I want to turn them off. Took it by the dealer and asked them to turn them off in the BCM. Dealer says there are "no programmable parameters" that...
