When you use it with a Kenwood or Alpine compatible radio you also get performance gauges, tire pressure monitoring, check and reset engine codes, and back up camera/visual parking assist. When you use it with a Pioneer compatible radio ( ) you get the above plus the retention of Sync for calling and as an additional USB port/media player. When used with a non-iDatalink compatible radio, you cannot retain Sync, but you can retain steering wheel controls and back up camera (if camera image shown on 4.3 inch screen). This solution can be used with any 2DIN radio (and 1DIN too, but we don't provide any way to close up the other half of the hole). The dash kit is now in production and we expect to have it available for sale in late May. The kit includes: Dash Bezel with HVAC Controls, Storage pocket with flush-mount ports, T-harness for radio/Maestro RR, Back-up Camera harness (for if the camera image is in the 4.3 inch screen), metal radio mounting brackets.

Power wiring entering the cab on front passenger floorĪmp rack installed under rear seat in cubbyĭSP rack installed behind back seat where stock B&O amp and subwoofer was mounted Power wiring with TechFlex ready to be installed Well enough of me rambling on, let’s get on to the pics.Īmp rack and DSP rack ready to be installed I mean the panels came off easy, there was plenty of room in the wire ways, and the power wire fit perfectly utilizing the grommet in the front passenger floor. I also have been very surprised at how easy it has been to install stuff in this truck. This method has proved to work out very well. I decided early on for this build that I would try as much as possible to build things in plug and play modules so I would spend less time installing in the truck. Well this last Thanksgiving holiday, I finally had some time to work on the installation and was able to complete Phase 2 of my audio build. Here is a diagram showing the configuration: Multiple sizes of TechFlex and heat shrink Speaker plugs Metra 72-5602 for front and rear door speakers Stinger 4 AWG wire for power and ground for amps Hertz Mille Pro MP25.3 in the front A Pillars Hertz Mille Pro MP70.3 in the front A Pillars Hertz Mille Pro MP165.3 in the front doors JL Audio XD700/5v2 – not using the sub channel So Below is the list of components and installation accessories that I am using for this build:Īxxess AX-DSP-A2B2 in order to interface with B&O system Phase 5 – Installation of sound deadening materials and speakers into the rear doors. Phase 4 – Installation of sound deadening materials and speakers into the front doors. If all goes as planned, I should have some time during Christmas holidays to get this done. I will be installing the pods, sound treating them, and then covering with vinyl to match the dash. Phase 3 – Installation of mids and tweets in A pillars. At this time the stock door speakers will be amped so I can have some sound. Phase 2 – Installation of amp rack, dsp rack, and subwoofers. Phase 1 - Building the box for the subs, amp rack, and rack for dsp and axxess unit. Due to my limited spare time, I will be doing the is build in Phases as outlined below. The new system will utilize the stock Sync 3 Head unit and consist of a 3 way active front stage with two 10 inch subwoofers under the rear seat. The only difference in the two is that for this build I added a dedicated sub amp for more power. I already had most of the components since I had this system in my last truck which was a 2014 GMC SLE. I hope this thread helps others that are on the quest for a great sounding system.Įver since I got my new 2018 F150 Lariat SCREW Sport with B&O factory audio back in February of this year, I have been planning and preparing to upgrade the audio system. They have helped me so much with how to install things and with different ideas for installation. First of all, I want to thank everyone that has posted threads of their audio builds.
