Thanks for the compliments. The factory is a plug and play, and the speed sens wire is in the radio harness, it's a grey with black stripe.

 

I bought a unit from E-Bay (build date Aug. 2006) and it will not let me set the time and date. I hit the menu buttion and the time arrows are blacked out. I also don't have a Nav DVD disk, so I don't know if the map will work.
Do you think I need this re-program and can you tell me the cost of sending this to get re-program?
TIA
Thank you.

Did you buy yours from this vendor on Ebay?

Did you have it reprogrammed for your vehicle?

 

Bruinman and speedyracer the ford nav antenna is very inexpensive and should be the one that you use. You will not get a clock without a nav disc. It uses gps for the clock. Ozcar2 I would stay away from that retailer because he is listing completely incorect info right on the description. A mercury mariner cannot even physically accept that size radio and the mustang is not electronically compatible. The 06 expedition is also not the right size radio. These radios must be programed to the specific vehicle model for which it is being used or it WILL NOT WORK!! Also if the radio has been previosly configured with one of the eq curves that radio cannot be easily reconfigured for a different car. EBAY BUYERS BEWARE.
ps bruinman dom is not a member so don't expect him to respond but I am and can be reached at Micorp @ 800-245-6691 ask for Mark

 

This is a link to a .pdf of the owners manual for the Nav in the 2007 F-150

http://www.motorcraftservice.com/pub.../07pnssn1e.pdf

The clock is mentioned on page 28, under System Features. It says make sure the Navigation system is turned on, press Menu, press Date/Time

 

The manual mentions the system has an Aux input capability for an iPod, etc. Since the <2007 F-150s do not have an aux input jack, can one be easily added to the back of this system? Can you get an extension cable that plugs into the back of the nav system and then route it to the glove box, or where ever?

I just purchased a Ford Navigation system from the dealer I work for. Everything plugged in fine and the unit works. What does having the unit programmed do for you? Also, it doesn't seem to fit properly with my center dash panel. The top won't snap in. Thanks for your help. Dave

 

To get it to fit properly, you can dremel out the gray plastic behind the mounting tabs. If you dremel it out to the bare metal, it gains just enough for the top to snap in and look right. Hope that helps.

 

You mean the plastic infront of the 4 screw anchors? If you get Navigation from the factory are these pieces already removed? Thanks for your help.

 

would it be possible to post pictures of what you are referring to, or what needs to be dremeled out.

I was hoping it would fit without any issues.

 

Is the unit you purchased for a 2007 F-150 or is it a Nav unit for a 2006 Five Hundred or Explorer or whatever?

thanks

 

I have a 2006 Ford F150 SuperCab FX4, the unit is for a 2007 Ford F150 SuperCab.
