The body shop uses Diamont paint. It is base coat clear coat. www.billupsclassiccars.com

 

Does the display on the dash maintain the rest of the functions?

 

I'm curious to see if anyone has installed a single DIN head unit in their '09.

 

The dash kit comes with a storage pocket that would go under a single din. The display just shows the inside, outside temp.,fan speed and says F 150 Built Ford Tough.

 

Do you use your phone? Also, does your Head unit work with the Steering wheel fonction ?

 

Steering wheel functions do not work with my configuration. PAC makes a part that I might try later. I have a remote that I use already so it is not a big deal. The Pioneer has Bluetooth phone and Bluetooth audio that works with my Iphone. I have a plug that I wired through my console in front of my shifter that I can hook my phone up to as well. With it plugged in I can controll all of the functions of the Ipod with the stereo. The model I have is a D3. The newer models have even more functions and can even recieve Video off of Ipods and Iphones.

 

That looks much better than the metra. I am going to get that kit for mine.

 

I'm new to the forum and I apologize if the answer to these questions is already here somewhere but I haven't been able to find them. I have a 2009 xlt with single cd, no steering wheel controls, no sync and no sub and would like to install an aftermarket head unit.

- What harness do I need?

- Will I lose any other functions?

- Is there anything else I should know or will need?

Thanks for your help.

 

Nice job, the gloss black look great!
