I just bought an Alpine 9856 from a man at work for 125 included i-pod adapter and xm adapter. Anyway my question is will the adapter harness from his 2006 Mercury Mariner work in my 2004 f-150 and will the face plate adapter work also. Thanks.

No such thing as a lincoln mariner...

Just pop your dash apart and take a look. It's pretty simple...

 

My bad it's a mercury mariner. Popping the dash apart probally isn't a big deal if I could use both hands but with seven pins in my left wrist it might be a little trickey.

 

I'd be willing to bet that it will fit.

 

So did the shop that sold the new kit to me. They were wrong to. It may would have if I had the premium system b/c that's what the kit said it was for. Any way thanks for your help. I should have just took your advice in the first place. Came out much easier than i thought it would. Would have saved me $15 in gas. Also for people donig radio installs it can be done w/ 1 hand in ~ 30 mins if you get the right kit the first time.
