Can anyone with a factory navigation unit help me out with my settings. If you push 3 and 6 at the same time and enter the diagnostic menu, can you tell me what yours says under the config menu for SWC and Speed signal and other lines? I have an 04 F150 Lariat with sub and steering wheel controls. I bought a factory nav unit from an 06 Explorer but the backlighting, speed signal, and steering wheel controls do not work right. I can't find anyone who can program this radio. All of the old numbers listed on here no longer work.

 

Can anyone tell me if a 2007 F150 and a 2004 F150 are compatible as far as radios go? In other words, would a factory navigation radio from a 2007 work perfectly in an 04, as long as the options are the same, like audiophile and steering wheel controls?

 

I am using a 2008 Mercury Mariner Nav in my 2005 Screw King Ranch........works perfect!

 

the radios do have to be programmed for the f150. There was a guy in ebay who did this, he did it for my radio. Search in ebay. Mine was out of a ford edge and it needed programming.

 

You could also try United Radio, they are in NY. They can re-program it for you. I wired in a nav unit to my non-nav 2008 Explorer, and they were extremely helpful. They sent me diagrams of what wires needed to be cut and spliced, and I didn't even buy anything from them!

 

FYI for anyone interested... Took my radio to AER a Ford Authorized Radio repair shop here in Kansas City. They fixed me up. Turns out I had a dead touchscreen. They replaced the screen and reprogramed the unit to my truck. Now the GPS, illumination, and stearing wheel controls all work perfectly. Couldn't be happier. Also came with a 1 year warranty!!
