It's plugs right in the USB port under the hvac controls, so easy, no wires to cut or tape. I'll try to get a picture in the near future.
Great Idea!How about an access cover for the oil drain plug & filter on the 2.0 Ecoboost?
Mine is still a work in progress… thanks @Ford Motor Company for giving us a nice flat surface to work with (Not!).
I have to update the 3D printer model to fix some holes before posting the files. Working on the filter access next… stay tuned!
Not only is a very inconvenient using CDs, but it's also dangerous to swap them while moving, and leaving the cds and player in plain sight is just bait for any crackhead to break in.
DANGEROUS???? Oh my that's really grasping, I think the touch screens & phones in vehicles are more of a problem. I don't change them while I am driving, before I leave I pick one, & if there is nothing to listen to on the radio bands, I have something to listen to, I also keep them out of sight in the center console or 'glove' box, I was never one of those people that had them hanging from the sun visors. I have no idea what a spotify is & I am sure I don't need to, I just got my first smartphone a couple months ago, I can now make & receive calls & send a text. Like John Candy's character said in the movie Splash, "when I find something that works, I stick with it!"Not only is a very inconvenient using CDs, but it's also dangerous to swap them while moving, and leaving the cds and player in plain sight is just bait for any crackhead to break in.
If you have anything that isn't on spotify just rip yourself and play the files with your smartphone.
If you're concerned about quality, spotify can download in ultra high quality which will be indistinguishable from cd quality especially with a stock Maverick stereo.
I'm not saying that you or any adult can't choose an appropriate moment to change a CD. But, yes, it should be very obvious that grabbing the portable unit, opening it, removing the disc, putting it away, getting out another disc, inserting it and hitting play is a whole lot of time with your eyes and both hands compared to using a touchscreen or voice assistant.
This is not the type of CD player I am using, this unit is firmly mounted to the bottom of the dash under the HVAC controls & looks like a factory install & requires one wire to plug into the USB & is operated by the Mavericks radio/steering wheel controls, sorry if I didn't clarify that, & you are right one of those portable discman types would be a distraction for the driver, it slides around then you drop the CD & then, bang!
Well we will see, hopefullyThey are SO quiet!!!sound deafening seems unnecessary. I hope you'll be surprised!!
I had CD players and cassettes for 35 years never had even a close call due to them. I agree they are inconvenient but dangerous, I think a coin tray is more dangerous.
If you replace the speakers and add a sub you will have to install sound deadening material. The trucks rattles like crazy. It did make it way quieter from road noise as well. You just don’t know until you install it. Before installing it, it was a little louder than my wife’s model three. Now it’s quieter than the model three.
I did the chrome lettering on my Area 54 Mav, looks great, much better! I'm wondering - do the Wild Peaks tires add a lot of noise on the freeway?Well this is my list
1 Took those crappy Continentals tires off and put Wild Peaks on
2 Bought a complete set of LEDs from lasfit and replaced all my lights
3 Put a good phone holder in my cubby and connected my Android to the radio.
4 Put DLRs on the from of the Maverick
5 Put chrome letters on tailgate. MAVERICK
And lots of other thing
No not at all
I have had them on for 9000 miles on ever kind of pavement and cement roads from Tn to Ca. . This is my third set my Chevy Z71 Silverado , My wife's Cherokee and my Maverick Love them .
