I did not get an HD radio equipped acm, but fm and am seem fine. Audio definitely clearer with the new acm. I have JL C1’s in the doors and dash so that’s an improvement too but I’ve had those since the second day of ownership!
You can do that, but I still argue the limitations of the base system are present. The audio quality is abysmal. The sync 4 is much better at preventing distortion at high levels. At least that’s what I am personally experiencing.
I have been looking for a good plug and play sync 4 kit for a while now. After a long time searching, I came across https://oemplusupgrades.com. Sam’s pricing was on the lower side for these kinds of kits, so I was hesitant on what I would receive. I was wrong! It truly was plug and play, other...
I went with BAP/tremor tinted taillights. Both come with the LED accent lighting from factory on xlt or lariat so they are plug and play no mod required!
I’m a ford tech, but I’m sure you can see the same wiring diagrams. Essentially, that middle circuit I de-pinned that is present on xl/xlt is absent on lariats. They only utilize pins 1 and 3.
So for that, essentially what I did is, I just de-pinned the connector for each turn signal. If you look at the picture attached, I basically just disconnected them and I then wrapped them in electrical tape so that I don’t cause a short circuit. That pin is for the park whites and doesn’t...
As a tech, I’ll tell you right now, that airbag recall PAID 2 hours. It takes longer to ensure nothing is damaged during removal. You have to remove a, b, and c pillar trims, and drop the headliner without creasing it. Again, something I am the only one in my shop who is entrusted to do this...
This ACM is horrible, and it does not like taking the new update. At my dealer, I am the only one the manager authorizes to do the 24S59 camera recall because I’m the most familiar and other than two ACM’s flat out refusing to take the update (requiring ACM replacement) I’ve had no issues. It is...
I’m a tech. Let me give you the insight on this atrocious “ford audio” system. Prior to the recall being released there were updates made available that would fix certain concerns like screen, freezing, and connectivity issues. For every five Mavericks that came in for an update for that one...
Anytime! Happy you got them working. And I always find it horrible when someone makes a thread like this and then just dips.
Be sure to share pics! Just confirming, your upper drls are dimming with the head/parking lights as on a lariat? Just curious.
Yup! I wasn’t going for “used” in a bad sense but more so “previously activated”. Those upper LED portions are controlled by a module that is woken up on the line line. I bought my new so I had to have them activated with the truck I had.
If the upper portions work, then I assume they are used? From what other people have told me, you don’t have to do the wiring, but I had already done it because that’s how it is on the lariat.
Glad they worked for you!
