  1. Crutchfield research on the non B&O system incoming...

    Having pulled apart both the B&O, and the non -B&O. I can 100% tell you that the headunit does not have active crossovers for the tweeters. The capacitors are on the back of the OEM tweeter housing for the Non-B&O system. This is confirmed by Ford's wiring diagram as well. Again, the...
  2. Crutchfield research on the non B&O system incoming...

    The Non-B&O tweeters are not discreetly amplified. They are wired in parallel with the front door woofers. The stock tweeters 100% have an in-line capacitor ( its attached to the back of the tweeter housing) . If you are installing new tweeters, they should either be actively amplified with...
  3. Crutchfield research on the non B&O system incoming...

    The Maestro wouldn't have a problem with the Sync3 system, per say. As it stands right now, there isn't a harness for the Maverick, or software, or dash kits. With enough power tools, and a strong enough will, almost anything is possible... :) Losing fordpass remote start functionality...
  4. Crutchfield research on the non B&O system incoming...

    As it stands right now, the unit is unreplaceable. There might be some innovative dash kits ( Maybe an Alpine restyle kit) EVENTUALLY. Sucks you are having issue with your radio, thus far my stock unit has performed flawlessly. I did a software update when I Received the truck, and have...
  5. Crutchfield research on the non B&O system incoming...

    Yep, I figured the ford specific focals, powerbass, and similar systems would fit PnP. The manufacturers haven't listed them officially for the Maverick, so we can't technically either. The corporate and marketing beauracracy takes a bit of time. Good research on your end though! Those...
  6. XLT stereo is terrible 🤨

    Wanna really hear the details? Subscribe to Tidal or Qobuz, and play it via android auto. Will put BT or Sirius ( double compressed via BT) to shame. I used to listen to satellite radio, but stuck to comedy, or talk shows as even my upper teir Spotify account has better resolution and...
  7. Crutchfield research on the non B&O system incoming...

    So, the door woofers and rear speakers will almost definitely have a harness, even if not right away. The dash tweeters... 50/50. often times tweeters are a hardwire swap. Powerbass will do ok. From what I gather there will be fitment options aplenty. If you are not wanting to add an amp...
  8. Crutchfield research on the non B&O system incoming...

    Not sure when they will have the full measurements for the B&O, as someone with that system has to let them do the research. "Premium" OEM systems can be a pain to work on/upgrade due to crossover networks, OEM tuning, and odd speaker impedances. A lot of the fitment for the standard speaker...
  9. Crutchfield research on the non B&O system incoming...

    Research team just finished up with work on my XLT with Lux and 4K. The Lux and 4K won't affect the audio system though. Should have wiring info, speaker measurements, etc. up on the site in the coming days. This should help with what speakers will fit, and what wires can be used to for...
  10. XLT stereo is terrible 🤨

    I'm late to this party. But I am a product specialist at Crutchfield, and just took delivery of my XLT with lux package. Our research team will be getting my truck in to their garage this coming week, and then in the next few months, we will be planning and executing a pretty extensive...
  11. Why no wireless Android Auto?

    My XLT has the base system. I guess maybe I got lucky and being at the very end of the 2022 run, the software got it's glitches out, as it's wired AA connection is just as stable as any OEM I've come across... And I LITERALLY do this for a living. Anywho, I could get into the detailed...
  12. Why no wireless Android Auto?

    Yes, and the Sana Cruz doesn't come with LED headlights until the higher trims, and doesn't offer integrated trailer brake packages at all, and still comes in more expensive at each trim level than the Maverick... I know this as I bought a SEL with activity package Santa Cruz in Early march...
  13. Almost fell out of my chair

    That is WILD. I've found Santa Cruz's are pretty easy to find. Most dealerships around here are marking up between 1-3K. I found one for MSRP with OTD signed pricing from the sales manager within 1 hour of calling. 500 dollar reservation, and it should be delivered in the next week or so...
  14. I may be jumping ship

    With no certainty about when things may get smoothed out, and me getting stuck in shit weather twice already this year with my little Nissan and me needing basic truck capabilities for several home projects in the next 4-5 months.... There are well equipped Santa Cruz's at several dealers...
  15. Android Auto literally useless. Anyone else?

    I figured a satirical Jeopardy reference would've landed, but maybe you shun television as well. Either way, did the off-topic, arguably pretentious, and weirdly car-specific flex of a deflective monologue that followed you missing the joke make you feel a bit better about your proverbial...
  16. Android Auto literally useless. Anyone else?

    Android Auto, and CarPlay to a lesser extent, is largely phone based, with minimal software on the Headunit. Due to this, the make and model ( quality) of the phone, as well as the available RAM and condition of the OS on your phone have HUGE impacts on AA's stability. Higher end phones will...
  17. 10" wide screen

    My wifes 2021 CX-5 Carbon Edition took a while to get used to center knob. But now.....NOW I absolutely love it! Like, all car makers should copy it, its SO much safer to use, and once you learn it, way easier to navigate and maneuver within the system!
  18. 📣 1/13 Scheduling Email Received Group [EMAILS NOW ARRIVING!]

    My mother just got admitted to the ER with Congestive heart failure and is awaiting an Aortic Valve replacement, We are looking at up to 2 feet of heavy snow in VA this weekend, and my Bother, Sister-in-law, and 5 year old nephew cancelled their trip to visit us ( they live across the country)...
  19. Can a Non Luxury XLT have remote start enabled on the FOB?

    iDatastart will come out with one for sure. Minimal wiring , once the T-Harness is verified. I'm thinking the FM8 harness will work, but I haven't verified it via idatastart as of yet. I'm a 12V specialist at Crutchfield, so I do this for a living. It wont be long until they have a solution...
