Posted on by — No Comments ↓ 10,421 views

Do you want to install a new stereo in your 2013 2014 2015 Ford F150?I think most of you have this kind of need but not very sure about what to do with it.

In fact it won’t be complex if you know how to upgrade 2013 2014 2015 Ford F150 radio stereo,then it means that you can do it yourself without asking a installer to do it.It can also save some pocket money after all.

Before showing you detailed installation steps,I have a picture for you:it’s head unit after installation,radio gps navigation system with 3G WIFI of 2013 2014 2015 Ford F150.

Through viewing this picture we can find that there is some difference from other stereos:

First of most stereos are rectangles while all the exterior of this Ford F150 radio turns to be special shape;In addition,it has both touch screen and button controls to operate it.Therefore this radio is not a usual radio but a practical one.

In order to avoid unnecessary damage to car audio system,I think you need to know how to operate that new audio,and you can have a view at next video before installation:

After this,you may have grasped the general idea about it and next prepare some tools include screwdriver,panel removal tool and so on.

2013 2014 2015 Ford F150 original radio removal:

1.Remove the rubber pad which is at the top of trim panel

Please note that it is not necessary to remove the panels completely

Now original stereo radio is removed with the help of pry tool,and you can see whether the space is just for your new bought unit.Why?For you need to ensure that it can mounted into your car,then you can go on doing following things.

2013 2014 2015 Ford F150 aftermarket radio installation:

Honestly speaking,installing steps should be easier than removing affairs except cables connection,which may be the most important thing,you should do it very carefully according to installation instructions.

During cables connection,you should make sure each connector is connected to which one,about this you can try to find out corresponding wiring diagram and watch how their interfaces look like.Believe yourself and be careful,it won’t be hard for you.

After cables connection,gently put your new unit in right space,don’t eager to finish all process,you can turn on new radio first and have a check for it.If everything goes well,make all removed equipment back to your car and you can enjoy your better quality audio system.

Wish you good luck!If you have succeed achieving it,but you still have doubts about this unit,then you can go to some websites to search things that you need,for example:http://www.seicane.com/head-unit-car-stereo-sat-navi-multimedia-player-for-2013-ford-f150-with-gps-radio-dvd-bluetooth-3g-wifi-support-swc-3-zone-pop-c267.It will help you operate it fully and better.
