    "Best" tires for an Explorer Interceptor?

    I just switched off of those. I travel 120 miles round trip daily. The RS-A not good for that unless you don't mind replacing every 30k.

    Aftermarket headunit with metra/maestro install

    2016 PIU has no Bluetooth capability

    Currently, my PIU has the base six speaker stereo with no sink. I want to connect my phone via Bluetooth which is obviously not possible with this system. Can someone suggest an after market system or Add-on? Thanks.

    This helps me out a bit too. I am looking to do exactly the same. I have a 2016 Police Interceptor Utility which is basically a "BASE Model" in regards to the audio system.

    2016 PIU with no SYNC upgrade installed

    I appreciate the info. I’m thinking the same thing. I have also heard that it revolves around Microsoft license agreement with the deployed VIN and/or serial#. I’ll see what the dealer says.

    Police Interceptor Utility Photo Thread

I did it with my 2016. Fortunately, i have a buddy that’s a dealer tech with his own rquipment to program. Many...

    2016 PIU with no SYNC upgrade installed
