Looking at replacing my 2008 factory Nav with a new Alpine 8" Nav.
Just wondering if anyone has installed one of these in a GEN 4?

havnt had time to pull my original Nav out yet to investigate some of the plugs on the back, but i plan on using the original ford gps and sirius antennas.
Poked around online yesterday when i had a few mins and come up with these parts needed (hopefully they are correct)
Ended up ordering these different wiring harnesses and adapters.
started installing and playing around but ran out of time so not going to get this up and running until sunday. Here are a few pics. Out with the old and in with the new!
so i finally got the 8" Alpine installed. Kind or a pain in the butt. Radio fits in with little problems but the wiring is the big issue as there is not enough room behind the radio in the dash to fit anything. I needed to cut and lengthen all the RCA input/out put cables for the alpine harness by a foot. I also wish i extended the main power harness wires for the Alpine at least 6" but didnt. I was able to snake the oem plugs towards the drivers side down into the dash. Then i installed all the new wiring below being the heat/ac controls where there is plenty of room.
I was about to source the adapter plugs which allowed me to use the original oem gps and sirius antennas. I skipped trying to use the oem microphone and just installed the alpine mic in the upper drivers side a-pillar like ive done with all my other vehicles.
The larger screen i think really updates the look of the interior. So far i like it and working well.
