    Swap radio receiver from civilian Explorer

    Button harness, 05' Mountaineer, installing CarPlay

    Hi guys, I've been searching the forums for this, I may be using the wrong terminology. I'm installing a Pioneer CarPlay head unit, there's a second set of buttons that are wired on the right hand side of the console, what are these for or what option was it? Anyone know? I appreciate any feedback!!
