    2016 FPIU - stopping Rodent infiltration

    I've had my explorer for a month, and I have already found signs that I've had field mice in my vehicle. I found a few acorn shells under the hood and inside the cabin.

    How to: Adding OEM 12V outlets to your post-aftermarket equipment FPIU (and fixing your horn)

    It took me about ten to fifteen hours to figure these two things out on my own, since there isn’t a ton of info out there yet about undoing police modifications (whereas on a car like the CVPI so many have been purchased after decommissioning that info is relatively easy to find). I hope this...
