Keep my music in my vehicle and B. To keep road noise out (Also C I cut my muffler off like the 17 year old boi I am but...

Hey what it do everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for a simple aftermarket radio. I've been looking for one that's close to what the factory one looks like. All the new radios look like stuff out of an alien space ship and I hate it haha. Just want something simple...

So I got my explorer from the original owner and he had a crappy cd changer installed and I had to go in and work on/remove it (sold it with the changer but not the cartridge for the CDs). While in the console however I found the female end of a wiring harness. Dose anyone know what it should be...

Had to replace a subwoofer in our '94 Limited last week. I noticed that prices go from about $10 to hundreds, but somehow I can't justify spending a lot on a sound system in a vehicle that's not all that quiet. I ended up purchasing a Pyle PLPW6D for $14.05 off everyone's favorite auction site...

Hello, I find this odd issue super odd and wanted if you guys could provide some insight. So here's the deal. My truck is having this weird issue that just started coming up a couple of days before. Now, after a very light rain I try to start my truck and the starting motor feels very labored...

I have the stock sound system (complete including all 4 OEM speakers) available. I upgraded everything so dont need any of it. Everything works 100% Came from a 2004 explorer xlt

My radio is now switching to the video setting all by itself. I'll be driving and it'll do it at random. then when i decide to turn it off it turns back on!! What's wrong with my explorer? it's the stock radio head I've never done anything to it.

How do I test the stock amp to make sure it works and how do I wire it to a after market radio I wire diagram for the stock amp and radio would relly help

Has anyone put an iDatalink Maestro RR into an 06 Explorer? If so, did you get all of the functions, like gauge display, backup sensors, and seeing codes? Let me know! I'm replacing the stock radio and it has the ability to display this stuff, but I can't find any info on the Ford end of things...

Hello everyone I am looking for a "better radio" to put in my 05 Explorer. it needs to have Bluetooth, USB and an Audio in port, CD changer AM/FM radio. is there something else that I would want to have on the radio. thanks for the help. :)

So I have been trying to find out how feasible it would be to replace my base stock radio and ac controls with the "SYNC Navigation GPS Radio Center Console Screen". I have only found two units. They were both on eBay but I'm questioning if I should just go see if the dealership can do it for...

Hey guys, need a little help on a project. I recently got a double din pioneer head unit that I want to put in my 01 Sport Trac. Does anyone know if this Sport Trac comes with a factory amp? I just have the four door speakers and the standard stock radio. I don't know if there is an amp...

I have read numerous posts on these items not working. I would like to share everything I have checked and ask what I should do next. 1. I tore the door apart and check the wires coming through the boot from the door to the body. I found a larger black wire that had been repaired before...

My wife is very disappointed in the volume output of the radio in her 2015 explorer sport. It has the sony premium package with 12 speakers. For 2016 ford and sony upgraded the sound system with a 500 watt amplifier. I think it's a couple hundred watts more than what's in the 2015. (Don't quote...

My 2006 limited has the rear dvd player, which has auxiliary audio and video RCAs. I use an RCA to headphone jack wire to plug in my phone so I can listen to Pandora in the car. The issue with this is the volume is very low and thus I am looking for solutions other than adding an aftermarket...

Hello I am new to this forum. I have owned my 2002 Ford Sport Trac since brand new. It has basically run with no problems all these years. The CD player stopped working and I would like to install a new double Din radio. I do not want to cut wires so I would like to get the adapters to go...

Yesterday I dropped off my bf in Dallas, and of course as soon as i got back to Houston my Explorer started doing some weird things. I'm not sure if they are related or several problems that just happened at the same time. The drive to Dallas and back was fine, but when I got home the problems...

Hey everyone! My names Emily. I'm a fairly new explorer owner, bought mine in December 2013. I found this forum by Google, I had (and still have) a broken radio antenna I tried to fix. If anyone has any help with my radio antenna, please let me know! :)

I have a 2006 Ford Explorer. Whenever I turn off the ignition, I am still able to listen to the radio for another 10 minutes. Recently, I installed an aftermarket radio and this feature has disappeared. Is this really a stock radio related feature or can I re-enable it somehow? Thanks in...

I recently pulled my VHF radio off of my family's boat, and was hoping to use in in my Sport Trac. I heard that you need a license to run a VHF and if this is true I was wondering what course is required. Also if I can run a CB frequency or just stay with standard VHF, I have no experience with...

Hey, guys, been a while since I've been on here, but in the past month or so, my 1996 Explorer Sport has developed some odd issues with the speakers. While going on rough roads/terrain, I've noticed that the front driver's side and rear passenger side speaker have intermittently become softer...

Forgive me, I'm sure this is explained somewhere but I cannot find it. My 2003 explorer had an aftermarket JVC radio in and the rear speakers never worked. I'm 99% sure the problem is in the radio/wiring and not the speakers themselves. I pulled it out and found a rats-nest of wire...

I recently got a 1995 Explorer Eddie Bauer with the JBL audio system. The only problem with the whole vehicle is the radio won't power on. When the car is completely off, and I hold the clock button, the time will display. When I turn the ignition and everything comes on, the clock no longer...

I got a new Pioneer 6.1" touch screen head unit for my 04 Sport Trac. Its one of the units with the USB and AUX cables mounted on the backside. Anyone know of such a product that I can mount under my dashboard that lets me pull out my AUX cord when in use and then I can just retract it back...

Hello all, I recently had an alternator replaced as well as a new battery on my 2006 Explorer. After the alternator was replaced, the only electrical issue I had was with my Kenwood Radio not turning on. I've got a KDC-X595. I checked all of the fuses, and none are blown. Is there...

so i have a 96 eb, and as far as i can tell there's nothing wrong, no broken wires no blown fuses, nothing, one day i noticed there is nothing coming out of that subwoofer at all, so other then checking the obvious, fuses wires and whatnot, is there a way to test that power is getting to the amp...

I am trying to install a factory overhead dvd system into my 2004 explorer which never had a dvd system in it. I have the dvd player/mounting bracket and the factory wiring harness all the way up to the radio(all of these were out of a wrecked 2003 mercury mountaineer). I took my radio out and...

Hey all, Sorry if this has been answered before. I am new to the site and still working my way around. I couldn't find anything close to what I needed so I figured I would make a new thread. As in the title, I have a 98 Ford Explorer XLT and I am working on installing an aftermarket radio...
