Need help with wiring harness 09 XLT

[mthomason]

Hi, I just purchased a new hu (Dual xdvd8285) for my 2009 XLT explorer, and Ive been having a hard time figuring out which wiring harness I need to use.

From the research Ive done it looks like I am going to need a 24 pin wiring harness such as this one, http://www.installer.com/item/display_item.php?it=70-5520, but is that all that I need? Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you do not have a factory nav. in which i dont think you do if you are replacing it with a dual. Then that is the correct harness. If you have nav, then you will need the canbus harness and module. You will also need a dash kit and antenna adapter.

Keep in mind you get what you pay for. that is a discountinued model about 3 years old. IMO save a little more and get a name brand.

Thank you very much for your help and your advice. I decided to go with the Dual model because it had everything I wanted, satellite radio, bluetooth, ipod control, etc for a good price. All other models that I could find that offered the same things were significantly more expensive. Thank you again for your help.
