So this week, I'm going back to the dealer and having them move the antenna INSIDE. a week later the magnetic mount put a small scratch in the roof after I drove under some trees. There doesn't seem to be any guidance from Ford about the install (or my dealer is just lying to me about that), so they had to figure it out on their own. It works, and it doesn't leak at all, but if you look closely, it looks like an afterthought. The dealer wasn't happy about how the installation of the antenna wire along the edge of the windshield came out either: there's no room for the wire under the windshield so basically they had to run it along the edge of the windshield and hide it underneath some dark grey caulk. I don't know the difference between all the numbers - they are just what the dealer gave me. The module # is 8S4T-18C953-A, the radio engineering # is B元T-19C107-BA, the service # is B元Z-18C869-AC. The radio they installed was a United Radio from Ford. Dealer installed the radio for free on my 2011 F150 and the OEM kit came with a magnetic antenna. RandyI had the exact same situation as BLACKOUT FX4. do you happen to have a picture or a description of the cable so I can try and find one else where? is there anything else on your swap that didn't work due to putting a fancier radio into an xlt? did your truck have hands free for your phone as well?Īny info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.What kind of antenna did you end up with? Magnetic or hole-drilled and mounted? your thread mentioned contacting 4D Tech about the cables but unfortunately, they do not carry them anymore. I want to put my backup camera on the stereo rather that the rearview mirror. I am trying to do the same thing to my 2012 f350 lariat. saw your thread about doing the upgrade to the navigation style radio. It does not disable the camera in the mirror (which can be handy when backing up). You can contact 4D Tech and get a cable to also display the camera in the radio. You will need the GPS/satellite antenna on the roof or one of the smaller magnetic antenna you can locate on the dash or exterior. If you can find one, you should be able to swap it out without much problems. I do not think it requires the VIN to be "flashed" into the radio. IT is self contained with the radio, nav, dvd, hard disk, etc inside the "brick". Much of what you are saying pertains to the 2013 and newer trucks. The cost back in 2012 was approx $2000 for the radio, cable and NAV update. The connectors to add the camera cable, should you purchase it, is located in the passenger kick panel area. I added the cable mention above to display the camera in the radio. I made this same change you are wanted to do on a 2011 XLT that I ordered without NAV. You would probably want to purchase a NAV map update also as these radios used the DVD to update the maps. You can also go to 4D Tech and buy it as a package. There use to be many sellers on eBay selling this upgrade. You might be able to buy a radio off eBay. Will it work on the new unit? Will the steering wheel controls still work?If you can find one, you should be able to swap it out without much problems. Is it as simple as finding one in a junk yard and swapping them? It has a backup camera in the rearview mirror. I have a 2011 F250 and want to upgrade the radio to the OEM navigation unit.
