Hey boss, can you show me how to replace the bezel itself cuz my climate controllers are all working but the bezel is broken so when I push the controllers they are not stable so I have to change the bezel but I don’t k is
@esqu3l3toСағат бұрын
the bezel should really easy to replace. there should be tabs that hold the climate controls is place, and or a fee screws. look around the climate controls. once removed you can replace onto the bes bezel.

I have constant power to my double din pioneer dmh 160bt. Im installing it on my 2011 ford fusion se. Do you know why it wont turn off with the ignition? Also im using a metra interface harness that supposed to retain steering wheel controls but its not programming. And can u tell me what the little harness on the back that has a solid black wire with red and yellow clip is? Its the one that plugged into my factory radio. What is that used for?

@esqu3l3to How did you figure out that pin 12 should be ground? I connected pin 11 to KEY1 wire on Android head unit and I tried connecting pin 12 to KEY2 connector. Also tried leaving pin 12 unplugged but in either case the head unit did not recognize the steering wheel buttons. I will try connecting pin 12 to GND. Cannot it connected to the GND wire in the harness or does it have to be connected to car body?

I reused the stock speaker mounts. Using your advice, i modified with a pair of old wire clippers.

I did add some cheap sound deadening . I had a roll kept from 5 years ago. Not true sound deadener, it's actually a sticky foam/foil wrap for air conditioning pipes. The speakers sound great, i get very good bass now and can crank up the volume to 35++ with no distortion. I may replace the rear door speakers with same brand i just bought, but the sound is very good as is now. The reason i have great sound now is because i also swapped out the factory nissan stereo 3 years ago for this >>JVC KW-R950BTS CD receiver. Now $199 at cnd tire, but back then it was on sale for about $140........i am no car stereo expert.

Clean install, for the average joe, you don’t need the steering wheel controls. I’ve installed a pioneer double din without the steering wheel controls, frankly its easier to use the head unit. If your head unit is blue tooth enabled, then it should also be voice activated under owner programmer. Where you basically say a command then the head unit should act accordingly.

thanks! the kit ai used is universal and it capable of retaining the oem camera if you have one. Not sure why it would need to be specific to that pioneer unit. I always recomment using adpater harnesses to avoid cutting up oem harnesess.
Clean install, for the average joe, you don’t need the steering wheel controls. I’ve installed a pioneer double din without the steering wheel controls, frankly its easier to use the head unit. If your head unit is blue tooth enabled, then it should also be voice activated under owner programmer. Where you basically say a command then the head unit should act accordingly.
you dont always need the steering wheel controls tho its nice to have when you are driving and not have to reach for volume up/down nor have to use your phone to track up/down
That sucks that Ford makes you practically disassemble the car to add a 3rd party radio.
I know, I hate having to dismantle half the car just to replacw the radio and fit an entire dash since they make the climate control all into one.
Hi great video! I wanted to ask, Is the android auto performance laggy compared to apple carplay?
thanks! no there is no difference. both systems connected and functioned similarly without issues.
why does the 50$ off doesn't work? :/
Let me check and I'll send you a new link later today
Dónde puedo conseguir los conectores ??
I have a 99 explorer Eddie Bauer, the last owner change the stereo and he doesnt do the subwoofer connection, how can I do it?
for the oroginal sub to work you will need an adapter that connects to the factory harness and allows to control and power on the sub.
Thank you so much !!!
no problem, glad it helped you out
You have part number
Thanks for testing. Can we change the music and increase/decrease the volume from the steering wheel controls? thanks for answering
yes you can do both, as long as its factory bluetooth connection
I just watched your latest video and noticed that the lighting seems a bit dim. Have you considered adjusting the time zone settings on your device to match your location? This might help improve the brightness and overall visibility in your videos. Keep up the great work!
thanks! its the camera that I use, due to the snow brightness in the background that makes it dim when I film. I cant always tell how bright or not it will be and hard to tell in the small lcd screen. summer time filming is a lot better and would be nice to have a garage as well but for now it is what it is. trying to find a better ways to film.
Nunca le quitaste el empaque al foco, eso al encender el foco se tuvo que haber quemado 😂
jajaja si me di cuenta antes de probarlo y lo quite despues
You don't have to undo any screws at the steering wheel, that little panel will pop off enough to remove the radio trim piece
I didnt want to take my changes and crack or break the panel. wasnt hard to remove the two screws and better safe than sorry
where did you buy the installation kit and the screen
the installation kit I bought on amazon and the screen (radio) I had from my previous vehicle. you can buy it at a local car audio shop or online as well
Great job!! Thanks
thanks 🤛
