Pep boys had the correct wiring harness. (the kid who sold me the wrong one at Be$t Buy did not check the application chart, just took one of the rack and tolde me it was the right one.
Soldered and heat shrinked the wires... (Their is a reason I install my own stuff, best buy would probably never do this)
The mounting kit provides a little tray underneath of the head unit. I drilled a hole in the back and routed the ipod cable through it. I put the ipod in the little tray.
Everything worked out great. This little radio actually sounds a bit better than the factory head unit.
In time, I may purchase an amp and upgrade the front speakers, but for now I am happy. This turned out to be a smooth install.
The only thing that is irritating is the typical Ford AM alternator whine. I have owned 6 Fords over the years, and EVERY one of them has had the whining issue.
I will have to build a noise filter to get rid of this, as I listen to AM stations ocasionally.
Anyhow, my dad is borrowing the truck...he waited for me to get the install done so he could listen to HIS ipod
I will post picks when he gets back with my truck...
