Works perfectly.I'm wondering if you're confusing two different things as the same thing? So I use the aftermarket stereo's bluetooth. I've had it in two different trucks and fight it all of the time. The Maestro looks and works just like the stock controls. I tried two different Metra kits, and hated them both. After having two vehicles with Sync, I will never buy another with it (or delete it shortly after purchase.) It's garbage. It would have added about $100 if I wanted steering wheel controls and Sync. The harness and faceplate combined to be less than $70. You can get that head unit now for $450 and is still better than any factory Nav unit when utilizing an Android device to run Android Auto with Google voice recognition and Google Maps for navigation. Add $100 for the idata harness if you have steering wheel controls and Sync. This is the invoice for my Pioneer AVH-4200NEX with dash kit and base wiring harness. Maybe you're just being had by stereo shops? That's the second time in the last few days I've seen someone make a statement like this. I also bought idata link connector that does a lot for the stereo.Īnd a picture of my Kenwood, using the dash kit that I told you about. It comes complete with ***** for your HVAC, defrost etc. The dash kit I bought, and it looks just like the stock dash is Maestro K-150.

Yes you can put your double din stereo in the newer F150. It does have a 4" screen that gives time, temp, stereo functions etc. I used Crutchfield, and had a terrible time. Thoughts? JimHey Jim, I've been through this in the last year. How about installing mine in these? It would be nice to find one with a backup camera and hook it up to my radio. Can I install a Double DIN radio? Do these models have radio buttons on the steering wheel, etc? Low end radios on the newer trucks appear to have no screen. I may want to put it in the new truck, depending on what I buy. I currently have an '04 F-150 with an aftermarket Pioneer double DIN radio Nav, bluetooth, backup camera, phone, etc. So looking for all replacement suggestions and experiences, it would be nice if you can include pictures so I can see how it looks.Looking at buying a used 2013 or 2014 F-150 Crew.

The looking good I think is going to be the problem I think. I kind of just want to replace the stereo with something that works and looks good. Then if you read the sticky in this subforum on the Sync system I pretty much agree with all the posts. Yeah sounded like loose wire but that was another stock stereo replacement. Had an issue where for some reason when I sped up the left speaker was fine, when I slowed down it would cut out. CD player quit working, it just wouldn't read any CD's. They have had to replace the stereo or parts a few times. I have just grown tired of all the repairs and sync not working correctly. Ok so I have 2013 F150, sync system, Sirrius XM, CD player, USB port.
