radio

I have a 2020 XLT and a few months ago the radio quit working and the radio controls dont do anything. Everything else still works, including the climate controls and settings, but not the radio buttons. I can still connect to bluetooth but nothing works. I also don't get any beeps whenever I...

So I know I need forscan for this and I know that several companies offer these mods preprogrammed. But I can afford or justify 1500 dollar plus shipping and taxes for a infotainment screen. So I have found several car scrap yards that have my model of ranger and part them out and sell the...

I just recently did a conversion from the 4 inch ford sync radio to the 8 inch ford sync 3.4. My question would be does anyone know how to get the climate control to show up on the radio? I've heard there's a way to do it, but am not sure of the steps or the process. I do have the forscan...

Hello, the other evening I was on a road trip when I first received an Airbag light on the dash followed by a "Restraints Indicator Lamp Warning" message in the FordPass app. Soon after, my climate control turned off, and no physical buttons can turn it back on. The Sync page still allows me to...

I bought this android 12.1 inch head unit from AliExpress. It uses canbus to communicate with the ecu and a module that connects to the original climate control harness. I cannot get it to work properly with the ac and was hoping someone has had this issue and fixed it or may know more about...

Hey, fellow Ranger owners, this is my first post, I'm so sorry it's horribly written. I have owned my 2021 Ranger for about 2 years now, and I really want to upgrade the radio to the 8-inch version. But at the same time, I can't afford to drop 1-2k for the kits from 4d. So I was wondering if I...

My son bought a used 2021 Ford Ranger with the 4" screen and he wanted carplay in it. So i researched it for him because i've done maybe a handful of personal installs over the last couple decades and he has not done one before. Since he lives in another state i wrote up some instructions for...

How do you hook up an auxiliary music source? I want to play some of my CDs on road trips, and plugged in the player into the USB, but it doesn't show up as an optional source. I only got AM/FM/XM or the phones. As far as I can tell, loading them to an MP3 player won't even work, and I don't...

Hi folks, First time poster here. I’m hoping someone can solve the mystery that a Ford dealer can’t and an auto spark who’s had my 2015 Ford Ranger XL 3.2 diesel for a week can’t either. I am getting no power to the function buttons on the climate control or the audio system. Only blue lights...

WORK IN PROGRESS Introduction The goal of this thread is to list the most useful frequencies and channels to use with CB, FRS, GMRS, MURS & HAM (Amateur Radio) equipment, especially for off-roading and emergency situations. I will update this initial post as I go, based on other users' input...

This is a follow-on to a previous thread. I want SiriusXM in my Ranger, but my Ranger does not have a satellite radio. I purchased an external SiriusXM radio: the product name is Onyx. I need to connect the Onyx to a satellite antenna. My Ranger has a satellite antenna. First question: Does...

Just picked up a new 2019 Ranger Lariat with the B&O sound system and every time I am on a call there is a lot of interference noise, sounding a bit like a fax machines. I've been able to reproduce with a Pixel 3XL, LG, and Iphone. Took it to the dealership and after a having the truck for 2...

Hello all, I didn't know if I should post this in electronics or Interior Mods. I know where I want to install my CB, the problem is that I don't know how to remove the center console to hide the wiring. My previous vehicle was fairly easy but not with the ranger. Has anyone removed the...

Today popped up a new minor issue. My LCD (5inch) radio screen stopped working...just a black screen..no reverse camera....nothing....however the radio continued to work fine ..volume...tuning..Bluetooth streaming...etc etc. I thought I accidentally turned the screen off but toggling the screen...

Has anyone notice that when you park your truck the volume of the radio is at your standard setting, but when you start up the truck the volume is like really loud.

Ok, not sure if this is a big deal but I was detailing the inside of my Ranger and hit the on button for the radio and it came on and started playing. The keys were not in the ignition. In the other vehicles I own you have to have the keys in the ignition and turned to the acc. For the radio to...

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience in adding a aux audio port to an existing standard Ford radio. I have a possible need for one. I have a standalone MP3 player that has a lot of my music is some high quality standards that I would like to use. I have a standard audio jack to BT adapter...

The other day I got into my truck for work like normal; however, my phone synced to the radio and caused the unit to power cycle. The radio would turn on and off repeatedly without me pushing any buttons. My steering wheel buttons would not function at this time. I unplugged the phone and tried...
