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...

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...
