It's obviously a Ford unit, but how would you wire it in?

i want to say from a ford 500.. i think....if i remember correctly its obviously a direct swap.. but possibly a little computer for the nav?

 

Now that looks clean and neat...like it belongs..I want it

 

WOW

yeah...thats what i want

 

Only 5 gears on the stick, so it's apparently not a GT500.

Looks to be the DVD Nav system that will be late-availability for the '07 model.

 

 

Oh...that 500.

I was thinking stock, not swap.

 

haha no prob

 

It's in an '05 V6 with NO shaker system present (looking at the door panels) I have a feeling it's a direct swap for the regular CD player, but not the shaker. I'd like to try it anyway, but I don't have enough dough laying around right now to find out.

 

Kevin should be able to give us more info on this !!!

Direct swap ?
- with which version (shaker regular, 500, 1000 etc)

Features (MP3, # of CD, dvd etc,)

What's needed to have the Nav system operational ?

Ford P/N and availability ?

Price ?

 

If you go to the Ford website and build a 500, you'll see this unit.

It's a DVD unit, 6 disc changer, I'd guess it matches the shaker specs for mp3 etc. Shows as a $2000 *option* so I'd imagine it's fairly pricey as a replacement part.

 

Interesting, I bet you can get all the parts for $1k used at least

 

looks awesome but would hate to loose my Shaker 1000 for this

 

Supposedly we are getting the same unit as the Expeditions, which is not as nice as this screen. This screen from the Ford 500, has a touch screen and a larger screen, and looks much cleaner. I have the shaker 500, and as I'm sticking with as clean of an interior as possible, I am getting that navigation system

 

I like mine better :

 

Yeah computer rocks !

You get more for less $.

Did you saw the Infill T3.

 

What's the specs there? How'd you mount it?

 

what i want to know is how everyone gets the software with all the mustang stuff on it...and where do you get all the stuff to put it in...i think i have a heard of a site called MP3car or something

 

Yeah mp3car is the bible.

Software for me (warningslo got pretty the same combo):
OS : Windows XP
FrontEnd : RoadRunner
Skin : MC2 customized.
GPS : Iguidance
MP3: winamp 1.95
Video : i use the internal video player of RR instead of MPC, get better result and no crash.
ODB2 : PCMScan.

Next step i will put my own Front End, RR is too slow for my taste.

here is my odb2 screen

and my first test video

It can be done, I know how. It's not a direct swap plug 'n' play, the Nav headunit must be modified to work with your car's system. However, it's all programming, no splicing at all. All the plugs will work from your factory system.

All you need to do is buy the Nav system from either a Freestyle or 500 (or any Ford that's double din, the Freestyle/500 look the nicest). If you want a shiny metal looking one, get the Lincoln one. You can get these for a decent price from www.radiosandmore.com. http://www.radiosandmore.com/prod_de...=6F9T-18K931-A

$1375 for the nav unit
~$50 for the antenna
~$275 for the maps
Owners manual you can get on PDF I'm sure

Programming is an extra charge too, very reasonable.

I am planning on doing this mod, I just need to do my full suspension first.
