Why would you put a stock pos radio back in it?
I shake myself when I see SHAKER in Ford. From owning 04 Lariat, with Shaker1000(I dont have any proof, and do not care that every person says it is not possible, but i owned one) I shake myself, Shaker 1000 is IMO absolutely best factory stereo. And I have been in……..10000+ cars? If anyone reads this post and has a shaker 1000 stereo that will work in 04 lariat, i will gladly buy it
Thank you! This was a big help!
You replaced a "shaker 500 mp3" with a standard unit, was there any difference in function????
We do not have the first two screws you removed in the first step
Good for you! Putting the stock radio back in is smart! Easy job. Aftermarket radios are nice and all but the new aftermarket radios are real picky about the speakers and the external amps. I know from experience with an aftermarket radio that quit two hours into a 4 hour road trip. Pioneer. Lasted less than 2 months. It was professionally wired in but if just one wire or one speaker is bad, it'll throw an amp error and shut down! I reinstalled a stock radio and it works fine now. A lot more to this story but the best thing is don't molest the stock system! Unless you are absolutely certain about every speaker in the car and have absolute faith in the installer, I wouldn't recommend an aftermarket head unit.
What abt the antenna bro
Great video!! Particularly the workarounds for those things that can really frustrate, like the pivoting the console to get it out and pivoting the front panel instead of a difficult removal.
Update: Above comment was made in advance of the operation. Having completed it, some more info – touching on both of the above:
The center console readily lifts directly forward and up, over the parking brake and the shifter, to remove. No need to pivot it around the brake handle, or shift into first.
The tricky part for me was the HVAC disconnections. These are not shown in the video. (Take two?) Both are handled from the sides, in hindsight perhaps before the panel is loosened so there's more resistance to the disconnecting. Key point: The right HVAC connector has a lever that flips down to release. This allows full panel removal. Not sure how the panel was pivoted as shown, as there's little slack in the right side wiring.
Good Vid, but like to add something. Rule of thumbs – if you disconnecting ANY electrical devices, first disconnect the battery.
P.S. first plug that you disconnected is a passenger airbag. If you get that code, it can be erased only at authorized dealership (you got lucky there, somehow, lol)
For the right side of the ac control unit there is a little notch that you push in right above the little lever of the plug
Great job. This was easy to understand.
