Great video Sir, you showed a lot of patience. This video will help me with
my next install.
5:25 …. and the wife lol. Thanks for the video
how does it work on 2002 expedition my after market radio only has one
thing out the back the factory had two connectors
Am sucks anyways
Cruise control buttons.
What stereo did you get
Do you know if the radio wiring and size in your ’02 is the same in a ’04?
Good video man!! N good job explaining step by step….
I’m getting ready to do the same thing in my ’02 Explorer. Where did you
buy the wiring connectors and the dash adapter? I like the one you
installed in yours.
I just got a used 05 explorer that had an issue where the ac would blow
full blast everywhere except the main vents. Turned out It was a bad
blendoor or something like that which was an easy fix for my local car
repair place
Sony DSX-S210BTX Digital Media Receiver. It’s pretty slick. No CD Player.
It takes iPods, iPhones, usb storage, etc. We primarily use iPods in our
cars.
what stereo is that
We had to get the transmission rebuilt at 150,000 miles. There were some
issues with some transmissions early in the life of these cars, but we
didn’t have that sort of problem, our just wore out (the valve bodies if I
remember correctly).
This particular vehicle did not have the steering wheel controls, so I
didn’t need to try and connect them.
Should be
hey man after you installed this did the steering wheel buttons work with
it or no?
Did you ever have a transmission issues with your explorer?
The harness is used to connect the OEM connector to your new stereo. Most
car stereos will not just plug into any car. The original plug is paired
with the plug on the wiring harness. So, yes, if you’re adding a new stereo
you’ll need a harness.
I see videos of people putting a ground wire to the car frame. Is that the
same as inside the harness?
where did you get the dash adapter?
In this particular case everything was ordered from Crutchfield. They have
a great app on their website that helps you identify all the necessary bits
for most modern cars. Alternatively any stereo shop/best buy carries the
stuff in store.
I’ve got a 2000 Explorer. I know the previous owner did some messing with
the stereo. I get FM just fine but the am has so much static and engine
noise static that it is worthless unless the engine is off. Could the
previous owner have failed to reconnect the antenna? Is there separate
antenna connectors for am and fm reception ?
then what are the things on the wheel at 4:12?
My wife also got a nice pair of speakers for Christmas. I just haven’t
installed them yet. That will be the next explorer specific video. As to
whether you need an amp or not, good quality speakers make a huge
difference in sound quality. Beyond that, it starts to be limited return on
investment.
Did you connect the ground wire to something?
I did this on my explorer, but the stock speakers are horrible, the minute
I changed the stock to a pair of Kenwood (cheap $60ea. x 4 [size 5×8]), the
sound was much better, but I hear that installing an amplifier would make
it that much better. I’m not buying an amplifier though, I don’t wanna go
deaf yet.
Your videos may not be for everyone but your effort is appreciated. Can’t
wait to see more progress on the Healey.
Do you have a link to where you got the aftermarket stereo mount?
My 2002 explorer’s AC is doing something strange. It blows the AC out of
all the vents/floor vents/defrost when I have the AC on. It does not matter
if I have the setting on just floor vents or just defrost. Any idea whats
wrong?
Crutchfield. Their online system will tell you exactly what fits, etc.
Which ground wire? There’s a ground wire in the wiring harness. Is that the
one you’re referring to?
What if I don’t have any other aftermarket stuff in my vehicle, do you
still need a aftermarket radio wiring harness???
I also have a 2002 Explorer and was wondering what brand of dash adapter
you used? I bought a Metra brand for 1995 and up Ford from Best Buy and
it’s too small. The only other choice they had was for 2004 and up.
