Hello All,
I have a 2009 FX4 with the Pioneer stereo option from the factory. It has served me very well over the years. The only change I made was upgrading the speakers to Pioneer G series a few years ago and since then I have always been happy with the system. I recently started thinking about upgrading the head unit (because why not add another project to the list).
I would store the factory one away, should I ever want to go back to it, or dare I say, sell the truck. I was looking for a wiring harnesses that would allow me to leave the factory plugs intact and came across the Metra 70-5701 which I thought would fit, but cannot confirm. There seems to be very little info on this system. I do have the shop manual and will take a look at the wiring info for it (when I get time, which is in short supply at the moment).
Does anybody have any experience upgrading from this particular system? Any ideas or observations are welcome.
