Watch a full tutorial as this 2022 Ford Transit will have a brand new 11" Alpine float mount screen installed. This new radio features a single din chassis and an oversized float mount screen which fits in the factory location. This install retains the steering wheel volume controls, Ford Sync module, and factory OEM backup camera.
This video applies to Ford Transit models for years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024+. This video also includes complete radio wiring and assembly, installation, and testing.

NOTE for NON-SYNC models: For Non-Sync models when retaining the backup camera, you may or may not have to modify the backup camera depending if the ground for the camera RCA cable in the Axxess harness is pinned in the correct location. If your image doesn't come through clear, move the camera ground wire in the Axxess harness (black) and connect it to the center channel blue wire location (Pin 24 on radio harness). Also, the Transit usually puts out about .5 or .6 volts for the video signal, and some headunits (like pioneer), require at least 1 volt of signal to recognize a video signal. If you are using a pioneer, you may need an RCA video voltage booster.
NOTE for SYNC models: The factory USB ports are on a HUB system, which prevents you to integrate those USB ports to the new aftermarket radio. If you leave those USB port cable connected to the SYNC module, it they still will remain as a full time charge only.

Just bought me a 2020 and am going to use your affiliate links to get the parts needed to do this.. the question I have though is will this deactivate the Ford Pass usability? I don’t believe my system is a sync system either…
Since it's not specifically covered in the video. Attach the Blue Center channel wire to the black radio ground, and the backup camera of a Non-Sync Transit 2024 will work. I just finished this install myself. It works. Otherwise all you get is a black screen. So while youre building the harness just make that connection and it will be fine. Great video! Very helpful.
Dear friend, what a great job, you took me away from a mega job. I'm working in Canada and believe me, this job is super awesome. What you're really doing, you're really a badass, like Simos in Mexico. I've been doing this for 17 years and I can't finish learning and more here it is more complicated because I don't speak English nor do I read it, I'm barely learning
This is an awesome build thank you for uploading , Nice upgrade from the stock
NICE, much better than the crappy 3 inch screen Ford uses on some Sync systems. 😃😃
Awesome video. One thing I’m confused about- is there a reason an idatalink Maestro module is not needed on this stereo to retain factory steering wheel settings? Is it just not compatible with the Transit?
Thanks for the video! I have spent the day installing the radio on my 2020 350HD with components I bought thru the affiliate link. I have one issue. I can’t seem to get the rear camera to work. I have a sync system and everything seems connected properly, just can’t get that camera to work. Any thought? I saw another short online talking about grounding the rca outer ring directly and that didn’t work either.
If you have sync, you need to use the Sync Video retention harness (AXBUCH-FD1) which plugs into the video input of the radio, not he video input on the axxess harness (AXTC-FD3) that connects to the radio side. The Sync module powers the camera which is why in your specific trim, it's needed. Non Sync models you may have to ground a wire in the radio harness as there is no sync module to retain.
@@ProvoBeastAudio FD1. That’s the one I have.
You also need the fd3 harness to retain the backup camera if you have sync.
I loved it, I would like to install it in my van here in Colorado but I don't think I can do it, does anyone know of a store to recommend?
Im installing a powered subwoofer and im wondering where i should tap onto the speaker level lines for the input.
Is the harness on the right side at 2:27 the speaker wire output?
Looks like that's it from what I found on FordTransitUSA Forum. Colors at radio harness are:
Left front + = White
Left Front - = White/Brown
Right Front + = White/Violet
Right Front - = White/Orange
@@TaylorSlysubd because of this answer. Any chance you know the rear speaker colors?
Awesome upgrade!
Will this work on a 2023 for transit 350?
also, the bit about "pinning" the blue wire is a little confusing? Does it infact just connect with pin 24 on the radio harness in order to ground it? How does one do that? and what does one do with the black wire in that case? Thanks
Are there any other options besides a head unit that cost $1000? That will fit.
Are you able to hook up all the sensors around the vehicle to this particular unit Is there an adapter for that as well
My transit didn't come with speakers in the back door, how can i add speakers?
Great video! Im a little unclear on the USB function though; for non-sync vans, do the adapters suggested attach to leads that go directly into the factory usb ports? Or do they just become "new" usb ports i need to mount elsewhere? and if so, what happens to the factory usb ports? Thanks
How much would you charge for this labor and parts
Was wondering if you know how to remove just the radio knobs for volume and power? My dog chewed them up and I need to replace them. Thank you!
Great instructional video. I have just one important to me question. Does this disable the remote start function using the Ford pass app?
Not that I’m aware of.
Curious if the lines in reverse move like they did from factory?
Hello, thank you for the great tutorial. I’m having a couple pf issues.
First Issue: I had two harness connectors for the AM/FM antenna so I just guessed and hooked one of them up but now I don’t get any AM radio. In your video there was only one connector.
Second Issue: I cannot get the back camera to work. I am sure I hooked it up correctly and I hooked up the blue wire to ground it but I only get the black screen with the red and yellow guides but no image. Hoping you can help because it’s a pain to reverse without that camera.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
I’d you have sync, you need the sync extra harness and will not sure the one on the primary harness. The am / dm is usually a larger cable, as the blue is for the screen, and yellow is for the xm sat antenna.
If I buy all the stuff that I need to do it. how much it would cost me the installation service. Doesn't have to give me an exact number, around how much would be? Thanks! Excellent video!

Does the 11" display block the air vents at all? Would the same parts be ordered if one were going to install the Alpine iLX-F509?
Sensational video.. May I ask. Does hands the factory hans free hardware work with all of the plug and play or do you need the mic supplied in the box to be installed? Thankyou
You will need to install the mic provided by the new radio.
good morning im saw your videos and im think maybe you can help me,ive a ford transit custom 2019 with 4'' screen and ill replace it with the original full radio sync 3 8'' screen. im boughted already apim,acm and display but i need the wires to connect it plus my van looking do not have the apim. can you please help me? do you sell parts? do you have any video? im desperated, thank you for any help
Does the standard ford rear view camera works on the this?
Hello great install! Do u still get to use the sync options on the new screen?
No, you won’t be able to retain factory sync.
Una pregunta a esa camioneta se le puede poner también una pantalla de doble din o solo ese tipo de pantalla que le vas a poner
Hi PB nice video I have a ford transit 2020. Can you please tell me where Can I order that radio. Thanks!!
Hello, is your FordPass still working without the OEM head unit?
Great video! Question for you. Would it be better to order a Transit with or without SYNC if installing a similar radio? One of the many delays with the new Transit is the 12 inch touch-screen I've learned.
You can do both. The benefit of Non-sync is you can repurpose the USB ports for the new radio where as the SYNC version, they can only be used as charge.
Hey, is there anywhere I can check which cable corresponds to what signal on a 2015 Transit 250?
Color matching sounds wonderful but, if it’s not always a direct fit, and the battery has to be disconnected, how can I check for signals?
Like let’s say reverse, or battery positive ?
Well if you are using the correct install parts, you can check with each manufacture to determine the functions of each wires.
thank you very much for the great video. unfortunately the picture of the camera was not shown. Is the camera over the full screen and the guidelines/pdc are still active? Thank you for your response
Yes, the dynamic guidelines and image was full screen. Remember, we had the factory SYNC system as well. This radio simply just displayed the camera's image, the image processing and guidelines were still produced by the vehicle. We did show the reverse image @18:40
Is there anything else that needs to be done regarding reverse camera as with my pioneer unit camera work but not great image pixels
Any downsides to replacing my factory 2021 Sync3 with this unit? I like the wireless (Apple?) Car Play. Will all my steering wheel controls will still operate correctly (including the Adaptive Cruise Control)?
It's a solid unit. Huge upgrade over factory, but depends on how ambitious you are for the install. All factory steering wheel control buttons were retained, and audio buttons to the new radio. Only downside is the issue with the USB ports, but if you keep the Sync module connected, they will become charge only. Outside of that, we retained everything. Everything should be linked in the description!
How did you retain the factory USB sockets ? In you parts list you indicate the USB-GM1, but in the video you mention they are a hub from the SYNC system and can only be retained for charging ?
If you have Sync, they are not retainable and remain as charge only. Non-Sync would use the Pac USB-GM1 adapters that allow you to plug those cables into the new radio for use of CarPlay, Android Auto, multi-media, etc.
Hi
Would you help to show me where is the the seat module for 2020 Ford Transit 350 HD gasoline with high roof 15 passenger van. I could not find the seat module where you are showing in the video. Many thanks
Seat module?
@@ProvoBeastAudio Yes, Could not find the module behind the glove box like the one you have in this video clip. I bougt this AXXESS - Ford 2020-Up Backup Camera Retention Harness (AXBUCH-FD1). My Van is 2020 Ford Transit 350 HD. Thank you for fast response.
@@arthurle288 If you don't have the SYNC module behind the glove box, you don't have SYNC, and thus need to order the appropriate parts for it (linked in the description)
After installing the new radio, will I be able to use the button on the steering wheel, that allows you to speak to the factory system, like the option talk to text
Yes steering wheel volume controls are retained as shown in the video during programming.
Can I do this similar install with a 9" model of the Alpine unit? If so would I still be able to integrate the factory backup camera?
Absolutely, and yes: amzn.to/3QeRzkP
Hi! Do you know how to add cruise control on ford transit 350 2022
Thank you for answer.
Nope, but I know how to install a radio on one.
Hi, I’ve got a 18 plate model, I’ve bought the screen; but do I need new radio as well?
Not sure what you are asking? The Alpine radio includes the screen.
Hi, I recently installed an aftermarket head unit. Not the same one but similar procedure. I was wondering if its possible to retain the Ford microphone for calls and if so which wire is it, and is there an adapter for it. Thanks!
Unfortunately not, it is on its own protected circuit and isn't compatible with the analog mic input on the radio.
@@ProvoBeastAudio thats a bummer, but also explains why excess googling for microphone adapters comes up short. Thanks for answering and great video! Helped me out a ton!
Great detailed video - One question: one of your parts from Amazon, the PAC USB-GM1 adapter shows that it's for General motors and Chrysler. Is that still the same part for Ford?
Works great for the Ford. The harness adapter is simply a female mini USB adapter to male type A adapter. It's branded as GM, but works on any application.
hi does the radio have an android system?
Does this lose the smart features and FordPass app compatibility
Yes, all factory Ford head unit features are removed when removing the OEM radio.
Does this affect factory remote start that uses the fordconnect app?
I haven't heard that it does.
I have the ford transit 2023 E350 I want to add 2 15 “ subwoofer and (2) 12” and tweeter for voice can this be done I have the sync 4 system
Send us a message on Facebook and we can chat
@@ProvoBeastAudio I have a ford transit that needs a up grade
I have the same question plz any help would be appreciated
@@coltonnathanielfink5564 Sure, send us a message on facebook or instagram and we can help with your build.
How do I know what trim level my transit is
Based on the features it has from factory - sync, non-sync, size of screen, etc.
My factory OEM backup camera dont work. I dont have sync. What do i need to do? Thanks
And my factory DAB+ dont work
I have notes in the description for those that don't have sync. You may either have to increase the video voltage of the camera, ground, the camera shield in a different location, or a combination of the two.
By default on this radio there are no cameras activated when you first install it. Go into the radio settings and you can select your factory camera. Even if the wiring is correct, you won't have a backup camera until you do this.
My reverse camera picture or video not look very good. It's like washed out or bad pixels like low quality video
Hi,, how much and where I can buy all this part please
Parts are all linked in description, install prices vary by shop.
Does FordPass still work, the remote start with the FordPass app?
that remains untested. Best way to check would be to remove the radio, and see what happens (before you install the new radio)
Yes it works for my 2023 Transit. I installed this radio in my non-Sync enabled van. i can still remote start and lock/unlock doors with the app. Backup camera works, etc. All good!
Mine used to work into I got a new phone
@@Hunter25dotcomthanks for your post here. I was wondering about the exact same thing. I have a 2023 non-sync as well and want to replace the head unit but would like the ability to see the gps location of the vehicle/remote start/etc from the Ford app to remain functional. How’s your experience after a few month passed now?
@@sachahunkeler1745 I don’t use the app very much but I’m not having any issues. Overall I’ve been very satisfied with this upgrade to my van.
