I drive a 2015 f150 platinum with Sony system it has a CD player I want to upgrade the head unit and keep the CD player . I’ve replaced the speakers with morel and added wet sounds amps with dd audio dsi-3 also are running 2 audio mobile gts10 in a down fire box . anyway is this head unit a good fit ?
Great vid! So I’m considering getting the w8500. Are you still liking this receiver for use with Apple Carplay? Pros & Cons? Also was wondering if you can use the screen with gloves on? Lastly how’s that pioneer camera? Is really clear during the day & night? Thanks for the feedback.
Great video but just wondering before I buy this unit some of the newer ones have safety screen that pop ups before you can use the receiver does this one do that or does it go away on its own?
Hey my F-150 has the 4.2 in screen I'm trying to upgrade my sound system to something similar yours how much did the install run you without any of the audio parts just a labor itself?
5star does excellent work. I watch their videos all the time.
Thank you for providing those list of parts!
Crutchfield is saying this receiver is too deep. Did they have to remove the silver bracket to get more clearance?
Wondering same thing. I dont like the options it sets for you on crutchfield
How much did that run you?
Where you able to get the factory car chimes (door) working through the avic
8500 speakers?
Good job 👍
Do u have a link to the dash kit?
Where did you buy the replacement dash kit?
Great review. This is what I need. What’s the estimated “out of the door” investment for something like thsi
You can get this radio now for about $700 and you can get the newer version - the pioneer avic-w8600nex - for $1,000.
Was the fordpass mobile app remote start/lock/unlock functionality retained? Not sure if these settings are connected to factory head unit.

They need to upgrade the steering wheel cover lol
Great review!
Mines a 07 but nice stereo
You cant use the existing back-up camera??
I have a 2018 f150 and used my backup camera

I’m afraid to ask how much that cost.
the stereo is about 700 dls plus the dash kit 270 + plus labor job is about 1,250 not counting the speakers

Why not the oem backup camera
its took 5 years for the aftermarket to come up with a dash kit,sad
Where could I find it? I’m planning on upgrading next weekend
The CD player doesn’t work in my 03 f 150. What do I do
Buy a new one?
Should have got the pioneer d series. Not Much more money, and sound a ton better.
bullshit ...better speakers , more subs and DSP all the way or go home.....
