thank you so much, i was about to pull apart my dash to figure out this harness. amazon has so many options for Ford models I wasn't sure what to use for an E350 based holiday rambler.
Great video. I am wanting to install a double DIN radio in a E-450 Goshen/Ford 15 passenger bus. This video is very helpful. I will be buying from your sponsors. I was close to buying from a company Charlottesville, VA ;) You saved me some coin too :)
@@nonamechannel8110 I put an Android 7 " in my Van yesterday, I had many Pioneer and Alpine screens and they have no functions compared to an Android, and they're cheaper .
I really could’ve done with better overall shots around the steering column to see what you did there. Did you remove the steering column cover. Would’ve been a big help.
I ordered all the exact parts in your video, gave everything ready to go, but the plastic harness the radio sits on and bolts to the dash has plastic clips in the back that stick out on the sides and prevents the radio from going into the dash. Is that how your mount is?
I have a 1997 e350 class b rv.. I want to upgrade to this dash for the higher placement of the radio since I want to install a Tesla style 15" LCD screen radio.. Can anyone comment on this dash upgrade?
Nice video. I'll be doing mine soon to my RV I got yesterday. Also, My temp control cluster is not illuminated at night. You didnt mention electrical connections to it, just vacuum. Is it not illuminated from Ford??? Bad enough the cruise on the steering wheel isnt lit.
Is there a unit that supports android auto, or is there a way to convert the apple CarPlay to android auto? I’m looking to install this head unit for my moms 2010 xlt 350 super duty but I’m concerned that the CarPlay won’t be compatible. Thanks for the guide
Does anyone know if this dash kit and wiring harness adapter will work on a 2022 E-450? I want to go with a Pioneer AVH-2400NEX 7" Touchscreen Double Din any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Thanks for great instruction and photo. I have been dreading having to pull my RV radio - now not so much! Since you do this all the time - any issues/precautions you take WRT airbag system on newer model vehicles?
What is the little plate on the bottom right of that dash assembly? Ours has a USB and HDMI installed there. But I can't find what that part would be called
Thanks for the tips. Wiring harness adapters on order. I'm trying something a bit more ambitious...I'm trying to fit in an oversized display double din mount stereo into a similar RV. Some cutting of dash may be required. The unit I bought is a cheapo no-name brand that comes with few installation instructions (fingers crossed). It includes a backup camera and GPS antenna. Both of those are going to require extensions. Those were easily sourced I was just wondering if you have any tips on routing the cabling to the top of the RV for the GPS, and to the back of the RV for the backup camera. I intend to mount the camera as high as possible to provide as much view behind me as possible. It looks like your adding a bypass switch for reverse so you can leave the backup camera on. I may try that but I'm not sure. Any suggestions on routing the cabling for the backup camera? Running it through the interior of the RV looks like a real pain so I'm thinking of going down the ladder on the back, and up the frame rails. Any tips or suggestions very much appreciated. Thanks.
Yep, most touch screen radio's have the USB, AUX, other main connections on the rear of the radio, so this relocation flush mount places them in a more convenient location instead of dumping the USB in the glove box or hanging out the dash somewhere. They come in different variations too, like single USB, dual USB, USB and AUX (like we used), USB and HDMI, etc. It just depends on your radio connections on the rear.
@@ProvoBeastAudio I bought a Kenwood DDX5707S and installed it in my motorhome. It has a USB adapter coming off of the back of the radio but nothing for an aux input. I am looking for something to be able to Tyanne to that cord off of the radio to make a neat finished. Look on the dash. This video was very helpful in the installation by the way.
Thanks. I just start to install Nakachimi NA3600M on my E-250 2012. I'm not sure where I connect brake wire... Is it really necessary? Do you connect this wire ? Thanks.
Just depends on the manufacture of the radio. In. your case, you can simply ground it to enable all features. Sometimes android based radios you can disable the brake in the settings. Just depends on the radio.
Excellent video, thank you. Can you please tell me more about this micro by-pass? Is this included with the harness or is this a separate wire? If it's a separate wire where exactly is it installed? I have a E-250 2014. Thanks again
THe micro bypass disables a “safety’ feature which makes it so you can only watch movies or get into the settings if the parking brake is set on the vehicle. With the bypass installed, the stereo thinks you have the parking brake on while driving so it lets you operate all of the functions.
just take the light green wire and put a round connector on it and mount it to the chassis of the stereo with an existing screw. You don't need to buy a separate wiring harness /adapter at all. ruclips.net/video/LYb6A943gHo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/PAUm17NNXPM/видео.html
I am trying to put a cheap head unit from Amazon on a 2015 E350-based RV. This is the best info I get so far. I wonder how you connect the rear speakers which you mentioned but did not show. Also there is another connector at the back of the original unit, which I finally figured out need a Metra 70-5520AV wiring harness, but how do I connect the wires from the new unit to this? I tried not connecting anything but the unit does not power up. Any idea? Please advise. Thanks!
If you need the Metra 70-5520AV (in addition to the main wiring harness adapter used), it is because you have the factory amplified sound system, and that amplifier isn't turning on. This is meant to plug into the subwoofer output of the radio, and the blue / white wire connects to the remote turn on of the radio, or accessory. But if the radio isn't powering on, you have a different issue.
Need to Hook Radio Ignition and Memory to a Constant Hot, Fused. A good 2 Conductor Cable to Battery. Marine Grade works well, Usually Fine Strand, Tinned Copper, and Fused.. If parking for a while Remove fuse, or Better yet, Disconnect Battery. Memory does have a draw.
had an Android 7" put in my van y3stetday , absolutely destroys Pioneer radios when it comes to the apps and internet you can use.btw the installer said he dropped the steering column to remove the dash more easily.
It depends on your version E250 as the trim will vary on what harness you need. base trim without any options generally don't need them, but if you have any sort of options, you will need a smart harness. Feel free to send us a message on facebook and we can help identify what harness is needed for your install!
What wiring harness kit did you use? I installed a double din radio on one of my E350 fleet vans but it doesn't power the unit I had to run a separate power line
Working on my 2012 E-350 passenger van, when removing the stock radio, there are two electrical connections on the back...what advise would you give in this?
Parts used linked in the description of the video!
What type of radio is this I need to get one please for my e150 Ford 2013 does it come with back up camera as well
Solid video! (Made me realize more that I’d rather someone else do it! 🤣)

Thanks this helped me remove dash and locate fuse on back of radio

Did you have any trouble with the install? I’m trying to do one on my mobility bus?
Thanks for your post I've got a 2013 350 e van I'm going to install a pioneer stereo into this is very helpful
Hey Michael, did you install the pioneer on the e350? You mind sharing your experience, thanks.
@@nonamechannel8110 I put an Android 7 " in my Van yesterday, I had many Pioneer and Alpine screens and they have no functions compared to an Android, and they're cheaper .
Looks easy to put it in have same van and am going to put it a stereo thank you video help me 👍
I really could’ve done with better overall shots around the steering column to see what you did there. Did you remove the steering column cover. Would’ve been a big help.
Do you remember what wire on the vehicle side of the harness is for the dimmer/illumination?
I ordered all the exact parts in your video, gave everything ready to go, but the plastic harness the radio sits on and bolts to the dash has plastic clips in the back that stick out on the sides and prevents the radio from going into the dash. Is that how your mount is?
Its not easy disconnecting the power point and fan motor harnesses. What's the trick in doing that.
Nice guide. I’m going to replace mine on 2016 E450. It looks the same as yours.
Good luck!
Thank you 🙏

It operates on a vacuum, but the illumination lights are separate. maybe a bad fuse

Do these have a canbus? A radio I'm thinking of getting has the ability to connect to it. As well as odb2.
Usually the RV trim’s radio don’t run on canbus, but the rest of the truck still has a data system. The idatalink maestro system still works.
Thanks for great instruction and photo. I have been dreading having to pull my RV radio - now not so much! Since you do this all the time - any issues/precautions you take WRT airbag system on newer model vehicles?
Hi, friend. where did you connect the red ACC wire?
Of the harness adapter or the radio?

I’m interested in the Aux/USB relocation kit. Did that connect to a usb off of the radio?

Enjoyed your video. Question did this unit have a plug for backup camera/right/left turn signal cameras plug?
does 2012 e series 250 regular cargo van need a smart harness? or just for RV one

Do you have a diagram for the video bypass? Doing a rv double din install here soon as well
See our pioneer microbypass video.
Hopefully it's as easy said as done!
Hey, if you make it out to Utah, we can do it for the van build if interested. Let us know!
Working on my 2012 E-350 passenger van, when removing the stock radio, there are two electrical connections on the back...what advise would you give in this?
Do you need to unplug the battery when installing a stereo?
Generally it's good practice to do so.
Where is your shop located?
Utah
@@ProvoBeastAudio Thank you.
You explained rear speaker wires but didn’t show where to hook them up. SMH.
Because this RV didn't haver rear speakers ;)
I need to remove the very top piece
Way too small to see
