Things to know

-Pre-programmed to function with your vehicle's SYNC® bluetooth feature. If you do not currently have SYNC® this upgrade will not add it. Vehicles not equipped with SYNC® can disregard the instructions of installing the XP1, XP2, and replacement right-hand steering wheel control.

-Pre-programmed to function with your vehicle's existing SiriusXM® satellite radio antenna. Simply follow the directions to install the Brick kit's included Sirius/GPS splitter to retain the feature. Vehicle's not equipped with SiriusXM® satellite radio will be required to install our Ford GPS Antenna (sold separately).

-Pre-programmed to function with your vehicle's existing back-up rear view camera, simply add our Rear View Mirror Backup Camera Reroute Kit.

-Pre-programmed to function in trucks equipped with the Sony® sound system. If your truck is not equipped with Sony® sound, a plug & play amplifier will be included with this purchase within the BRICK installation kit.

-A plug & play amplifier will be included with this purchase and will allow for simple & clean audio upgrade in all models.

* Due to frequent changes in navigation mapping & point of interest updates our GPS navigation radios may have out-of-date software.

Known Issues

Disc drive errors

LCD and Digitizer issues

Hard Drive issue - Likely unrepairable if the case, the hard drive cannot be swapped to a different unit unless it's the same part number model, and even then it may still not work

GPS is known to take a while to lock on. It can take a couple of days to get a good lock. Typically we exchange a F-GPSP with the splitter and this corrects the issue.
