Alpine to release F150 radio Replacement

[NUTHINGOESRITE]

Nope, not gonna raise it, and here is why... (and tell me what you think). The stock screen sits back in the dash almost 1/2 inch. This radio will be more flush with the bezel, so I am hoping that it will help cut down on the glare. I can't set the radio back any further unless I make my own mounts, which I might end up doing. I hope to get the bezel back tonight so I can put it in and get a rough idea of how much further it will stick out.

I am thinking the same, maybe his name "NUTHINGOESRITE" has something to do with it , hummm... probably related to me.

Judging from the installation manual it's pretty straight forward, unless the manual has skipped a step.

What disassembly, the radio/AC controls?

Yeppers, the A/C controls. Couldn't you remove/install as a complete unit?

Umm, you can also go Kenwood, and drop about a thousand less, and get full maestro.

here is my 2012 with 801A - it has full control, the only thing you lose are the hard buttons for stereo on the dash, climate buttons work, full control from screen and steering wheel. TPMS by wheel (finally), OBD integration so no idiot lights, actual messages, a range of gauge instruments (airflow, g accel, etc..) even retain front and rear cameras. It runs android, which is good (updates) and bad (could be a bit faster).

very nice! Like the kenwood setup. Does it support heated/cooled seats as well?

So apparently even if I wanted to pay all that money it still wouldn't work in my 13 raptor without the sony package.

Do you get any off-road NAV capabilities?
