Reprogramming MFT Sony Head Unit

[Bigeffr]

Ordered analog OEM camera from www.camera-source.com. Scheduled to be installed on 3/5/16. There will also be a module for the NAV-TV that allows analog camera input added to the current setup.

Camera installed along with the NAV-TV part and works perfectly. Actually the new front cameras image is way better than stock.

Looking at the diagram below, I wonder how the non-sony ACM controls volume to the nav voice? I haven't run across a block diagram for the non-sony to see the difference. It seems that if they could re-flash the ACM to make RF and LF variable, they could also make the Nav signal variable (maybe?) Also, instead of re-flashing, what if you just subbed in a non-sony ACM, is it basically the same as re-flashing? I think Ford should re-flash ours for free out of disgust of the sony sound, lol.

Back to the shop for what everyone thinks and has confirmed with vendors and Ford what will be a swap out of the head unit with an aftermarket head unit without losing any of seat heat AC controls.

I changed jobs and have not had as much time for the forums but I had the Scosche dash kit with integrated HVAC installed along with a Pioneer NEX head unit. Ford F150 Dash Kit 2013, 2014, 2015 | FD6206B | by Scosche


It has been installed for about a month and everything is working perfectly. I still have my seat heater/AC controls with a much better listening experience with the aftermarket hardware installed. I will have a video posted soon on my youtube channel going over the Dash kit.

So you gave up the heated and cooled seat control correct?

 

[Bigeffr]

No...like I said I still have seat heaters and seat cooling. Everything works just like stock except the cameras which I also had to replace but I no longer need Nav-TV - just the new Pioneer head unit.

Thanks. I didn't realize the Scosche kit had the seat controls in the HVAC. That's interesting. Are you happy with the cosmetic fit and finish?

 

[Bigeffr]

Yes fit and finish is perfect - my video should be posted either later tonight or tomorrow morning on my youtube page and you can see for yourself
