Last time I put in a radio it had push button tuning and had a FM radio adapter.

I am thinking about installing this but am a little leery of the whole thing.

Not that I don't have the skill or tools to do it, its just kind of confusing with all the different adapters/functions they have now.

I am pretty sure I have the Premium sound system. I assume this means I have a separate amp and sub woofers? According to the Ford ETIS report I ran, it says Premium sound. I just bought the vehicle a few months ago.

In my shopping cart I have this for the installation

is this correct? I also see this in the reviews, do I need instead of the Metra harness connector? I would like to keep all functionality I have

I would appreciate advice from anyone with experience with this kind of installation and recommendations if my accessories are not what I need. I am not sure I am going to go through with this but the radio seems pretty solid from the reviews and the price is good for my budget.

thanks

You're going to need the double DIN kit, not single DIN.

Before you purchase this one, look at any of the units that can use Android Auto or Apple Car Play. You'll thank me later
