    Rear camera install

    I know this is an older thread--but, there isn't much info on how to wire these reverse cameras. What path did you use to run the wires from the rubber grommet between the tail gate/body to the front of the truck? Did you just fish it along above the head liner? Or, above the doors...

    Looking for recommendations to replace factory speakers.

    I got the real Clarion mic in last week and installed. I've used it a few times since and all seems to be working well. I have my mic gain set at the 10 position (out of 15) and the people I've talked to say that this setting doesn't have any background noise but they can still hear my voice...

    Looking for recommendations to replace factory speakers.

    Getting in and adjusting the sound on the head unit made all the difference. Thanks for the suggestions. Now, I need to find a better external mic for my bluetooth setup. I picked up the Clarion external mic along with the head unit. However, I'm getting either too much background noise or not...

    Looking for recommendations to replace factory speakers.

    Thank you both for the advice. I will look at downloading the RTA to my phone and use that to make more adjustments. It sounds like there are more options on the stereo than I initially found. And, no I'm not a big audiophile. So, I'll take the advice given and it will likely result in enough...

    Looking for recommendations to replace factory speakers.

    I have a 2008 Expedition XLT with base audio system and w/o factory subwoofer. I replaced the head unit with a Clarion NX404 in order to get navigation and bluetooth capabilities. The factory system sounded good to me but it just didn't have the features I needed. Now the sound just seems a bit...

    Clarion head unit not powering rear door speakers

    To get to the plug for the rear seat controls you need to pull the panel on the top rear of the console. The panel houses the two cupholders shown in the following photo. Pull the panel straight up releasing the clips. The plug is readily visible attached to the rear of the rear control...

    I'll pull the panel and take a couple pics showing the plug and the pins to cross. Chris

    Clarion head unit not powering rear door speakers

    Nevermind. The guys at Crutchfield helped me figure it out. It turns out that the rear seat controls were still partially active. They were cycling on and off which is what was causing the on/off situation. Also, the volume for the rsc was starting out low which is why the volume level was...

    Clarion head unit not powering rear door speakers

    Hi guys. I just picked up a 2008 Expedition XLT with the base audio (no sub, single CD). This is my first post on this forum. I used to have a 2002 XLT and am glad to have a big vehicle again. I just installed a Clarion NX404 head unit to get navigation and bluetooth. After I installed the...
