Ahhh...still looks pretty good. A good dash kit will come with the trim ring around the radio (The one you are using would not be necessary) and fill the gap. Searching around the kits are usually less than $20.
Something odd about the dash kit you used. Is there a gap at the top an bottom of the radio?
This radio is in a 2011 Expedition EL Limited

Your in luck. You can use an “idatalink maestro” rr module...and correct harness. This will greatly simplify your install. This harness will directly communicate with your can bus in the car and retain all kinds of factory features....and add tons of new ones including engine performance...
Here is an install on a 2011 Expedition EL Limited. I used an iDatalink Maestro harness for easy install, I also get some gauge readings...like coolant temp as well as individual tire pressure. It tied into the factory amp, GPS antenna and rear camera. Some of those required additional...
Just want to understand. You bought a a radio from Best Buy. You bought the additional parts for the install, but they were incorrect. You did not take advantage of the free install labor. My guess is that ultimately the person installing your radio would have realized the same conclusion...
FIXED...!!!!
A) Techron Fuel System Cleaner procedure. Two tanks
B) I kept car turned off while refueling
gauge works perfect. Thanks for all the help....!!!
Good point on the dash kits...they are getting better. Make sure you use Metra Kits. Unfortunately the technology has made tremendous leaps since 2012...CarPlay and Android Auto work fantastic..and this is rendering the factory radios from that 2012 time obsolete. Alpine does have an 8”...
Thanks for all the help on this
A) I started the Techron Fuel System Cleaner procedure. I have yet to get thru one full tank but will post result
B) yes, I did have the car running as I was filling the tank...I probably do that 80% of the time, but this is the first experience with the gauge...
Low fuel light on. Stopped at gas station to fill tank, once filled fuel gauge showed 3/4 full. After about twenty minutes gauge finally went to full. Operation seems normal now. Anyone else seeing this?
