Hi,
it is a USA Version you can´t buy a Expedition in Germany.
If you want to have one in germany you have to import it (or buy a used one, but they are very rarely here).

The problem is that someone brake in and stole some parts. And anyone repaired the car but he built in wrong spare parts so the climate and heating system doesn´t work. It is a wrong radio built in (doesn´t fit) and some claddings are missing.

I will repair and drive the car for my self (and my familiy).

Best Regards
Benjamin

Hi,

My problem is that the complete AC and heating system doesnt´t work and i don´t know which is a Radio/Navi that will fit.

Kind Regards

Does anyone know which will fit?

Welcome to the expy family, nice shop you have there, let the mods begin, enjoy your ride

When you buy an aftemarket stereo tell them you need the wire kit, the kit only goes in one way, cant mess that up, or are you putting a stock system back in, and if so is it different?

first off nice truck! the all black with the factory f150 20s looks sick!

a factory radio or nav out any 03-06 expedition/navigator will work

 

[ExpiGator]

hey yep, what expedition said. NICE

mine is black also.

you have the automatic temp air cond.

you can buy the paper factory manuals pretty inexpensive. they might come in handy.

look on ebay at expedition radio/nav systems and compare your wiring.

Hi,

i just bought a new (used one) climate control unit. Because the one that was built in in my car was from a 2005 modell so i think that is the reason why it doesn´t work.

And i will look if i find a OEM radio on ebay.

The problem is that i have to pay the shipping costs for all parts + 10% for our state + 19% for the fiscal authority. Welcome to Germany

[dgray69]

yikes, im glad there a dime a dozen here in the states, but you will enjoy it when you get it together, we all love are expys, even when theres problems

 

[Alcomohol]

Yes i know i love him just right now whether he has some problems.

But i know that before i buy him.

That's awesome that you are driving an Expedition in Germany. The problems you have are minor and should not be too hard to fix. Maybe you should look into getting a tuner so it doesn't hit the limiter when driving on the autobahn.
