You can save a TON of info in 72 hours, much easier and better formatted than cumbersome "print screen" methods. The subscription allows you to print any/every page you view using your system printer and saving to PDF rather than reams of paper is the way to go for later reference. TIP - before you pay for the 72-hour subscription get yourself setup with a freeware 'print to PDF' utility on your PC and set that 'PDF printer' as your system default. Truly a tremendous resource, IMHO and considering what we spend on our systems the cost is minimal. ^^^ BTDT, you'll get access to the full wiring diagrams for your year/model, all entertainment system options, including location and face-diagrams for every connector and pin-assignments + wire colors throughout. The ultimate source for diagrams is here but it'll cost $22 for 72 hour access and you must have a Windows PC, not a MAC. Have you compared your connectors/wires to the 2016 F250 diagrams that are available on the site you linked? There's numerous threads here about both approaches, search is your friend! and the following docs linked from that threadĪnother approach might be possible using the PAC AMPRO module but I'm not sure that's available for your '17 F150 (yet?) and even if it is IMHO ( some others will disagree) it's a less 'elegant' solution because the Sony DSP module must remain in place and there's yet another component added to your audio chain. The details for all of this specific to various year F150s are found by search of F150 forums. they'll just be routed through your new DSP>amps>speakers instead of through the missing Sony DSP/amp module.Īn overview of the concepts is provided here on a Fusion Forum thread Variable Line Level Preamp Outputs From ACM (Factory Radio) For Amplifier Upgrades The end-result is all your OEM SYNC, phone, voice command, steering wheel controls, NAV, etc, etc, etc will be retained and work as normal. Route your now low-level, De-Eq'd, no TA (in other words 'clean and flat') ACM output to the low-level input of whatever DSP you want to use which then feeds to the amps and speakers of your heart's desire. Completely remove the now-un-necessary Sony DSP/amp module.Ĥ. Using FORScan reprogram your APIM and implement the minor re-wire between the APIM and ACM so all your SYNC etc signals are routed to the ACM rather than the Sony DSP/amp module.ģ. Using FORScan reprogram your ACM (the in-dash tuner/amp module, distinctly separate from the Sony DSP/amp module) for variable-volume low-level output with no EQ/TA.Ģ. (will probably need help tuning them once i complete the install as well)Ĭlick to expand.IMHO your best approach is:ġ. I have looked at Bit10, Helix pro and others but still not sure how to incorporate them. The main issue I haven't sorted out is how to deal with the sony DSP and get a good clean signal for amplification without losing the factory controls. I have alot of odd end parts to purchase still such as wiring, connectors for the stock audio harness (not cutting and splicing) I am working on a subbox for under the rear seat, it will be cnc cut and built in. It has 2 270A alternators and 2 batteries. I added the dual extra heavy duty alternator package to the truck when I ordered it so I shouldn't have any concerns with power. Illusion audio luccent L6 coaxial 6.5 (front) Illusion audio carbon C6 components 6.5 (front) I have purchased the following items for install: Replace all speakers and subwoofer (undecided on center channel)Īdd DSP and or LOC to obtain clean signals to amplify Retain stock HU, Nav, Sync3 and steering wheel volume control functions I am hoping to outline my design objectives and get some feedback on how to proceed with the correct DSP configuration. I have read everything from bypassing the Sony dsp, to just reprogramming the stock DSP for flat EQ curves using FORscan. I am in the process of upgrading and have read so many different threads on the subject its a bit convoluted. I own a 2017 F250 king ranch with Nav, Sync3 and Sony sound. Hello and thanks in advance for the input.
