Ok, well then in that case, thanks for sharing! It looks simply beautiful in your truck. Nothing like the other ugly cheaper kits in this thread. I just hope IF Alpine makes one for us that it is at least as nice.
Most of the buttons on the SW work except the answer/hang up phone buttons and the activate hands free button.. Which i dont really care about because i use an app radio 3 and it mirrors my phone with full touch on the display..Im happy with it.
This has me a bit worried. I have a Pioneer AVH-4100NEX that's been sitting here since I traded in my 2012 XLT into my 2016 XL. I purposely got the lowest audio system available, knowing the crappy stock radio would be coming out immediately (or so I thought). Had I known dash kits take this long to come out, I, quite possibly, may have kept my 2012 F-150 XLT. Yeah, that's how important my stereo/HU is to me
OK, so I use Android Auto, and this Android Auto/CarPlay HU was/is awesome when paired with my phone.
I use to use the "Hands-Free", "Hang Up" and "Answer" a lot. So, here's my question: Do you think these not working is an issue with your head unit or, maybe just the steering wheel control adapter included with the FD6209B just doesn't let you use these buttons?
(Sorry about the double post) OK, ***** (lol). My eBay offer was accepted quicker than I thought. So, item bought, paid for, & awaiting arrival. I realllllyyy hope you guys are around to annoy for information when I go to install this.

lol...yep I did the same thing... mine should be here next week..i got mine for 465.
Just wondering if I coulda got lower..my 1st bid was 400..counter was 475...i went 450 and there final was 465
Understand the frustration. I bought low end trim with full intent on putting in a nav unit... I didnt research and have been miserable driving with crap sound and no nav..
Just got this from the online owners manual...
Says hands free answer and hangup should work with a bluetooth head unit..Im bummed, voice commands only work with JVC, Alpine and Pioneer head units that have voice control... my kenwood has voice control but is not on the list

i think it's a problem with the Pioneer app radio 3 I use..My phone is rooted and i use the radio screen as i would my phone.The Answer call button works when the phone is ringing but the hang up button doesn't.. All documentation with the kit says these options should work so it may be specific to my radio.I don't know why it doesn't work.Weird for answer button to work but not hang up.
