Hi, First off any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a 09 xlt with sync,sirius, 6disc, NO nav. I am trying to install a new kenwood ddx770. I am trying to get rid of sync and will worry about steering wheel controls later if it bothers me. I got a metra 70-5520 , which is obviously the wrong one as only pins 1 and 13 line up(batt power and ground) per here https://www.f150forum.com/attachments/f30/119761-2011-f150-screw-build-install-radio-harness.jpg Now can I hardwire it and if so what connects where? If I cant can you point me to what harness I need??? Its killing me lol no stereo shops around here and I have 2 new polk mm1240 12's all new polk highs on 2 amps all dieing to be connected and tried out. Ive searched and searched but cant quite find much info on harnesses to ditch sync and controls

Ok so I have my batt power and ground off the radio plug. I believe I found one that will work for the blue kewood power on wire over in the trailer brake plug. If it works I have a red ignition wire, the orange dimmer, and power antennae left on back of deck. Are any of those necessary or can be tied in somewhere? Its 10 degrees and im done probing in the dark, will get back at it tomorrow. Any pointers would be appreciated.

This is what you could have used to save you time.

He said that his didn't work but I think something was wired wrong.

No wyo, I had the standard 5520 harness for 03 and up fords, not the one he is referring to. After I understood what was what it was super simple to just hardwire it, since I dont need anything from factory wiring(ditched sync, ran all new speaker wire). Just grabbed the constant 12v and the ground from stock radio harness and ran a mini "tap" fuse to the dimmer/ignition fuse(I dont recall fuse 41 or 39, think it was the latter but its in the owners manual I didnt think I had!!) for the red kenwood ignition wire and orange dimmer wire as well....all set......removing the molex plugs to drill for new speaker wire was real PITA though!

I wish I had saw this sooner, it would have saved you sooooo much time! Glad you got it working though.
