No. Current ETA is early 2015. I will make a dedicated post when we are closer.

I posted this in a different thread, does anyone have any experience with this?


I just ran across an other problem with the Metra bezel.
When I use my "remote start" to start the Truck it used to turn on the Heat/defrost full blast. Now with the Metra bezel the truck starts but no heat/defrost.
I reattached the factory bezel and the heat/defrost comes on as it used to.


Any one else experience this?

Thank you so much. I know I can get more out of the system now. I should shoot a video and post it. It is just awesome.

For 12V Guy. And anyone that their DNX890HD Navigation screen has frozen up. First thanks you 12V Guy, he's been very helpful. I sent my unit in to a Kenwood Auth repair shop and about a month later because of back orders for the part. It was a corrupt SD memory dick. Once they received it and the repairs were done in a couple hours and shipped next day delivery. It's now back in my truck and working great.

Default 13 xlt fit question :) Merry Christmas all!

So I decided to upgrade the stereo in my 2013 XLT. I have the 4.2 inch screen. I changed out the door speakers with component speakers, out of the mono amplifier and 8 inch enclosed sub in the rear. Added a new Kenwood DDX492 head unit. I am extremely happy with all of those upgrades. When I am NOT happy about is the fit and finish of the Metra 99 - 5830 B Fit Kit. Coming out of the box it looked cheap. The finish is a flat black. Almost looks chalky. Even simple oil from your skin will discolor it. Here's my question for the forum. Could I take the bezel from an F 150 that has the factory 7 inch screen and install it in my XLT it came to factory with the 4.2 inch scream and just get a fit kit for the aftermarket stereo to fill the void. What I'm asking you if the controls for the heating excetera are the same plug and play? I will hide the 4.2 inch screen in behind the dash and I don't care about using it. And it doesn't even display the correct time and the temperature only works half of the time now. Thanks hope you all have a Merry Christmas

MyTouch plugs look the same. There isn't a "fit kit" for it. Most use the bezel to install a tablet.

Not really, I just listened to the Borla exhaust. The grusome part was I used more fuel.
