There's conflicting information regarding what works with the 2009-2010 Sony system. Using the part number above some auctions say it works with the 09-10 Sony system. Some auctions specifically say that it doesn't. I can't get a straight answer either way

No problem. Well worth the money IMHO. It came in about 2 days also.

I can't say. I just know what worked for me.

I have heard that this kicker system eliminates that tweeters in the pillars. Is this true? And if so is there an easy way to keep them hooked up? I find them incredible and I even added my own 2 inch pioneers on my last 150 in the pad behind the mirrors. The factory speaker location is under my left leg and knee and I worry about proper imaging.
Thanks

I am sorry but we cannot confirm either question here. I know there have been some here who have mixed components with success but we can only go by what Ford tells us.

Perhaps others can chime in here with more info

Default 2015 Stereo Upgrade?

Can anyone tell me if I can use this Ford Kicker Upgrade Package in my 2015 F150 Screw 8" Display non-Sony stereo with Voice activated NAV? I have heard yes and I have heard no, so before I purchase something that I cannot use, I would appreciate any knowledgeable input anyone may have!

2013 2014 Ford F-150 Super Crew Stereo Kicker Upgrade System New!
This Is For The 8" Or 4.2" Screens. NOT the Base Radio
DL3Z-18808-A

Thank you in advance!

I believe there were major changes made to wiring in 2015 and this kit will not work. At this time Ford does not have any listed for the 2015.

Default 2015 owners are out of luck BUT Kicker Hideaway may be the way to go!

After finding out the Bad News that the wiring harness on these package deals is different on the 2015 from the 2014's, I decided to go another route. I got a deal locally on the Kicker Hideaway and after installing it today, I will say that it fills in the bass very nicely in a factory system that was sorely lacking it! Still using the stock speakers and having adjusted the Treble & Midrange up in the Head Unit, I have to admit it was money well spent. The Kicker Hideaway is not a boom/boom subwoofer that your neighbors will hear as you drive by but it does put out serious bass and fill in the full range very nicely in the 2015 with non-Sony stereo and Voice Activated NAV system.

By any chance do you know or can you find out what the 2015 F150 non-Sony head unit's actual power output is? Some have suggested 14W per channel while others 7W per channel, so if you could provide the actual details, I would truly appreciate it. Thanks!
