I have started to look for a navigation radio replacement and am quickly overwhelmed with the amount of radios and all the mixed reviews on them. The backlight on my stock radio is not working so I figured it would be a good time to upgrade. Im looking for a radio that has navigation, Bluetooth, and a port for a back up camera. Satellite radio would also be nice but isn't a priority. What nav radios have you guys purchased and how do you like them?

Thank you,
Alec

Has all the items you mentioned plus an HDMI input and phone mirroring. I like it, but I recommend getting the remote as well.

I have a ken wood in my 05 work truck, always liked my ken wood and grew up an Alpine guy working at Circuit City

You might consider one of Garmin's advanced NUVI GPS systems. You can put it in the "well" on top of the 2015 F-150 dash and have yourself an excellent GPS system, with a 7" screen, portable, better than most "built in" systems and you save a load of cash and free up your OEM unit while using the GPS.

FWIW

Thanks for the input. The kenwoods look the nicest to me so far. Are they easy to self install?

Yes they are, I got my Kenwood DNX892 from crutchfield and installed everything myself! Which consisted of a new siriusxm 300 tuner, Maeastro RR (to retain sync and steering wheel controls), a pac usb adapter mounted in my console, and a oem ford style upgraded backup cam from The Camera Source!

Take a trip over to the stereo/Audio forum that's on this site as well for some great write ups on this type of swap.

Thanks again for the replies. They have helped me out a lot. I see many people talking about ordering from crutchfield. Compared to Amazon they seem to be about $200 more expensive for the kenwood radios. Is there a reason why you guys choose crutchfield over other sellers?

You should consider Alpine and they have solutions for the Mid and Low trim level F150's from 2009 - 2014

These kits aren't cheap but they integrate like they were a Line installed radio option.
Just a thought
