i have a 2010 f150 with factory sync stereo( no nav). Why ford give you a expensive voice recognition system and forgot about the stereo(music). i can not go over half volume without pick serious distorsion. The worst; there is not aftermarket solution yet; unless you cut an ugly hole in the dash and install what you want then fill it up with bondo.... FORD drop the ball in the stereo, They may think that a truck guy do not listen music only use the time to train the sync system as a hobby..... 1 to 10 rate (10 best) the factory stereo is 3.

 

I do not know why either. Most cars nowadays come with a fairly decent factory amped system standard. The Ford stereo is junk. They are acting like it is still the 70's when cars came with junk stereos.

 

my buddy's parents have a fusion with an excellent sterio, and my mom's 2010 escape has a great system as well

 

idk my 2007s stereo is good enough for me, i dont blast my stereo though so that might be why

 

^^ I bet you just like to listen to the truck!

 

I kept the factory head unit in mine, 2009 FX4. Upgraded all the speakers to Pioneers, ran new wires from the head unit to a MTX Req-5 sound processor, then from there to a 4-channel amp for the speakers and a 1 channel mono amp for the sub. Put a sealed 10 inch sub under the rear passenger seat like the factory setup. I mounted everything behind the rear seat. Sounds great and looks factory. I chose the "premium" system over the factory Sony system because I knew I was gonna be replacing all that stuff anyway. I listened to the Sony system a few times while shopping for trucks and was not impressed at all. My total investment was under $400.

 

pretty much lol the supercharger whine is the best stereo ever but when i listen to music it never gets above half way and that sounds great to me. pretty much half my life so far has been playing guitar and drums so its not like i dont know how good music sounds either

 

sounds like a warranty problem i have driven 100s of fords and at full volume there is very little distortion.unless its the way you record your music.

 

Is this the same fit as yours. http://www.scosche.com/products/productID/1854

Looks different than my 2008.

 

I've had my 2010 F150 for a few months now. It came
with the, I guess the standard stereo with CD player.
I turned the volume all the way up and had no distorsion
what so ever. The bass was factory set at mid range and
when I turned it to full bass, the whole truck shook.

I'm not a loud music lover by any means but I think
Ford put a very good unit in my F150..
