Default AC controls

Does this work if you have the factory "**** style" AC controls. Non digital.

Default Wiring Harness

I assume i would still need to purchase the wiring harness for the actual stereo to mate up with the ford factory wiring, or does the dash kit come with this as well?

Trying to piece the whole thing together and not sure if i need to purchase the metra kit (i think that is the steering wheel control module), and the wiring harness for the stereo. (think install stuff that comes in crutchfield purchase).

Pretty sure the answer is "of course you need that", but just asking.

Glad some area already diving in because i plan to.

I was going off the review of the install... Quote: "Most of the buttons on the SW work except the answer/hang up phone buttons and the activate hands free button.. "

Maybe it's just a stereo issue with his install?

Every harness you need should be in the kit.

Comes with everything you need bud.. Today was my 1st day out all day in my truck, not having a hang up button working on my steering wheel stinks but for me it's not a big deal.. I need some other people to chime in who have this kit because my 1 big issue is with it is my rear defrost and side mirror defrost isn't working. I press the button and the light doesn't come on.

Yeah,i did.... Auto Start/Stop doesn't rev down the AC anymore either. AC no longer affects the trucks decision on whether to turn off or on..I left a message with their customer support to see if this is the intended result they went with or if I should be resetting something..I'm pretty sure rear and side mirror defrost should be working though lol..
