Hi all new member with a 2011 XLT will post pics soon, upgrading will be slow considering the purchase was unplanned and it is my first full size pick-up. Most of my customization has been targeted at my Harley, which makes me kinda wanna go towards that route. I rarely if ever drive in 4 wheels, usually only from mid Dec- mid Mar if that but right now I just want to upgrade my audio considering I am having some health issues and have to drive the truck right now. I am looking for something plug & play that will work with the sync if that is possible. Is there any aftermarket stuff out there like that? I also have a 2011 Mustang GT and was considering this http://www.americanmuscle.com/raxiom-gps-nav-1014.html for it, the systems are almost identical but not sure that it would work for the F150.

Kicker Soundgate Powerstage, is what I went with. Look around and you should be able to find it for about $600 for the complete system.
Speakers, amp, & sub
You won't win any audio competitions with this, but it's a huge upgrade from factory.

Do you have a link?

Found one on eBay. How hard is this to install? Does it require pulling the factory unit? Plug and play? I have linked the one on ebay below, looks cheap enough.

Running the kicker upgrades as well. Much better than the Sony system.

Ipod? Your truck should already have an aux port for that or be blue tooth compatable.

Yea it is, I guess I am going to look into replacing the complete head unit, I just thought there might be head units that worked with the Sync.
