So im looking at getting a new sound system with a kenwood deck that supports the sync, but what am I looking at for other components? I'm looking at probably putting in a sub and a few tweeters. Stock speakers are fine for now. So do I need this PAC system? Do I need to require the speakers or what? Will this kenwood deck cause any problems and does anyone know where to find bezels in the 2011 fx4 finish for double Dins?

PAC MSFRD1 or METRA AXXESS FRST will keep sync and connect ur double din

METRA has bezels to keep ur fx dash of u don't have that "matrix" print like my '10 did

Don't know jack about speakers so couldn't tell u that. But u would still need PAC/METRA harness.

Kenwood is second on my list after pioneer head units.

Metra seems to only sell the one with the navigation buttons, since the nav button setup is different than the stock stereo.

Look at scoshe (I think that's how u spell it lol) I have a 7" pioneer deck in my truck and I also had non navigation buttons. Idk if anybody makes the fx4 gloss black finish though. U might have to get it painted. As for speakers, I have jl components in the front doors. They come with tweeters which I mounted in the triangle space where the air blows put for the driver and passenger Windows. In the back doors I have jl 6x8. A thousand watt sub under the back seat that powered all the speakers, and a single amp that powered my 10" sub also under the backseat

Yes but they all seem to have the info setup reset buttons and my f150 has the screen so those aren't there. Need to find a place that makes a 2011-12 f150 bezel

Oh. I didn't know u had the navigation system. I thought u had the base model and that's why u wanted to change it out. In that case, I'd just get the PAC adapter that let's u run aftermarket amps and speakers. I wouldn't change out the nav screen for an aftermarket unless u are nit picky about ur sounds.

Sorry Lol by my truck has the screen I meant the screen in the gauges so it has no info setup reset buttons in the dash. So basically it just has the hazard traction control and pass airbag buttons right in the center and all the kits they make have 6 buttons up top.

What kind of kenwood are u getting? Double din or single? If ur getting a double, then here is the kit that I currently have in my truck. This one has the three buttons in the middle for airbag etc.

I just did a sound system swap on my 09. I would go ahead and swap out the speakers if i were you tons better sound. I went with the infinity kappa 6x8 in the front and back.
