Update to my 9-27-2018 post
Tothemax - The dealership wanted $795 to perform the diagnostic evaluation, another $750 for a replacement unit (2-3 weeks wait on the order), I was looking at another $105 to "flash" the new unit, and I'm sure that associated labor for the removal/re-install would have brought the total cost to right around $2,000.
I'm not sure why I would pay that $2K, or your suggested $700 for an installed aftermarket unit, when I've already had my original unit repaired for $160, removed and re-installed at only the cost of about 1.5 hours of my own labor. I'm also not sure why anyone else would spend that kind of money if they're experiencing the same audio system issues and are able to follow the lead and suggestions of several of us on this chain??
Thanks for your offer though!

700$ well spent on a great aftermarket upgrade. Touch screen is nice. Lots of features.

$700 is actually a decent price for a system far and away superior than anything Ford ever installed on the line.
With the above said, I went top of the line in my truck. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500X00....html?tp=49934 It's all very subjective so if you think $700 is high, don't click on the link I posted above lol.

aftermarket Alpine system
Rnlcomp / Tothemax - I can't deny that the Alpine X009-FD2 system is likely far superior to the OEM unit (link provided by Rnlcomp) but the link also says it's a $2300 system, discounted at -$700 (down from $3K).
Tothemax - I don't suppose this is the system you would install for $700 is it?

I went with a pioneer with a 5 year extended warranty for 50$ extra.
The price has dropped s little since I had it installed as its "old" technology.
I would have to look back but maybe I paid less than 700. It was last year that I had it installed.

I started to have this problem in my '13 F150. I am guessing it's the ACM. Anyone just pulled it out and just installed a aftermarket radio? I'm thinking about doing it and just wanted to know how big of a pain it will be to do.

2012 F150 My radio popped the other day and cycled on/off then worked. Then a few days later it did the same thing but this time it now longer works. The time flashes in the center of the screen. It still shows Temp, BT and Direction.
I pulled the negative terminal from the battery and reconnected and it did reset it but the next morning... Time flashing in the center of the screen.
any ideas? (other than going to the dealer)
Thanks
