But on my 2006 Explorer it worked plug and play

No problems here. The manual is sparse and doesn't offer much information on installation and connection. But on my 2006 explorer it worked on a plug and play basis. You need to remove the brackets from the factory Ford radio and install on this unit. No screws were provided, but I found the screws typically used to attach a computer hard drive work great. The only issues I had were: 1) the included antenna adapter was the wrong one for my model and 2) the wiring for the factory subwoofer was a bit mysterious - you need to connect the individual wires to the blue/white stripe together ( not part of multi-pin connectors). Once I figured that out, the subwoofer worked, but it buzzed every time I turned the unit on. This problem was solved by matching a 4700 ohm resistor to the blue/white wires. The radio sounds just as good as the factory radio and has plenty of power. Steering wheel controls, GPS and a speakerphone also work well. The radio lacks RDS/PTY, which is surprising, and you can only switch between six radio stations at once using the steering wheel controls. Otherwise I have no complaints. It's been up and running for over a month now and I've had no problems. It's a good radio for the price.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Not the best
