Swapping Navigation with THX - how to do?


Recommended Posts

Hello, after hours of spending in this forum, i didn´t found the right answers.... (Sorry)

 

I have to swap the navigation head unit in my 08´Lincoln MKX. I want everything like it is, but with an aftermarket navigation system.

My favorit will be the new Pioneer AVIC-X920BT. That´s the only one you can keep the phone-steering wheel button - i found out so far.

 

-> My question: i have the THX soundsytem and i wanna keep it. Do you have a wire diagram of the THX? I know i can take PAC or Scosche / Metra. But do i need a aftermarket nav with 4/5 or 6 pre-out? I think: left front - center - right front / left rear - right rear and sub. That will be a total of 6??

 

Has anybody had done this swap before?

 

I think i need the FORDAH interface, a steering wheel interface and a frame.

The write about the FORDAH, the DSP fade is lost, and the unit will set to "ALL". Driver / Front fade is gone. I hope i can programm this at the new head unit?

 

-> About the steering wheel interface: wich one will be the best? I have read that you can´t change the telefone volume with the steering wheel buttons (PAC) if it connected with bluetooth. Do i need the bluetooth when i connect my iPhone 3Gs with the USB cable?

 

Also i want to keep the USB port in the middle console. Hope that Pioneer has a USB port on the back.

 

Can i plug into telefon mute that the backup sensors mute the radio?

 

Thanks!!!

 

If anybody knows something.......

Yep..... that´s i wanna do....BECAUSE: the navigation system is not working in EUROPE - till now i couldn´t found a map thats working...- i think it has SDAL format maps. Pioneer, Lincoln, Ford Europe will not help.

BTW, i´ve seen that the Ford Explorer is selling in Russia - with the same navigation unit. I wrote to them, but no answer... ;-(

Pioneer and Kenwood are the only one were all the steering wheel buttons will work. I need my phone answer / end call button!

that´s why i need a wire diagram of the THX system....

I rather would keep my original unit - i like the design. It fits with the whole interior.

 

Any help appreciated!
