So I've done this a few times, replacing the factory radio with an aftermarket unit. It's very simple and generally plug and play.


Pull the old unit, get the right adapter to plug the factory wiring harness and antenna into, plug them into the new unit and your done. However this time on my 2016 F250 I get no power to the new Pioneer radio. I have another radio, a Kenwood from a 2010 f250, same harness and everything plug it in and it has no power either. Then the truck won't start, all very strange.


So I replace everything right back to stock and all is normal. So I'm curious if something has changed with the factory plug or something on the 2016's. No one makes a adapter for a 2016 so I figured they are all the same. My factory unit is a AM/FM CD without sync.


As I said it is usually easy. And again I reinstalled the factory unit and everything works fine, so no blown fuses.

 

Way too new for me to look at diagrams or anything. You might go to the Crutchfield site. See if they have adapters for this truck and if they are all the same part number. They are pretty good on the latest stuff usually.
