Hey all... I installed a new steering wheel with leather and audio/heater controls on my 05 XLT screw with stock single disk H.U. I ran a swc wire from the clockspring plug #3 to the radio plug #18 as per a previous post on f150online . The steering wheel volume works perfect but the mem button doesnt seem to work right. I thought the mem button was supposed to scan the presets. Instead, the mem button when rocked to the right scans to the next station with a good signal. when rocked to the left it chooses am...fm1...fm2. Any help would be appreciated.

 

that is what the button is supposed to do...have you made your presets?


right: should go to through your preset stations, and change cd tracks
left: select between cd/aux/am/fm

 

how hard is this? Not to drop in on your topic but i have an 04 FX4 loaded but doesn't have the steering wheel controls is it something possible or am i looking at a headache?

 

I have set the pre sets but the mem button right just scans to the next available station, not the next pre set. to the left switches from am to fm1 to fm2 only. No aux or cd. It wasnt too hard to do really, I bought a leather wheel with cruise/audio/heater buttons new on ebay for $100.00, ran a wire from the clockspring to the radio and thats about it. I have a link to some better instructions if anyone is interested. I also disabled that annoying door open dinger while I was in there.

 

I am interested in the link please.

I am interested in the link. I've been meaning to do this for a while now, I already have my buttons just need to install and run the 2 wires.

 

there is an AWESOME link on this procedure on another forum site.... if i could post it i would. i am actually doing the same thing as we speak.... but im waiting for my switches to get in the mail here....

not trying to post a useless post, so if you PM me, i will email you the link to the post with pics and a full write up. it was created back in 2005 or 2006..... he did a great job.

This is the thread I went by, helped alot. I still have the problem though of the mem button not scanning pre sets. Instead it scans to the next available station with a good signal. Anyone else run across this?
