Got a new 2011 F350 SD XL work truck back in April. It came with the standard AM/FM unit. I purchased a brand new OEM AM/FM/CD/MP3 (BC3T-18C869-AB) with the blue lettering in the display off eBay last week.
Installed the unit, and most everything works fine.....except the radio's illumination isn't working. The display works, and that's all.
I've seen a lot of posts, regardless of the manufacturer, talking about reprogramming radios after upgrade or replacement.
What exactly is that all about? I mean, what are the particulars involving flashing/reprogramming the unit? Do you think that is what I need to have done?
