I just placed my order on a new 2018 XLT F250 Crew Cab and have a question regarding the factory stereo. I got the XLT Premium Package so it is coming with the 8" screen with SYNC 3 and I'm assuming just the six speaker stereo system. I want to add the stereo equipment I removed from my F150 Crew but I'm not exactly sure which adapter is needed. I've see the PAC AP4-FD21 and I know iDataLink makes one too but they all seem like they are for the Sony system only. Can anybody verify what adapter I will need to keep the factory 8" screen but give me preouts to go to my processor??

Thanks,

Shane

 

Have you tried the chat help on Crutchfield? They're usually pretty good. Though they did steer me wrong once on an antenna adapter for a Pioneer to my factory antenna on a Mustang GT.

 

My xlt with the same package has the center channel as well.

 

Schlava,

Do you have the Sony amp behind the rear seat on drivers side ??

No just the additional center speaker. It's the same setup that was in my 2015 lariat f150.

 

That's strange. I don't know how the factory deck could support seven speakers without an external amp.
