I think he may be asking about an OEM radio upgrade?

May want to ask over in the 1999-2016 Superduty section rather than this 6.2 section.

I plan on swapping over to an aftermarket unit, and will have a factory CD XLT radio from my 2015.

I'm really not sure why you wouldn't want to just go aftermarket even with some of the more basic radios, ie not video screens.

Even the best installs don't look factory. More likely to get stolen. Added cost for steering controls.

My OEM radio with CD crapped out a few months ago. I too elected to stay with the OEM radio. I bought a refurb from Ford and it still cost $500. even after the buddy discount. Another $75. to link the radio with my steering wheel controls. If this one craps out Ill go aftermarket. 2014 F250 XLT
