My 1989 Centurion had the TV in the center console. There is an audio wire with a standard 3.5mm audio jack that runs into the console. I assume this is to play the TV audio through the vehicle speakers. Does anyone know how that works?
The rocker switch that says "TV" doesn't seem to switch on the audio. I think it just switches 12v power to the TV.
wish you luck with anything centurion today, i had a 95 f`150 done by them, omg what a nightmare,
Luckily, my truck is very intact, still. Only 25k miles and no modifications post-Centurion. I am in the process of chasing that audio wire, but was hoping someone just knew already. I know sometimes there are audio systems where you have to tune to a certain station on the radio, but I don't think that's the case here.
don't hold me but i think they had their own speakers in the panels, my issues all came from how they mounted the fiberglass spoilers,running boards and windshield cover, self drilling and tapping sheet metal screws right into the wire harness, plus the truck had carb emissions the truck was sold in nj, not one dealer knew anything about cailf emissions yet in jersey
thou in your case there's a facebook group that may help you google centurian conversions as the link is blocked
what did they use. you name it, plus a lot of duct tape,sheet metal screws, twist on wire nuts, clear coat paint over decals that peeled off in sheets,

The wiring seems like it'd have been sketch back in the 90s, let alone now. They used big chunky PC style connectors.
The frame was stretched on mine, thankfully that seems fine. But the cab body joining could've been better. That where I have most of the body issues.
I've pulled alot of the random electronics out they had installed. It must've been the bees knees back in 96, but super blah now.
I plan to rewire the overhead switches and underdash stuff one day.
Yeah, so... That audio jack was actually a 3.5 mm antenna. Figured this out when I chased the wire under the floor (had to remove driver seat), up the B pillar (had to remove the seat belt and trim, above the headliner, and into the overhead console, where the ends were just a coiled loop. After I realized this, I looked at the jack, and yep, a 3.5mm antenna jack does not look like a 3.5mm audio jack... shoot.
So now, I'm back to trying to actually mod my radio unit in a decent way. I've seen Bluetooth added to 80's/90's era stereos, but most everything I've seen is more of a hack than a sophisticated modification. Either it's "running" the tape deck, or you lose FM when the bluetooth is paired. I'm not an electronics genius, but there has to be a better way.
I love my truck too. Everyone that sees it has something to say.
For the radio, I went with an OBS Interiors double din. Nice kit. I originally thought about a floating monitor style, bit was concerned since it's a manual.
@Edgethis Every time I see a pic of your truck, I cringe thinking about maneuverability! When I went from my former '97 SCSB to the longer '95 SCLB, I was shocked at the increase in turning circle. That's just an ~16" increase in wheelbase from 138.8" to 155". I tried to do a U-turn with the LB, still in FL where I bought it, and ran up on the curb of a 4-lane road, whereas the SB made that same kind of U-turn easily... Also made a big difference in backing my 16' open trailer around the S-turn driveway to the back garage.... Yours is what, (doing the math here -- 168.4" for the CC + another ~16" for the SC...) 184.6-ish inch wheelbase??? YIKES!!! I can only imagine your SuperCrewCab has a turning 'orbit', LOL! When going shopping where do you find a place to park that extra-long, extra-wide (dually) behemoth???
