2005 f350 lariat - how to swap a new stereo
hey all.
have a 2005 f350 lariat with steering wheel stereo controls. wanting to put in a screen with CarPlay and retain the ability to use the buttons on the wheel for volume, skip, etc.
what screen stereos are best? is there a kit that is pretty straightforward for install?
If anyone has done something like this I'd love to see and hear what you have done

Get with Crutchfeild, you’ll need a few additional things such as a trim plate, and interface such as this. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_249FD6...e.html?tp=2977 and this. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_003FMK...k.html?tp=3121 And I always recommend don’t cheap out, buy a quality brand name system i.e. Pioneer, Kenwood. Alpine etc. They also have a service where they’ll prewire the interface to your new head unit (for a small fee) which pretty much makes it plug and play. They have great customer service if you have any questions, or issues, just give them a call. https://www.crutchfield.com/car/outfitmycar/mycar.aspx Let us know if you have any other questions.
