Video

Excellent video! Never knew there was a test circuit. My rear defrost doesn’t work anyway. 14 gauge wire to extend where you needed to?

What the red light under your steering wheel? Asking because I have the same thing and idk what it is.

so that rear crossmember is a must do?

Holy mother of Jesus, I had no idea removing the seats would be so involved.. Just bought a 2015 and was thinking about removing mine, which I'll never use, just to save some weight back there.. Figured it would be as simple as unplugging a wire harness, removing 4-6 bolts, and they'd lift out. Your video makes it clear that the procedure is waaaaay over my head. Instead I'll just fold them down ... forever) and cover with a Weather Tech mat. Thanks for letting us know just how involved this is...

what the hell.. over 3+ minutes of commercials? Not cool...

Thanks Todd, appreciate the help

My 2017 explorer has power 3rd row seats, the left seat is out of alignment and won't fold into position either way. Will the dealer have to do all this removal of trim to fix?

I am looking to do the reverse you did on a friends car. Do you by a chance still have all the parts you removed and where are you located about? Maybe we can work something out.

Wait…umm…how do I get the seats out after taking the two bolts out? I don’t work on things like this, typically…I feel like I missed something.

Thank you so much for making this niche video. -2 ?’s if you have the time… Do I have to disconnect the battery if I don’t have electronic seats, though? I do have power windows…but unsure/unfamiliar with what else might be back there. Also…once I’ve flattened the seat, flipping the lever again doesn’t tip mine up…not sure if that will be an issue beyond the tight working area. Should it or is that only on models with electric seats/higher package? 2016 4x4 Explorer. Thanks again!

Wonderful video. Ingenious use of the test wire to the back. I never would have thought if that. Thank you sir!!!

This video was helpful! I have the same issue with a stuck lower latch on the left seat. I would like to replace the latch. You think there is a way to remove the seat without cutting the U-bolt on the latch? Or do you know if the U-bolt is replacable if i do cut it?

Can you replace the seats with manual seats once you take the power ones out?

Thank you!

Never realized that removing this seat would be this involved!😮

It turns out my 7-pin hitch doesn't have power. It was easy enough to route over to the left tail light assembly and grab the power there. Now I hear that there may be a missing relay for the trailer power. Off to go check! Great video!

Just wanted to say i followed this and it worked! Have a 2012 fe and pretty much same as this except had to remove some bottom attachments that were sort of like rat traps (watch the hands!) and the electronics clips were a little different (speakers towards the front)…thanks for posting, now ive got more room for car camping….they definitely make it pretty difficult to do this and im not sure why (maybe they dont want you to make it more lightweight because of rollover?)

really thankful someone made a video on this, it has been a daunting task since im stripping half the interior of my 2015 Explorer so thank you

Where do you put your spare tire?

thanks for the video.. I was looking to find which wire from the diagnostic port could be used as a spare wire to hook up my tach. Doing a subaru engine swap in a 74 bus. thank you. Blue/white wire!

Not everyone has an aftermarket 8 pin accessory. I was looking for wiring for the taillight harness under the bump[er

Thank you Bro!!

This was great bro thank you im 15 just tryna learn this thank you again💯

Where did you get the bezel that you screwed in front of the head unit? I have a different version that is a 6.2in unit

you made that look really easy. Im having trouble with the wholes in the rubber too but they are more like slots on the part I got, Brazilian I think.

That was a great video

Did you have to trim the dash surround at all?

Okay so where you hooked up the power wire to the trailer harness if you would have just spliced into the middle wire which is the black-and-white grain that is your actual reverse wire for your trailer light harness

what deck is this??

Great vid, thanks. Only thing I might add that you didn’t mention is to clock your CV Joints so they will articulate properly. Small point one end wide flange on the other

Another thing that would have been easier, you could have spliced into the back up light for the power, that way it triggers the camera to come on when you put the truck in reverse, wouldn’t have needed the relay and extra wiring

Always solder your connections

Great video - thanks for the effort to do

Hi Todd in the process of changing my CV joints all bolts removed and the wheel end drops off but at the gearbox end the CV joint won't budge - what's your thoughts as I'm scratching my head at the moment. Don't want to cause any damage by hitting hit to free it

I need to rotate the camera phone to horizontal next time...sorry for things being off screen sometimes. I could see everything on the phone screen when I recorded it!

Thanks for sharing your fitting guide with us as it will come in very handy for when I fit mine too. The only other non related question I was wanting to ask you was that you have a dash switch without and emblem to say what the switch is for below your tachometer and I have one exactly the same and haven't found out what it's for. I was hoping you could shed light on what yours is used for ? Thanks

Nicely done sir 🤙

Thank you for sharing. Gasoline leaks a lot at the bottom of my bus when I fill it till pump clicks. So I just put 3/4 of fuel capacity. Now I will go check if there are cracks near the top of fuel neck. New sub here. 😊

Please slow down the camera movements next time.

Be nice to see what you're cutting but I got this.

Thanks for the video. I have to say the. most important part for me is around 9:17 where you show where the back up light power wire is. This is used for the back up camera function. What a time saver! Just this little tip alone saved me hours of research! Thanks again!

Funny that the part of cutting the opening to size portion of the video might as well have just been audio. Worthless.

You're a professional installer, we will be at SEMA please check us out.

thanks, better to replace before seeing a burning kombi

i failed installing a similar head unit and license plate backup camera. this is encouraging and will manage to attempt again to see if I can get it work.

My stereo has 3 color wires the factory doesn't have a brown , blue , and pink one should i leave those out?

all videos I've seen on this topic cut out the part I need, which is wiring from back to stereo..

How much would you charge me to do mine?

How do you hook up a review camera on a 1989 Chevy s10

Good information. Thanks. One note. You can run the bluetooth mike wire down the A pillar and you never see it . The mike clips to the trim on the A pillar very nicely.
