If anyone has questions about replacing the factory radio in their 2007 Sport Trac, post the questions here. I replaced my factory head unit with the Pioneer AVIC-Z1 navigation unit and it's awesome. If anyone is considering purchasing the factory navigation system for their Sport Trac, please consider this aftermartket unit 1st. I can send you pictures on how clean the Pioneer installation looks with NO MODIFICATION to the dash at all!

I have the Audiophile system in my 2007 Limited, and I replaced the rear dual cone speakers with 3-way Pioneers. All I can say is wow, the system is crystal clear all the way up the volume scale. Awesome system with that upgrade!

I have the service manuals and wiring diagrams for the 2006 Explorer and Mountaineer, so post if you need help. You will be amazed, even stunned, by the difference made by replacing the factory speakers with good speakers. I just started the installation of my navigation and sound system by installing all four speakers. Even with going slow and a few interruptions for phone calls, it only took 2 hours. I bought the Cerwin-Vega IT-683 speakers: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_286.html Thanks ayarbo1 for the lead on that retailer. I bought the AVIC-Z1, camera, Bluetooth unit, and XM & XM NavTraffic units from: http://www.abesofmaine.com/ and the installation kit and adapters from Crutchfield. The back-up camera was backordered, then mis-shipped, but I expect to finally have it in a few days. I have already soldered and shrink-wrapped the connections from the AVIC-Z1 harness to the adapter harness which will plug into the Ford radio connector. I am taking pictures as I do the work, and will post them somewhere. You need to connect the AVIC-Z1 to the vehicle speed output from the computer, the back-up lights, and the parking brake. As far as I can tell, the only vehicle speed output from the computer is one wire which runs to the windshield wiper system. Is that the one everyone else used? I think that I will drill a hole through the roof above the roof console and mount the XM and GPS antennas in one of the troughs on the front portion of the roof. Where did you mount your antennas?

| I'm not sure of the model # of the speakers that I installed, but they bolted right in, no modifications required. | |
