  1. What does Ford charge to switch from plastic to modular bumper?

    Programming step is for the restraint control system... which controls airbags, seatbelts, sensors, etc. Obviously hitting something with a steel bumper is going to behave differently than hitting something with a plastic bumper, so the calibration is different. --- As @Brian_B mentioned...
  2. 2025 non b@o replacing oem sub with powered unit. Where exactly post sub amp am I tapping? What are the 4 wires running into the sub?

    Actually looks like it uses the exact same connector as the Kicker Key 500.1. So you should just be able to use the diagram I created above and apply it your subwoofer input. Make sure you set the input level to HI (speaker level).
  3. 2025 non b@o replacing oem sub with powered unit. Where exactly post sub amp am I tapping? What are the 4 wires running into the sub?

    What subwoofer/amp are you using?? In your original post you said "PT300" but I am totally unfamiliar with it. --- As an example... with the Kicker 500.1 amp, the factory wires going to pin 1, 2, 3, 4 should be going to the following inputs on the amplifier itself.
  4. Question about my audio upgrade

    The factory comes with a EQ profile that includes a high-pass filter for the rear pods. No idea how the Trail 7 bundle works, but I imagine they are just taking the factory signal and amplifying it without changing a thing. If you don't want a high-pass filter, you can turn it off via Forscan...
  5. 2025 non b@o replacing oem sub with powered unit. Where exactly post sub amp am I tapping? What are the 4 wires running into the sub?

    There are two voice coils on the factory subwoofer amplifier. Each with a positive and negative lead. Pin 1 - Voice Coil A + Pin 2 - Voice Coil A - Pin 3 - Voice Coil B + Pin 4 - Voice Coil B - You tapped into pins 2 and 4. Should be 1/2 or 3/4. Take your pick. (Also probably should have...
  6. SSV vs Metra rear 6.5 Speaker Pods

    I installed them last spring but removed them two weekends later to play around with some cargo area accessories a company had sent me to beta test. (Their product conflicted with the speakers.) Then the roof rack went back on for ski season, and I have yet to remove it again this summer...
  7. Ford Performance WARN winch on capable bumper — Yes it's possible!

    I did change the RCM configuration through FDRS. I have the footage for that that I've been meaning to turn into a video, just haven't had time lately. As for leveling... I have a set of Bilstein 8112s that I bought over the winter and have been meaning to install once the snow melted (which it...
  8. Door code keypad sticker

    Nah. But you are correct. On older Ford vehicles it was indeed a sticker, often stuck on a module in the passenger footwell behind a trim/kick panel.
  9. Door code keypad sticker

    I'll take your quote and raise with another quote for extra emphasis. :giggle: I get the question all the time on my keypad video. The card by the fuse box would be the correct code if the Bronco had a hardwired keypad. The Bronco does not have a hardwired keypad, it's a battery-operated...
  10. Auto Stop/Start not working (Resolved)

    Long story short: The Bronco has a BMS (battery management system) that takes a bunch of factors into account... outside temperature, battery charge state, battery health, electrical load, etc. etc. If it stops doing Auto Start/Stop completely in moderate weather, and you start getting the...
  11. How to find my Bronco's production number?

    To be more specific.... 9/23/22 is your invoice date. That's basically when the order is sent to the assembly line for production 9/30/22 is your blend date. Traditionally it's been the body meets the frame on the assembly line (the two parts are "blended" together), but in the era of unibody...
  12. 2025 Bronco B&O Architecture – ACM vs. AMP/DSP Wiring Discrepancy

    It probably depends on the Bronco, the market, the build date, etc. Every 2025+ Bronco I've seen feeds their speakers entirely from the DSP.
  13. 2027 Bronco Filson: Specs, Price, Features, Everything You Need to Know

    Hah.... the "Jackson Hole" reference is shockingly helpful to visualize it. The outdoorsy lumberjack-chic look, more or less. I too have never heard of Filson. Granted, my idea of clothing is whatever is on-sale at Kohl's, so not surprised. But ya know, I have heard of "Patagonia" before...
  14. Outer Banks accessory switches used for lights???

    Those are the hero switches. The require integration with a module and all of the other necessary hardware to work. They won't work with lighting, there is no relays in them or anything like that. If you want the upfitter/aux switches, you're probably looking at getting this guy...
