Hi all

I have a customer here in the UK with one of these RV's who wants me to replace the stock Radio/Cassette player with a JVC double din unit>

The stock radio runs all the speakers in the unit (8 in all) my question is there an external amp that runs these or is it all run from the head unit

Also as you can appreciate we dont see many of these in the UK so does anyone have the wiring details for it as we dont have any sort of ISO leads over here for it so will have to convert it over.

I have to replace the door speakers as well so any info on getting the door panels off would be great too?

Thanks

Tony

I can't find any real info but I can give you the colours for the 99 F350, it's the same basic body or cab so there's a chance.
Stripping the door panel? Get real if you can't strip the door panel are you capable of this job?
Constant 12V+ = Lt.GREEN/ purple
Ground (earth) = BLACK/ Lt.green
ACC = BLACK/ pink
Illumination = Lt.blue/red
ORANGE / Lt.green+ Lt.blue/white- LF
WHITE/ Lt.green+ Drk.GREEN/ orange- RF
Grey/Lt.blue+ tan / YELLOW- LR
ORANGE / red+ BROWN / pink- RR

Thanks for the info

Haven't even seen the vehicle yet so that's why I'm asking if there's any info on getting the panels off.

Over here there are various cars that have the odd hidden screw/ clip.

I basically have around 3 hours to get this vehicle done before the customer goes off back around europe towing his race car so anything that can make the job quicker would be useful

Thanks

I think you will need more than 3 hours! The speakers will be the same type as used by UK Mondeo, Focus etc. The speaker fitting is what will take up your time, personally I would refuse the job if only given three hours.
