Hi,

I'm installing a Audiovox navigation system in a 02 F-350 with the premium stereo system that has a mute button on the head unit. The NAV system has a wire for Mute input of stereo. Its purpose is to silence your radio when the NAV has a direction for you. Does this truck have a wire on the stereo for a mute input? Thanks Mike

Worse case senario - put relay on switched 12+ input to radio to remove power when the nav mute fires. Not the best way, but it works...

More than likely.

Without knowing the radio model number I couldn't tell you where to find it.

You could always use a test lamp lead to find it.

Otherwise let me know what the model of the radio is and I will see what I can do.
