How do I figure out what receiver option to get? This is a gift for my hubby and he drives a Ford Expedition.

We have a Ford Ranger Edge which has a 2" receiver. As we use this on both our Toyota Prius, which has a 1-1/2" hitch and the Ranger, we just bought the 1-1/2" hitch and an adapter to put in the truck to reduce it down. If the Expedition has a hitch on it, just measure it. It will probably have its size stamped somewhere on the hitch. When you use an adapter, you need to be careful of the weight limits, because it changes the tongue weight to a lower level. I believe ours was around 100 lbs with the two heavy electric bikes.

You can purchase either the 1 1/4 inch or 2 inch hitch....it depends upon which receiver the car has installed. You need to know which size is on the car. If it does not have a hitch receiver on the back, you can easily get one installed. I would recommend the 2", which is sturdier and can be used to haul trailers or boats as well.

On a Ford Expedition it makes sense to get the 2 inch receiver. The smaller receiver is for smaller cars.

Easy way would be to measure it if you aren't familiar with either receiver. https://www.etrailer.com/faq-hitch-size.aspx

I agree with Mark, Sherwood makes a number of good inexpensive receivers... Check out Parts Express...

You need to find your receiver number. Then after you have that look at the reviews and you should be able to find if it will work for that model.

I do not understand your question. I would guess that all later model cars are equipped with a receiver and originally came with an entry fob. Perhaps a Ford dealer can better answer your question. Good Luck!

Billy this should fit. You'll need to get a dash kit, and the other thing you may want to consider is this http://www.woofersetc.com/p-6459-gex-p20hd-pioneer-hd-radio-add-on-tuner-for-in-dash-pioneer-receivers.html. These adapters may get hard to find over time. But to really appreciate the HD sound quality this is a must. I also installed the Alpine 445U. Both cars MTX speakers. For my ears these speakers have the most accurate bass, mids. and highs. I have listened to any number of speakers. 60 watt 3 way in the rear, and 45 watt 3 way in the front. The under the dash amp match's up perfectly........The sound quality is excellent due to its parametric eq. If its good sound your looking for this is a nice unit. It does come with the DVD. Its Dimensions: 7 x 3-7/8 x 6-3/8 inches. Its pretty small. I know lots of people are buying headunits for a variety of reasons other than great sound. For me it was sound. Anyway, if you want to save yourself the hassle of the install Best Buy is a good place to start, but talk with the installer to make sure he meets your expectations. The one near my home is great, he had lots of experience, and knowledge, and in pursuit of his engineering degree. I also found this link. It looks like you could go bigger if you really wanted?. Good Luck. Jerry

This is the receiver only you need to purchase a wire harness separately They offer plug and go harness's that just t into your electrical system. Use your imagination as to where to put your plug or seek professional installer if you are not mechanically inclined

I've got a Denon AVR-1613 Integrated Network AV Receiver and love it. Damn thing's smarter than I am and it took several calls to both Denon and the dealer before I got it all set up. Partly my fault cause I didn't have all HDMI equipment at first so some manual settings were required. If you have all HDMI, the thing sets itself up beautifully. Don't remember exactly what I paid for it (at ABT Electronics) but they had it on sale ($400-$500 range). Love the speakers too, good luck.

When your in the electronics area click receivers & amplifiers on the left. Then check out the receivers that are 5/1 type. Scroll down and they will have units on the side or bottom of these pages. When you see Pioneer 7/1 you got it. This may take a few times but it's there.

The first thing to check is if you can find an installation kit for your year/model of car. This will be a plastic piece that fills in the space of your dashboard where the existing factory stereo is installed. Next you want to make sure you can get a wiring harness for your year/model car. This receiver is a common size that would fit most any car in my opinion.

Buy a receiver and hook up external speakers to the receiver. Only way you will get a decent sound out of this unit. I have a similar problem and after much debate, I am planning to buy Sherwood RX-41 9 105WAat model to augument this stereo system. Good Luck.

Hey Dave,No, that's whats nice about this receiver. All you need to do is buy a GPS app that fits you, they range in price from about $15 to over $60. I use CoPilot, also I have an iPod so Make sure you have a 30 pin connector on your iPhone. If your not sure what app will work for you or if the receiver is compatible with your device just email Emprum at support@emprum.com They will probably get back to you the same day.

you can change crystals. go to tower hobbies and see if they have them for that radio system. if not get a radio and install it in one of the cars. you will need to change the receiver as well. also check out hobby king, just make sure you buy from the usa warehouse.

Unfortunately it does not tell you, and I am still trying to pair it with the two receivers I have but have not had any luck.

This head unit is not Apple friendly in regards to connectivity from direct wire. But you will be able to connect via Bluetooth audio stream only. As long as you can get an aftermarket double din install kit, you should be able to install this unit in your Ford. Thank you

Is it really easier for someone else to do the search for you? And I'm stupid enough to do it I guess.Swift Hitch PB01 Receiver BatteryThere are cheaper out there but I won't tell you where they are.
