Want to buy for my son, owns '06 Ford F150 Superduty pickup. Can it be use with an iPhone 5s? Is it difficult to install? Need additional wiring?

Yes it works with iphone 5s. It is not difficult to install and doesn't need additional wiring. What I don't know is if it is compatible with the radio of your truck. You should ask to the sellet.

Like any remote start system, this needs to be installed by a professional mobile electronics installer. Not a mechanic. Take it to a stereo/security shop. Let someone who does these day in day out do it. I sell and install Viper products, but have no problems installing anything else. The wire colors are different than Vipers, but it's the same dang thing. If an installer is too scared to touch a product like this, then they're not experienced enough to touch your car anyway.

I have mine in an 11 year old car and paired to an iPhone 5s. It works as well as the factory set up in our new honda. Be sure you fully charge it before you try it! The voice that tells you what to do is not annoying as on some others. It shuts off after you leave the car. When you get back in just toggle the off on button to off , wait a sec and turn it back on. Boom it does it all for you again. When I initiate a call there is minor static until the calling starts. Goes away as the call starts and is as clear as just talking on the iPhone. Sturdy as heck too.

I would get more wire (they don't supply enough) also different connectors. . (Butt, male and female connectors. .heat shrink style if possible) ...I didn't connect to my truck horn, I installed a separate switch..It's not too difficult. .Takes some time but is fairly simple. .The difficulty is mainly based on how you want your setup to be.

I have mine mounted to the roll cage above me on a Polaris Ranger. Radio will go louder than your ears can take it. Very clear. Has very good bass. No Bluetooth. It will accept iphones but I don't know anything about an iphone 5. At 50 MPH you should be concentrating on where you are going and not the music.

Sorry, no idea. I use it on a 2011 F150, or rather my wife does. She finds it very useful, she helps her brothers on their farm. Produce is well made, and installed in the receiver in a few seconds, and can be removed just as easy. You can use it with the tailgate up or down I see no reason why it wouldn't work on any standard receiver, but please don't take my word on your truck.

I was able to purchase mine with a cable that plugged directly into the connection under the dash that was placed there by Ford. I don't know if the F450 has this connection. If it does you can make your own cable using the generic cable that comes with the unit. If you don't have the connector installed by the factory you can still connect the controller by wiring directly using the instructions that come with it. Just more work and more time. I'm sure any shop that installs hitches could do this for you. It is a great brake controller.

I can say that it works great with Ford's SYNC (using a usb cable, not bluetooth or audio jack) There doesn't seem to be any difference between using a micro usb cable through the case and using the lightning cable straight to the phone.

I installed one in my 2014 Tucson, and it works great. Wiring harness provided is long enough to reach the front of the vehicle (Temp sensor), and the fuse block for power. Routing the wires was the toughest part, but I ended up tucking them under the headliner and the rubber gasket on the a-pillar. This required no trim removal, and the mirror looks factory. I also own a 2009 F150, and I don't see that there would be a problem installing it in that vehicle either. Total time for install was 1.5 to 2 hours.

You should be able to. To install you just have to Bluetooth adapter where the iphone normally goes and it should turn on automatically. On your phone, activate the Bluetooth mode and connect with the device and that is all. I got it for my son and he uses it all the time. He never had a problem with it. Hope it all works out for you, enjoy!!

Should, connect, but can be an FM frequency challenge. I actually returned mine. Even in southern delaware where there are not a lot of high powered radio stations, I got a lot of interference and need to switch frequencies. For the same price, about, I bought a usb ready receiver to replace to manufacturer unit in my 97 miata. Plug the iPhone in with a lightning cable and rock on. Control from the head unit or the phone. Charges at the same time. �

It's just a USB cable that is connected from the back instead of the front. But for the back it's a cable that's about a foot long. What I did is I purchased a Mounting Kit-FMK550 for 1995-2011 Ford/Lincoln/Mazda/Metcury. You get the one that works for you. And I used my utility nife to make hole in the back of the din that goes under the radio bigger and slipped the USB cable through there. Works great I can charge my phone and run pandora and I just plug it in and push the phone into the cubby/ din whatever you call it.

I have this exact same stereo and I love it since the day that I got it. I got the new iPhone 6 and I have not had any problem with it working. Everything just the same as it did when I had my 5s. Remote, sound, and connection all work with it. I really do suggest this system.

I am not able to use it with iPhone 5s. It worked with 4s fine. don't know the reason. It plugs in but nothing comes from the radio.

If it uses the standard plug under the dash it should be wired correctly for your towing package. Mine plugged right in and worked perfectly. I have a F150

I cannot speak for an F150; however, my superduty and this did not get along very well. I had to make some very minor alterations to get my hitch to fit through the light fixture. Once the "mouth" of the fixture was ground down a little bit, the hitch went in well. My problem then, was hooking up my trailer safety chains to the receiver; the fixture covered up the reciever's safety chain attachment points. Once I figured out a remedy for that, the light fixture lasted a whopping 2 iterations, and by then I was so frustrated with it... I discarded it.

Well, I can't honestly say for sure. In fact I'm not sure if it's going to work for my application; a 2009 F250 Super Duty. No...I haven't tried setting it up. In fact it's still in it's box. The company doesn't show to many pic's of pick-up types, so, I don't know about my deal. My best advice would be to call them.
