Awesafe 9' Car Stereo 2009-2012 Ford F-150 Install

This video will show you how to remove the outdated old factory stereo on the 2009-2012 Ford f-150 and upgrade it to the Awesafe 9" Android 12 Radio. The Awesafe radio is packed full of the latest features including a large 9" touchscreen display, bluetooth, wifi, wireless apple CarPlay and android auto, gps navigation, am/fm radio, back up camera, and utilizes the factory steering wheel controls. You can even watch Youtube or TikTok or browse the internet. Bring your old outdated F-150 back to life with the Awesafee 9" android car stereo. If you're interested in purchasing this Awesafe stereo I have provided a link below to it on Amazon I have also included a link for the 12 volt charging port that replaces the factory cigarette lighter.

Hey, thanks for the video. Came across this radio on amazon, didn't think it would be very "plug and play". When i watched your video i was still skeptical, but you are right it is very plug and play. Only had to splice in 1 wire for my reverse cam. Ended up getting the upgraded model with the 4G lte sim card holder. Different UI but is probably the same in many ways. Really liked the idea of changing out the cigarette lighter, got mine with a volt readout for the battery. Couple things i would like to add: 1 - this is an android os so if you have access to google play store (was preinstalled on my unit) you can change out the UI Launcher to one that is available there. 2 - the USB on the SYNC insert can be plugged into the radio with a USB A Male to USB B mini Female, you can access this through the tray that is on top of the dash. 3 - bought a pack of "car metal retainer clips" on amazon for $6, much easier than trying to move the old ones over. Thanks again man, DIY all the way!

I installed mine today watched maybe 12 videos this is by far the best video explaining what each cord is for and where it goes how to manipulate the trim without breaking it I wasn’t sure if I could do this myself honestly but I did and it was easy and saved myself so money in the end so thank you! Good video

I can't thank you enough for this. I did my install today and this was a flawless guide. This is a great, cost effective way to modernize an the 2009-2012 F150 (and some 2013s like mine).

First of all, this is a great tutorial for the installation.

For those of you who may have experienced frustration because of no sound, I may have your solution. I noticed on the Amazon page that there is a wiring diagram. It details what to do in the event there is no sound. There is a wire labeled "Amp Control" (the one I have is brown) that is in the bundle of cables with the RCA female cables and the mic adapter cable. You have to strip the end of the wire and connect it to the "Amp Power/Amp Control" wire (mine is blue). You will find the "Amp Power/Amp Control" wire in the same bundle as the male RCA cables. Use electrical tape or shrink wrap sleeve to keep the wires together.

This solved the no sound issue for me. I would first double-check your installation to make sure everything is put in the correct spot. Then check your fuses. Finally, I would connect the Amp wires, if all else fails.

Good luck!

best video of all for installation of this product. nice job! I've watched 10+ others. Thank you for explaining what cords you don't use.

Thank you for posting, it was really helpful to us with my friends 2010 work truck f150. He had problems with stock stereo not playing very well (extremely low volume) and the new jvc single din radio fixed the issue!

[patrickmullaney]

hey man. i just got done wiring everything in and the video was great. only issues im having is when i start that car, i have to manually turn it on, and when i turn the car off, i have to manually turn it off. how do i make it so it automatically turns on and off?

[veraluvsart]

Thank you so much for showing all the wiring. Got it done! Thanks again!

Excellent video Thank you. I had a different brand that I installed but the steps were the same. Naifay is what I got from Amazon. They provided a harness part that said FORD. Initially, I used this and tried it before slapping it back together in the dash. It did not work. This must be for Platinums or something with the digital heat/Ac. My 2011 fx4 is loaded but due to the Japanese tsunami at the time, I could not get navigation.

I did not need to use the clips taken from the OEM on the new unit. When I dummied up a couple before doing the wiring, it seemed like it would be an issue through the rest of the swap with them falling off. Bottom line is, those were not necessary for mine. It is all back together and I did not even put the bottom fastener in near the USB input. The unit is plenty tight. No vibration whatsoever. I hope someone reads this and is able to save time.

Thanks again for the video.

I'm going to give this a go on my 2011 FX4. One question, about a year ago, my stock radio quit working. It started with certain speakers not working and finally it won't even turn on. I read that it's common for these units - something internally in the CD player section comes unsoldered. I'm hoping that this system will allow my newer Alpine speakers to work again. From my 1990's car stereo days, I wonder if there's anytime of amplifier on this new unit? What's your thoughts?

[andrewseth]

How do you know what temp your vehicle is ? When i go to the controls for heat and air on screen it shows nothing and i cannot operate them

[EastTxDoer]

Did you or anyone have problems with it not shutting off? If so how did you fix.

[outsgoodadventure]

Great video. I'm planning on buying this unit now also. Do you know if I can use my existing backup camera wires but run them to this unit instead of using the small one in my mirror?

[RylanSavell]

I got one of there’s not the same brand but looks the exact same but I never booted up do you possibly know what the problem might be

[tanroberts]

I believe the link to the radio kit needs to be updated. It goes to one that does have the wiring harness or the correct adapter plate. If possible, please confirm and/or update. Thank you!

[rsthukaram]

where can you see temperature controls on here, or outside temperature? I have it installed but no idea what my temp is set at by turning the knob.

[dreamingkid]

Did the install on a 2010 ford f150. Mine doesnt shut off when the ignition is off.

[sabrinap]

I notice that it says Android will it only work well an Android phone outside of the radio portion of it.

[sbmichael]

How do I connect the volume steering wheel button

[shawnwaldrop]

2012 FX4 with the Sony sound/subwoofer. I’ve been wrestling with this for hours. Still no sound. Any suggestions?
