Ive been looking at he Kenwood DMX 7705s too. I already installed a 3rd brake light camera and now I want a good monitor to view it on. Did you install new front speakers if so which ones and did you have install issues on stereo or speakers? Where did you place the usb plugs and microphone?

I got the Rockford Fosgate R1675-S. They are 6 3/4" component with a separate tweeter. They went right in the door with a speaker adapter. The tweeters actually had a perfect friction fit into the factory tweeter mount and I just added a little hot glue to make sure they didn't come out.

For the usb plugs i bought a round dual usb plug thing that is made for mounting on a panel or something and it fits perfect in the hole for the cigarette lighters. I put it in place of the one on the right side of the dash. It looks factory.

It was pretty technical flashing the maestro interface with my computer and tons of wires to hook up and I had a few little technical issue I had to play with but no major problems. I started out trying continue using the factory sync system for the bluetooth and hands free because I thought it would probably sound better than using the mic that came with the radio but I was having issue with that too and finally just gave up on that part and I'm using the radio for everything.

Hi All!

We bought a 2019 Ford Transit Passenger Van today. My wife loves the mid-roof, 15 seats, and backup camera but what she doesn't like is the basic radio.
The radio does have the 4.2" inch screen for the factory backup camera and simple display information but what she really needs is the phone/handsfree/Bluetooth feature.

My concerns are the following:
1. I don't want to lose any factory features.
2. I don't want to end up with multiple components. (IE: Aftermarket Camera in addition to the factory camera that would end up disabled/unplugged)

Went to Crutchfield and it looks like they sell the required items:

1. Metra 99-5835G Dash Kit - Dash kit allows you to install a new single-DIN (2" tall) or double-DIN (4" tall) receiver in your vehicle's dash panel, while maintaining all factory controls.

2. Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Adapter - allows you to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to almost any brand of aftermarket stereo, including Alpine, Clarion, JVC, Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony, and more. (Note: your new stereo must have a 3.5mm steering wheel control or wired remote control input.)
Installation is a straightforward process. You usually have to connect a few wires to your factory wiring. In most cases, the adapter automatically recognizes the vehicle it's been connected to. If not, you can manually program the adapter for your vehicle by following a step-by-step process with LED confirmation. Once connected, the adapter's memory retains its programming even if battery power is interrupted. A USB slot allows you keep the ASWC-1 current when updates become available. Warranty: 1 year.

3. Axxess XSVI-5524-NAV Wiring Interface - lets you connect your new high-powered car stereo to the factory wiring plug in your 2011 or later Ford vehicle. This adapter provides you the electrical, ground, and speaker connections you need, including a 12-volt accessory power lead for your new stereo. It also retains the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) and offers the reverse, parking brake, and Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) outputs needed for installing a new navigation receiver.
The XSVI-5524-NAV interface also includes a pre-wired harness for the Axxess ASWC-1 interface (sold separately), in case you'd like to integrate your factory steering wheel audio controls with your new car stereo.

4. Metra 40-EU10 Antenna Adapter - The adapter lets you connect an aftermarket receiver to the factory antenna cable. It offers a male Motorola plug on one end and a female OEM antenna jack on the other.

5. Axxess AX-FDSYNC-SWC Steering Wheel Control Harness - harness allows you to connect the steering wheel audio controls in select 2015-up Ford Transit vehicles (if equipped) to a new car stereo without having to splice into your factory wiring. This cable also lets you keep your factory-installed backup camera when you install an aftermarket car stereo in these vehicles. Once installed, you'll see images from your rear-view camera on your new receiver's screen.

What am I missing? What can you recommend?

HERE IS THE COMPLETE SHOPPING LIST

TOOLS

Heat Shrink Butt Connectors - I own a heat gun already ($16.99)
Crimping Tool - I have a crimp tool but it's old and rusty so it was time to upgrade ($17.99)

PARTS & RADIO

USB 3.0 Flush Mount Ports - I wanted to add charger/direct connect ports for universal connection even though the radio offerers wireless Android and Apple CarPlay functionality ($10.80)
Metra 40 EU 10 Antenna Adapter - I needed this to convert the vans antenna to cable to the new radio ($11.88)
Axxess AZ-FDSYNC-SWC Metra - I needed this to I can use the factory camera on the new radio's display. ($9.85)
Metra 99-5832G Audio - I needed this so the van dash could hold the new 2 din radio. ($45.95)
Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX 2 Din - This was a splurge but wanted to be sure the most wireless connections possible and offer room to expand the system later. ($539.99)
Metra Axxess ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface - I purchased this just in case it's needed for the build. I'll send back if it's not needed. My Van does not have the steering wheel controls but this part may still be required. ($44.99)
Metra XSVI-5524-NAV - I purchased this just in case it ends up being required to get rid of the 4.2" screen, might return if not needed. ($49.99)

TOTAL MINUS RADIO & TOOLS: $173.46 ($123.47 if I ended up not needed the XSVI-5524-NAV)
GRAND TOTAL UPGRADE: $748.43

Thanks again!

Looks nice! @asdrew !
@Boboxx, thanks for the feedback. I wasn't aware that I needed to keep the 4.2" screen hidden in the dash. I went shopping yesterday and came up with the following list which ended up being quite a bit cheaper than Crutchfield and would arrive quicker too. I am trying to get it all done before my wife heads out with the kids on a 700 mile road trip in 2 weeks from now.

TOOLS

Heat Shrink Butt Connectors - I own a heat gun already
Crimping Tool - I have a crimp tool but it's old and rusty so it was time to upgrade

PARTS & RADIO

USB 3.0 Flush Mount Ports - I wanted to add charger/direct connect ports for universal connection even though the radio offerers wireless Android and Apple CarPlay functionality
Metra 40 EU 10 Antenna Adapter - I needed this to convert the vans antenna to cable to the new radio.
Axxess AZ-FDSYNC-SWC Metra - I needed this to I can use the factory camera on the new radio's display.
Metra 99-5832G Audio - I needed this so the van dash could hold the new 2 din radio.
Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX 2 Din - This was a splurge but wanted to be sure the most wireless connections possible and offer room to expand the system later.
Metra Axxess ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface - I purchased this just in case it's needed for the build. I'll send back if it's not needed. My Van does not have the steering wheel controls but this part may still be required.

I think this will do everything I need it to do, most importantly, keep the factory camera and allow hands-free calling and offer some room for growth soon.

Additionally, my wife joined a Facebook Mom group which several folks owning the transit highly recommended brighter reverse lights. I purchased these:

The new radio is installed and working great. It took a little longer than expected and completed in about 8 hours from prep to clean up. I took my time and made sure everything was perfect, including running the hands-free microphone up by the driver map light/rearview mirror. The instructions were a bit confusing as in not all the wire colors from the harnesses to the radio wires matched up but other than that it was relatively straight forward if you've installed a radio before. The handsfree mic wire was a bit short so I had to splice in some extra length and I did have to rig up a way to hold the microphone in place. There isn't a lot of room behind or under the radio so I am kind of am dreading pulling the radio back out to add wires when/if I expand the system. I am still not sure why the system requires the 4.2" factory screen to be plugged in for the aftermarket to power on? This seems very strange to me. Also, I wasn't impressed with the metra dash kit clips and ended up using the factory clips. I pulled the metra dash kit lid off and dropped 3-4 clips down in the radio area, they wouldn't stay clipped to the plastic lid. Additionally, if you solder, remember to use rosin core solder. It hit me 15 minutes of struggling to solder the wires that I was not using rosin core solder, rookie move! The rosin core solder will adhere quickly and easily to any type of wire.

Hindsight, here is what I would order if I had to do it again:

TOOLS

DO NOT BUY THIS - Heat Shrink Butt Connectors - Instead, solder every connection and shrink wrap them. The connectors weren't very reliable and the smaller gauge wires connecting to the larger gauge wires would pull out fairly easily. I lost quite a bit of time undoing the butt connectors and soldering/shrink wrapping it but it was worth every minute!
DO NOT BUY THIS - Crimping Tool - It's nice to have but not necessary if you solder and shrink wrap.

PARTS & RADIO

BUY THIS! USB 3.0 Flush Mount Ports - I wanted to add charger/direct connect ports for universal connection even though the radio offerers wireless Android and Apple CarPlay functionality
BUY THIS! Metra 40 EU 10 Antenna Adapter - I needed this to convert the vans antenna to cable to the new radio.

BUY THIS! Metra 99-5832G Audio - I needed this so the van dash could hold the new 2 din radio.
BUY THIS! I love this radio, so many features and a massive amount of room for growth! Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX 2 Din - This was a splurge but wanted to be sure the most wireless connections possible and offer room to expand the system later.
DO NOT BUY THIS. I Ended up not needing this since I didn't have steering wheel controls. Ill return for a refund. Metra Axxess ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface - I purchased this just in case it's needed for the build. I'll send back if it's not needed. My Van does not have the steering wheel controls but this part may still be required.

Did your back up camera maintain DYNAMIC parking guide lines (the ones that curve and show your trajectory) like on the OEM 4.2" screen, or did the new radio change them to static square guide lines? Thanks for your input!

Yes, another stereo wiring thread.
I am moving from a single to double din stereo in my 2016 Transit. There are several parts coming out with connections that I need help identifying. Specifically, the OEM stereo took two connectors and I can only find the pinout for one of them. Alternately, the control panel has connections as well and I wanted to make sure none of those are important.

The parts going in
Dash Mod: Metra 99-5832G Single/Double Din Dash Combo Kit for Select Ford Transit 2015-Up
Stereo: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HPZP1NV
USB Port: Amazon.com: 2 Ports Dual USB 3.0 Male to USB 3.0 Female AUX Flush Mount Car Mount Extension Cable for Car Truck Boat Motorcycle Dashboard Panel -(3 Feet) : Electronics

Parts Coming out:
Stereo - CK4T-19C107-DB
Control Panel - DT1T-18K811-CD

My stock harness has the following pins in the 24 pin connector:
1) Battery
3) Starter Motor Control Sense
9) Speaker -
10) Speaker -
11) Speaker -
12) Speaker -
13) GND
14) Illumination +
15) Illumination -
21) Speaker +
22) Speaker +
23) Speaker +
24) Speaker +

Missing leads:
I understand my model might not have these, but I wanted to make sure they are not available from one of the other connectors. Can I pick these leads off the 2nd stereo connector or the control panel connector?

Accessory / Ignition +
Parking Brake -
Steering Wheel Key (SWC) 1 +
Steering Wheel Key (SWC) 2 +
Steering Wheel Controls (3.5mm jack)

The image below shows the two ports. Not my stereo...
