Does anyone know if there is a Low Level Output on the back of the Ford My Touch radio in the 2015 Transit? I am installing a Powered Subwoofer to the system, I would rather not tear the dash apart to find there isn't one. I have the option of using a High Level input that ties the unit into the rear speaker wires. I ordered the My Touch with Nav and Sirius.

Sorry packerbacker, I don't have an answer for you on this, but am wondering if your window sticker shows the My Touch radio? My assumption would be that the low level output is not user-accessible. Maybe you will get a specific pamphlet for the radio when the van arrives . . . with a schematic of the back?

The question I asked is here:

The sticker does show the MFT radio package and the cost of it which is why I don't really want to go tearing it out and adding stuff that could void the warranty especially since Ford does have issues with this radio to begin with, Most factory radio heads will have outputs on the back of them. Thanks.

I looked for updated details on the new MyFord Touch radio and found none. I guess we don't really know how this got resolved after Ford ditched MS.

Here's hoping that the new radio is a winner . . .

Waiting to know all the details before placing my order lost steam for me -- now I am in the queue and waiting 3-4 months.

PS packerbacker, not sure if you noticed this new thread (per suggestion of CrewVanMan) for buyers who have a window sticker to track build dates and delivery afterwards? [FYI if you are interested -- I don't recall where you stand with this.]

Ford just dropped MFT for a new system with Panasonic. I have called my sales rep. for an explanation of how this will affect the Wagon I just ordered.

You can't make this stuff up . . .

That Ford has dropped Microsoft for a QNX (Blackberry) OS, with likely different hardware, has been known for at least 6 months, perhaps a little longer.

I am going to keep my new posts on the other thread, to keep it simple. rmcnelly is filling in some blanks there as well.

Ok so maybe the only thing new is the official announcement? We knew it would be Blackberry instead of MS all along, and that vehicles with it wouldn't be built until after the start of '15 calendar year. Maybe anything with it built in '15 will be a '16?

Ford or someone should release a retrofit to be able to change every Ford ever built with the microshaft stuff and be able to install QNX over it.
