The FD1A-RSX interface allows the replacement of a factory radio in select Ford/Lincoln/Mercury vehicles with MSCAN databus radios. Using this interface will retain factory features such as steering wheel controls (SWC), rear seat entertainment (RSE), rear seat controls (RSC) and the THX or Sony amplifier when the original radio is removed.

Use of this interface also allows you to program two radio functions to each SWC button by using short press long press dual command functionality. The FD1A-RSX also provides data bus driven outputs such as retained accessory power (RAP), vehicle speed sensor (VSS), illumination, reverse trigger and parking brake.

Compatibility Notes:

• Does not retain SYNC.
  
• Factory amplified Systems will not fade as neither the aftermarket radio or the RP
• interface have the ability to control the amplifier’s fader.

Vehicle Specific Notes

• 2013-2014 F-150: Only compatible in base model trucks equipped with the center stack radio (pictured below)
  

• 2008 - 2010 F-250/350/450: Not compatible with model trim XL (fleet vehicles). These vehicles do not have the necessary CAN bus signals
• 2013 -2016 Ford Super Duty: Only compatible in base model trucks equipped with the double DIN radio (pictured below)

Important Notes:

• The radio select rotary switch on the side of the interface must be adjusted to the proper radio setting before plugging the interface into the vehicle (see next page for setting chart).
  
• The interface comes pre-programmed for all of the vehicles factory SWC functions and does not require programming unless you wish to re-assign the SWC functions or utilize short press long press dual command functionality. The SWC can always be restored to default settings by pressing and releasing the program button on the side of the interface once and waiting 7 seconds for the LED to flash 4 times.
  
• 2005-07 Ford Freestyle, Mercury Montego, and Ford Five Hundred - In order for SWC to function in these vehicles, you must re-calibrate the SWC using the procedure outlined on page 4.
  
• RSC buttons that are identical to the SWC will mimic the SWC one for one. All other buttons cannot be programmed.
  
• The LED will flash whenever a SWC button is pressed.
  
• When used in a vehicle equipped with an LCD screen, the screen will display the SWC functions as they are pressed on the steering wheel. It will also display “Programming Mode” whenever the programming button on the side of the interface is pressed.
  
• The RSC must be in AM mode for track +/- to function. RSC must be set to AUX mode to pass audio to aftermarket radio.
  
• Vehicles equipped with a factory amplified system must disconnect SYNC if they wish to use the voice button. Not disconnecting SYNC will result in the rear speakers muting every time the voice button is pressed.
  
• Feeding too strong of an audio signal into the headrest monitors will cause the audio output to shut down. If this happens you must turn the tv off, then on, and lower the audio signal.
