I thought I would follow up to help other people in the future on this one. After a lot of trial and error, I found that the correct wiring harness for the '05 Sport Trac is the Metra 70-5520. I'm not sure this fits all Sport Tracs as I assume that the other stereos models available may use a different harness becuase they have an additional 6-channel amp, whereas my model only has an amp for the subwoofer. The 70-5520 is listed as fitting '04 and up F-150s, Navigators and Expeditions. I've already sent email to Metra asking them to comment on this since they say this harness only works

Thanks! I think that's the info I was looking for. Now I just got to find one at the price I like (scammers excluded, of course)

I believe the only different between '05s and '04s are a couple of cometics. What all did you have to do on the '04? Thanks for the reply!

Grow up man. No OS is right for every circumstance. Do not throw in the ignorant response of Windows security (like it matters anyway, what are you magically going to get some virus from the Internet through your car? Oh, and Bluetooth, it's an unsecure technology anyway, regardless of OS). And no, your speed wouldn't be all that different. Windows Automotive and the full release of Windows are so disparate they're like different OS's. Please think before you fire off the cuff about stuff you don't fully understand. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7148748849652085555

OK, I'm pretty well set on the AVIC - Z1. However, every nav system I've looked at says it doesn't fit the 2005 Explorer Sport Trac. Upon investigation I found out that this is caused by the way the chassis is on the Sport Trac. Per my resources, "Yes it is a Double DIN size, but there's no stock way to mount the unit to the stock chassis without serious modification." My thought is that all I need to do is make a few rudimentary brackets. Anyone else try this on the '05 generation Sport Tracs? Or am I going to be forced into the AVIC-N3?
