boosted_blazer Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have been searching for quite a while on the site, and I am not sure if I either missed it or its not there. Anyways, I was wondering if the Z110BT or any other Pioneer nav unit will work with the ford sync system and if you can retain the use of the steering wheel controls? Thanks in advance!

VBLUE42 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 You can retain steering wheel controls with the PAC SWI-PS but there is no sync integration. Why would you want it anyway? The Z110 does everything sync does and more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hanibal Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Lost my sync with the new unit. The new unit does the same as sync. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yes in that it has voice control for changing sources, controlling ipod, calling contacts, and finding address and POI's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sopher Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Um... yeah you CAN RETAIN FORD SYNC. Repeat after me... RETAIN FORD SYNC. RETAIN FORD SYNC. What you need from SonicElectronix.com is the Metra Axxess AFSI-02 unit. That what I use now. I also use the PAC SWI-PSv1. The Metra SWI is actually a repackaged PAC SWI-PS. Oh and dont forget the Chrystler antenna adapter. Really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 And hes having problems with, RETAIN FORD SYNC. Honestly, why keep sync? Does it do more then allow you to control the head unit with your voice? If not, the Z replaces all of that so why keep the sync? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boosted_blazer Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Ok, and does anyone know if you can retain the factory sub in the 2009 Super Duty's. If so, what cable part # do I need. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does it do more then allow you to control the head unit with your voice? If not, the Z replaces all of that so why keep the sync? Actually their is no more problem. Never was really... i just did not understand my wiring options. Since the SYNC needs a volume control, the steering wheel control is currenly set for SYNC. If I either set a switch and change my wire it will control the Z110BT. Since the VR (voice recognition) engine of the Z110bt is not what i expected and problematic, the sync works fine. oh, and at 5000miles, my SYNC sends me a vehicle health report.

Thanks retaining the factory sub is very easy< you just need the wire harness that has the sub plug that will plug into the AVIC's sub out and into the trucks sub harness, you may need to place a 1450ohm resistor inline with the amp turn on wire to keep the factory sub from "popping" during turn on and power off. scosche FDK11B 03+ audiophile harness Quote Link to post Share on other sites
