car10001 52 Posted September 21, 2021 hi was just wondering with these kits recently released for the ba/bf that allows you to put your own touch screen stereo in where the factory screen was, do you have to have shallow depth stereos because it the kit says its reccomended. have searched on aerpro in the ba/bf for a few stereos that have got in mind that are full depth and aerpro didnt say that they wouldnt fit if unplugging the bcm to get the icc out and moving the same bcm to the new trim along with same locking module will there be a security problem with car not starting or will it start with nothing to be reprogrammed after plugging bcm back in when installing new stereo, will anything need to be programmed again if using the same bcm does anyone know about the kit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Polson 10,214 Posted September 22, 2021 Yes, it has to be a mechless unit (no CD/DVD player). It also has to have an AV input to allow for the heater control function. If your car has factory reverse camera you'll need a head unit with dual AV input, and plug the heater input into the 2nd/front input of the head unit. You also need to buy a seperate module and external speaker if your car has factory reverse sensors and you want them to continue working with the Aerpro kit. You shouldn't have any security issues as the car anti-theft is part of the ECU on Falcons, and you reinstall the same module behind the new radio as what was on the old one. It's been designed to be as plug and play as possible, no reprogramming is required. Most you have to do is set up the heater controls correctly. Aerpro have been working on this kit for a long time, and what they've (finally) brought to market is quite an impressive upgrade to the factory unit, especially as one type fits all, regardless of dual zone/single zone, low, mid or high series. Aerpro have a YouTube video on how to install and setup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
car10001 52 Posted September 25, 2021 hi, looking to buy a newly released aerpro facia for the ba to upgrade the system and headunit and wondered, will the kenwood DMX8520DABS or kenwood DDX9020DABS or kenwood DMX9720XDS headunits fit in the ba/bf/territory using this new aerpro trim https://aerpro.com/.../ford/ford-falcon-2002-2008-ba-bf... without mods, what has to be done if anything to get either those headunits to fit as theyre the standard double din depth looking to upgrade at some point to this new trim and want a headunit with following features and like those model kenwood units 1. dab with dab memory as some just have the dab without the memory to program 2. wireless carplay 3. dual usb 4. dual bluetooth also does the alpine ilx702d and ilx-f309 have dual bluetooth for phone connection as yous might see the alpine ilx-f309 is same as the sony floating screen stereo and like the alpine floating one the listed kenwood models are still the full double din chassis even though 2 of the listed models arent cd/dvd buying a remote cd/dvd player wont be a problem just want one thatll fit in the ba with the new trim with the listed features also if you end up getting one that is only wired carplay can you get the usb wireless box that has usb pass through, would prefer one with every single listed feature listed wanting to hear from anyone thats got answers thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve never heard of them, but they sound alright from what your saying, I’ll have to do my home work on them. 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Mate.Was just playing with stereo getting sub set up......usual story....might need two... Lol. The Atoto decks you can buy on eBay from elite electronics. They do heaps of car audio stuff.It has Bluetooth mate, and sat nav and voice control, front and rear camera hookups , three AV outs....more than I will ever need.It's a complete in car entertainment system. I had to modify a lot to get this one in my lil car. Like I said it's more an in dash unit for plastic cars.... I just made it fit. Hendrix had a nice Pioneer deck, that's real nice too. Think these are more performance decks for newer model cars, I just thought it might look neat Sent from my motorola edge 20 pro using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look around at a few decks out there, but any with cd/DVD are old tech now.Now it's a complete in car entertainment system the size of a single din cd deck.Screens get bigger too.Mate, your probably like me, glasses need to be gotten......lol. I just need them for soldering and stereo wiring....Sent from my motorola edge 20 pro using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
