I feel like the block off plates are still a very good idea. They cover the hole and pretty much seal up the door as a solid enclosure for the speaker. The sound matting over a hole that size would still move and wouldn't be as tight of an enclosure. Not to mention it will most likely end up...
It would have been NSFW lol.
Honestly I got the majority of the info I needed from the videos that @SoundsGoodStereo have on their site, particularly the idea to drill 1” holes in my cab for the power and ground.
Also must say the guys at NavTV are also awesome I spoke to them a few times and...

It’s been years since I’ve done a custom stereo install so I took my time and did things exactly how I wanted and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. My truck sounds incredible and I seriously can’t handle how loud it gets at full volume.
Upgrades included:

One thing that’s interesting that I’m not sure if I mentioned or not…..I NEVER see the ford splash screen on my unit. I have seen it maybe twice during a master reset or something but as far as turning the truck on, it never shows. Not sure if that’s intended behavior or not or just more proof...
Now that it’s been 6 weeks since I’ve gone to the dealership and they are still not able to get the part, I am willing to try purchasing one elsewhere, but want to make sure to get one that’s compatible. Do it need to order a specific part number or will any 2021 Apim with gps and navigation...
I thought it was cool that Ford monitors these forums and makes contact to see about helping until after all that back and forth, this is the email I get from FMC:
This email is regarding your recent contact to FMC.
We understand there has been a concern with the APIM for your vehicle.

Thank you for the offer, but I was actually finally able to find a Mongoose for Ford online and got it ordered. Apparently there is a new version called the Mongoose Pro. I will have it early next week. until then i just have to keep hitting OK on my collision assist warning lol
Is there anyone here in Oklahoma City area that has a Mongoose? I bricked my CCM with the vxnano. I knew to avoid that module but wasn’t aware that the IPMA update also included CCM. I thought I ordered one on Amazon but I ended up getting the Toyota version and there are none to be found...
i have been using a nano, but i kicked off the IPMA update and didn't realize it was a multi module update that included the CCM, so i bricked that and i'm now waiting on the Mongoose to arrive tomorrow to fix that and finish the IPMA update.
Man i have done everything i can think of multiple times! I have done master reset several times through the menu, usually after updating the APIM and not seeing the issue resolved. I have unhooked the battery for a while and left it. I have reset my phone and reset my phone's network...
I'm at a complete loss. maybe it is the APIM. so next question is since the dealer has no idea when they can get one. if i buy one myself from somewhere, what part number do i go with?
Thanks for the suggestion, i checked and its on. Music actually plays through CarPlay when my phone is connected, it just shows a black screen where the CarPlay screen should be
