For Explorer (All Models) 1995-2004, that is what is fits. So, Yes it will fit your Explorer.. :)

I have a 1999 Ford Explorer - kit worked great on it when I pulled the heads. After 2000 I believe there were several design changes in the 4.0 so I am not sure about that tear down procedure.

It is for newer models. This is for sport trac 07-10. For explorer you must look another model.

In my explorer I did not have the Premium stereo so the RCA connector was not used in my installation. My current aux input from the factory system does not work. I use the front connector on my deck.

It's just a USB cable that is connected from the back instead of the front. But for the back it's a cable that's about a foot long. What I did is I purchased a Mounting Kit-FMK550 for 1995-2011 Ford/Lincoln/Mazda/Metcury. You get the one that works for you. And I used my utility nife to make hole in the back of the din that goes under the radio bigger and slipped the USB cable through there. Works great I can charge my phone and run pandora and I just plug it in and push the phone into the cubby/ din whatever you call it.

I wouldn't use this if I were you. Go to Wal Mart and get a wiring kit. They have them for pretty much all Ford makes and models. I know for sure I've seen them there. If you're like me and you despise Wal Mart, though, I would check out your local stereo shops or something.

Sorry I can't help you. Every vehicle is different. If you go to Best Buy and inquire into the stereo you are purchasing, they can tell you what hardware is necessary to install it. I had them install mine and they did a great job.

My radio's firmware is BFB 293. to my knowledge it is the latest firmware, although as with any firmware, there may be a newer one out or on it's way. Kelley

Hi Gene, I have a Ford Fusion and I got this Pioneer and had to get the harness adpter and the install kit. The radio works great as well as bluetooth. Took about 2 hours to install. Connecting harness to radio harness is time consuming part.

I don't know, they work perfectly in my '97 Explorer. They were relatively easy to install, the hardest part was unplugging the originals. If you haven't done so, add your vehicle to Amazons 'garage', that will tell you if they are compatible. Good luck! And yes, I installed them myself.

You will need the SiriusXM SXV200v1 tuner. The cable needed is included with the unit so it is plug and play.

It should work... But I'm not 100% certain. When you hit "Mode" on the radio, it'll come up, but only after the aux kit is installed. So you're right, it only appears once connected. I installed mine in my 2006 X3 and I love it. Works great. Good luck!
