Well it works, with a twist. You need to have the 4.2 screen plugged in, in order to have the aftermarket radio turn on. At least with the harness i bought. BUT, you can hide the 4.2 screen in the giant cavity that houses the radio Antenna Adapter $5.98 Axxess XSVI-5524-NAV $35 Spiral Audio dash kit $59.99 Air Bag Switch - Ford (BK2Z-10A936-B) $6.52 at local dealership ------------------------------------------------------ Kenwood DMX7706s $285 eBay (i dont actually recommend this deck and will be selling it) ------------------------------------------------------

I'm looking at replacing my factory battery with an Odyssey battery. I realize these batteries are a bit of work to remove so i was hoping someone might know dimensionally (or size-wise), what the largest battery you can squeeze into the stock battery tray -- or with slight modification -- is?

Yep!! My Connect didn't come with a camera I'm going to go with the Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX media receiver and Pioneer NDBC8 camera .

The 4.2" screen looks really dated now and aftermarket 2-din media receivers are so much nicer in quality. Plus i can hook up a back up camera to any modern 2-din touch screen. I'll report back in a few weeks once i do the modification, with my findings. There is really no need to keep the 4.2" screen when you can plug in your back up camera to a much nicer HD display on an aftermarket deck - IMHO ☺️

I see that Spiral Audio sells a dash kit which eliminates the 4.2" screen and in place, there is a small cubby. I'd like to do this as i'm installing an aftermarket radio. What exactly will i lose? I'm looking at the Wiring + SWC Retention (+$59.99) option. I should say... i don't have radio controls on my steering wheel. So would i just be buying the Wiring + SWC Retention harness to keep the vans chime sounds? https://www.spiralaudio.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1306&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIo5zJx-yO5AIVuSCtBh2rGA0iEAQYAiABEgLS-_D_BwE
