This is the installation of an Alpine EX-10 Ipod Controller into a 2007 Ford Ranger Ext Cab. I will make a list of all the parts that I am using during the install, this will expand as the installation continues.

Please ask any question and leave any comments. I will be open to suggestions during the install of best place to run wires, store components, etc.

I will be taking as many pictures as possible to document the process. If you have any requests for more detailed pictures or certain steps or products please ask and I will do my best to provide them.

Looks like you have your work cut out for you. Keep us updated.

 

::shudders:: soooo many wires....

good luck!

 

yea even before I purchased it I read about the lengths of wires, but with proprietary wires I would rather have extra than not enough.

Besides the weather being kinda crappy lately, deciding where to store the extra wires and components is what is has been holding me back since the purchase. Wanna make sure the install looks clean and everything is stored properly.

If the weather holds off and things are nice this week/end then I will get asap this week.

Unless we get some more snow, which I hope we do, then I will be heading back up north for more skiing this week and will not get to it til next week.
