Hey just like to know if it worth me getting the BA Premium sound in my BA Futura? Or will i be better off getting a new deck and new speakers and a sub put in? But I would mind later on having a DVD player install in it
and how much will ford cost me to get a BA Premium sound install by them? |

Get premium sound - you can use the screen to play dvd's through later with an aftermarket deck and a decent interface. When you ask ford about it, also get a price from asl logistics (google their website, it has prices).
Its definately worth premium though, although I wouldnt bother with the sub. get an aftermarket one. |

Deffiantely worth getting the premium head unit, although the stock speakers arnt too crash hot, they also arnt completely crap.

u can ring a company that is fords suppliers for ICC's ,and they do a conversion kit which is much cheaper then getting ford to do it. i know this because i work at a ford dealer and we often refer people to these guys
ill get the number from work iirc its about $1200 plus installation which u will need to get a ford dealer to do (the unit is computer coded to the car) |

Yep thats ASL
its an ICC upgrade not a true premium upgrade As they would have to chaneg the whole body loom for amp outputs etc

yeh thats true nick...
its worth mentioning here too that the ACM (audio control module) which is part of the ICC is coded to the ECU and the BEM using a WDS or a PDS. If you change the ACM there is no other way to reactivate it apart from using one of the ford tools. Its possible that the upgrade can be done somehow retaining the original ACM but i've not seen it done... also nick, trent and i have been contemplating a change to dual zone climate control. As far as i can tell from having had truckloads of them pulled apart at work and looking at wiring diagrams its just a patch loom that goes to the drivers side air mix motor, and wiring to the ambient air temp sensor in the LH outside mirror and of course the different air mix shafts... I know for a fact the HIM's can be programmed for either a/c setup so it shouldnt be too bad.. what are your thoughts? |

yeh i will... failing that somewhere like FTG could probably supply it... but the HIM module can definatley be reprogrammed with WDS/PDS...
the only other thing im not too sure of is the wiring for the exterior door mirror.. maybe its all there im not too sure. maybe i should get a dual zone him and plug it into a ba, configure the him to dual zone and see what fault codes i get... |
