 2005 Mariner Install w/correction
By S. Petlev
The unit works great… once I fixed a major fault! The head unit was saying “no sat” after installation. I did a good deal of searching for the problem since I have a code 8 radio. Turns out a wire was missplaced in the mass production of the harness. If you have a problem and the pair of orange wires is NOT next to the yellow one, you have to either return the harness for a fixed one, or move the wires next to the yellow one yourself. I did it myself by using two pins like you would find in a new suit shirt or for tailoring placed on the sides to release it.
I hope this helps someone!! Otherwise, it is actually nice to have the controls through the factory radio.

 Be careful with this product ,the repair is in my review
By Lotza Bling
There is a problem with this product and the formulate is conscious .The problem is 1 of the power wires is in the faulty place and it won’t work unless you move it to the rectify position in the plug .If you buy this product contact Audiovox ,the construct , and see if they may support you move the rectify wire into the rectify position or follow the link under and do it yourself .If your not mechanically inclined then don’t buy it until they rectify the problem.Audiovox will warranty the defective piece I believe but the fix is easy.
When I installed it the box in my 2005 lincoln LS it did not work and the radio read ” No Sat ” when the button on the deck was pushed .At basi I thought it was my install but it wasn’t so I went online and found the fix on a website…..here’s the link to the fix
[...]
If you follow this repair ,takes like a couple of minutes to do ,then the box works great .Overall I’m happy w/ this product and it is such a nicer install then having a fm modulator on your dash .Its all concealed and you would never recognise the vehicle had xm.I even have the antenna in the centre of the dash and it works splendid w/o any reception loss as far as I have seen .
Hope I helped galore of you out …I’m sure numerous were humans are pulling there hair out over the problem
I would have given 5 stars if not for this stupid problem
