Title: Some issues between Ford Excursion and Pioneer AVIC-F900BT
Product review: I purchased this knowing that the Pioneer head unit does not support Preset Up/Down, but was desperate to get my Volume Up/Down buttons working.Installation was very straight-forward, attaching 3 wires to the aftermarket harness I used when I installed the Pioneer. I didn't have to cut into any existing wires in the vehicle.Programming was easy - push the steering wheel button, then push the button on the PAC unit for each of 9 functions. The LED on the PAC flashes to confirm that a button has been pressed.However...I was only able to map Volume Up correctly. Volume Down mutes the Pioneer, Next changes the audio source (FM/AM/Disk/Sat Radio), and Mode changes the band (FM1/FM2/FM3 or Sirius 1/Sirius 2/Sirius 3).Not ideal, but at least each button does something, and does it consistently in my vehicle. It is much, much better than having buttons at your fingertips that do nothing.
