4.3. Important Notes on Compatibility and Modifications

• While the APH-FD02 is designed for select Ford vehicles with B&O systems, some specific models (e.g., certain years of Ford Maverick or Ranger) may require minor modifications to the harness connectors (e.g., trimming a small offset) for a perfect physical fit, even if the pin assignments are correct.
• The included instructions may reference older model years (e.g., 2018-2019 Fords). Always cross-reference pin assignments with up-to-date vehicle-specific wiring diagrams available online or from professional resources to ensure accurate connections for your specific vehicle year and model.
• This harness bypasses the factory amplifier's output stage. If your aftermarket amplifier or DSP does not have equalization capabilities, you may be limited to the factory DSP settings, which could affect sound quality. Consider a DSP with flat signal restoration if this is a concern.
