Fits great everything so far works as it should. Easy to install and was all plug and play.
Climate and all controls are there which was an issue i ran into with other kits.

Very pleased with the product and would definitely purchase again for my car

Radio replacement

One of the easy group of people to work with. Radio was a direct replacement and easy to install. Will recommend this company and radio.

Everything works as it should

I was skeptical about updating the radio in my like new 2015 Ford Fusion until I stumbled across the radio upgrade offered by Intelligent1tech. The upgrade kit is a direct replacement upgrade using all of the same connectors from the existing radio. The only accessory needing additional installation is the GPS antenna which I was able to install out of the defrost vent location onto the dashboard at the front edge of the windshield. Once the upgraded radio was booted all of the steering wheel controls, backup camera and sensors worked properly as they should be. This radio upgrade is a great addition for my car. Thank you, Charlie Hartman.
