Introduction & Features
Important Notes
Wiring Connection Chart
The RP4-FD11 interface allows the replacement of a factory radio in select Ford/Lincoln/Mercury vehicles with MSCAN
databus radios. Using this interface will retain factory features such as steering wheel controls (SWC), rear seat
entertainment (RSE), Rear Seat Controls (RSC) and the THX or Sony amplier when the original radio is removed. The
RP4-FD11 also provides data bus driven outputs such as retained accessory power (RAP), vehicle speed sensor (VSS),
illumination, reverse trigger and parking brake.
1.The radio select rotary switch on the side of the interface must be adjusted to the proper radio setting
before plugging the interface into the vehicle (see below for setting chart).
2. The interface comes pre-programmed for all of the vehicles factory SWC functions and does not require programming unless
you wish to re-assign the SWC functions to different buttons. The SWC can always be restored to default settings by pressing
and releasing the program button on the side of the interface once and waiting 7 seconds for the LED to ash 4 times.
3. RSC & LCD buttons that are identical to the SWC will mimic the SWC one for one. All other buttons cannot be programmed.
4. The LED will ash whenever a SWC button is pressed.
5. The RSC must be in AM mode for Track +/- to function. RSC must be set to AUX mode to pass audio to aftermarket radio.
6. Vehicles equipped with a factory amplied system must disconnect SYNC if they wish to use the voice button. Not disconnecting
SYNC will result in the rear speakers muting every time the voice button is pressed.
7. Feeding too strong of an audio signal into the headrest monitors will cause the audio output to shut down. If this happens you
must turn the tv off and on and lower the audio signal.

Installation Steps
1. The radio select rotary switch on the side of the interface must be adjusted to the proper radio setting before plugging the interface
into the vehicle.
2. Make all connections as described in the connection chart on page 1.
3. If the vehicle is equipped with RSE plug the RCA cables labeled “RSE” into the aftermarket radios AUX input. The RSE RCA cables are
necessary to allow the headunit to play the RSE media audio through the cabin.
4. If the vehicle is equipped with a factory subwoofer plug the RCA cables connected to the 8 pin plug into the Subwoofer or Non-Fading output
of the aftermarket radio.
5. Connect the SWC wire according to the chart on page 1 (aftermarket radio MUST support a wired remote input).
6. If you wish to reassign functions to the SWC follow the programming instructions in the next section.

IMPORTANT! If you wish to use the Voice, OK or Phone button in vehicles equipped with analog SWC you MUST wire them into
the RP4-FD11. The wires you need can be found by removing the steering wheel column and accessing the connector shown in
Fig. 1. Once you have located the plug you must cut the wires located in pins 4 & 6 as shown in Fig. 2 (Wire colors may vary by
vehicle). Finally you must connect the steering wheel side of pins 4 & 6 to the RP4-FD11 interface connector as shown in Fig. 3.

Testing & Verication
1. Turn the ignition on. The LED on the interface will turn on & the +12v accessory wire will turn on.

3. Verify that the factory subwoofer (if present) is playing
4. Verify that all SWC are functioning properly.
4. Turn off vehicle & remove key. RAP will be active & keep the radio on for 10 minutes or until the drivers door is opened.
5. The LED & radio will turn off when RAP turns off or the drivers door is opened.

Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE); If equipped
If you would like for the RSE system’s audio to
play through the aftermarket radio:
First set the aftermarket radio to Aux input. Press
the Power button on the RSE & insert a DVD. You
should now hear the RSE audio on the aftermarket
radio. If the RSE audio is only playing on the front
speakers the RSE is set to dual zone mode. Press
the Dual Zone button on the RSE controls until
“Single Play” is displayed across the top of the RSE
screen.
RSE Audio Modes - There are 2 different modes for
the RSE audio, they are Single Play & Dual Play.
1. Single Play - Press the Dual Zone button on the
RSE controls until “Single Play” is displayed across the
top of the RSE screen. In this mode the RSE audio is
played throughout all speakers in the cabin.
2. Dual Play - Press the Dual Zone button on the RSE
controls until “Dual Play” is displayed across the top
of the RSE screen. In this mode the rear speakers will
be muted & the RSE audio is transmitted through the
factory IR headphones while the front passengers can
now listen to whatever source they like.
RSE Operation Notes:
1. If the vehicle is equipped with RSE with single play/
dual play button on the monitor in the headrests, the
driver side monitor is the master source unit. The
source on
the passenger headrest cannot be viewed on the
driver side.
2. Both monitors must turn headphones off in order to
hear rse audio through radio.
3. Monitors without single play/dual play button on
monitor operate independantly and audio can never
be passed to the new radio. In these vehiicles rse
audio comes from aux in on back of center console.
4. In 2011+ vehicles the car must be in ignition mode
for the RSE to operate properly. Being in acc mode will
cause erratic behavior.
