Stinger BKFR033 Black Double DIN Radio Fascia Kit for Ford Transit Custom 2013–2017
The BKFR033 from Stinger is a black double DIN fascia kit for the Ford Transit Custom VN Euro 5 (2013 to 2016) and VN Euro 6 (2016 to 2017). Mounting brackets are included, however this installation requires subframe cutting as detailed in the supplied manual. The hazard button is not included and must be sourced separately. Vehicles not fitted with a factory passenger airbag indicator will also require Ford part number 1799698 or a custom blanker plate.
Product overview
Installing an aftermarket double DIN head unit into the Ford Transit Custom requires more than a standard fascia swap. The BKFR033 is purpose-built for this application, but the installation process involves subframe cutting, making it more involved than a typical plug-and-play fascia fit. The supplied installation manual details the subframe modification required and should be read in full before beginning the installation.
Two additional items need to be addressed before the installation is complete. The hazard button used with this fascia is not included and must be purchased separately. For Transit Custom vehicles not equipped with the factory passenger airbag indicator, the Ford part number 1799698 is required, or a blanker plate can be fabricated using the BKFR033 Blanker template available in the product downloads. Professional installation is strongly recommended for this product given the fabrication requirements.
Features and benefits
