I'm running one of these from the first batch and it's such a great upgrade over the stock plastic piece. The look, fit, and feel are all excellent and the installation is a breeze.
It's a subtle upgrade that nobody but the driver will notice, but the driver will definitely notice.
Are you referring to this photo?
That 3-wire plug is critical as it includes the remote power-on. Without that you'll have power and signal going to the amp but nothing else going happening.
Did you forget to plug it in or was it just not present? Be sure you're upgrading a B&O system...
Considering that it costs more than $2k to upgrade the pre-'25 B&O system it's probably a reasonable number.
That said, the post-upgrade sound quality is pretty off-the-charts, but that's all speaker selection and mObridge technology.
It's nice to see Ford addressing the anemic sound quality...
Wheeled like this all day.
The mat-looking-thing is my Dirty Dog 4x4 headliner folded back and stowed on the attic shelf. Let us wheel open top all weekend and still drive home with some sound deadening as I reinstalled the headliner before pulling away from the campground.
@Mountains2Metal flip-down attic shelf. The additional storage it gives you from an otherwise unused space is fantastic. It's so useful that I retro-fitted mounting points just for it on my early '21 Bronco.
I store my recovery gear, tools, and random odds-and-ends that I always carry with me...
My wife got tired of the @Mountains2Metal attic shelf squeaking and clunking so I did something beyond lubing the pivots.
Took some measurements, designed these things, and printed them up as a rough draft.
To fit here on both sides.
I say rough draft because they have very little...
My second recommendation would be to drill holes and install rivnuts. They work wonders, and it's what I retrofitted on my rollcage to install the M2M flip-down attic shelf.
Rivnuts and an install tool are both pretty cheap.
I'm pretty sure the solution is a combination of this:

This project is on my to-do list and I had these parts in my wishlist.
Capping the port on the factory sub addresses that 80hz dip. Fraser was surprised how solid the frequency response was on my sub during our tuning session. My factory enclosure is stuffed with poly-fil and very tightly sealed with 3D printed caps cemented in place.
Which product did you use?
Auto start/stop never bothered me until about 2 weeks ago when it started getting aggressive about shutting down the truck at every little stop even before it's finished warming up. Not sure if there was a recent over the air update but the behavior seems to have...
Got any photos of how you sealed up the kick panel area?
Something like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VNTRSTH intrigues me but I'm not sure if it would completely kill the midbass the way I've seen with foam baffles.
I'm coating everything with Blaster Surface Shield annually, staying on top of washes, and just trying to keep ahead of the problem.
My Expedition rotted due to road salt and beach driving so I'm taking whatever action I can to keep the Bronco from suffering the same premature fate.
When viewing the configuration through the mObridge software are your rear speakers set as tweeters or as full range speakers? Make sure you're sending full signal, or at least midbass and highs, to the rears and not just highs.
Edit: And you are correct, any tuning is now done through the...
If you weren't planning on using amps that you already have I'd have suggested getting the mObridge B&O solution. It's plug-and-play, allows you to tune the system to your specific speakers, and includes both a powered subwoofer output in addition to a line-level out.
The B&O system has a lot...
