Could it be that I purchased a bad radio?
-
I have a 2008 Lincoln MKZ with the basic sync radio. I found a cool oem nav radio out of a loaded 2007 MKZ. Trying to figure out the audio control wiring. I was wondering if anyone has access to the wiring diagram for both radios 2008 sync and 2007 nav.

The new navigation radio came out of a 2007 MKZ (with amp) and I am trying to upgrade my 2008 MKZ (no amp in trunk). The Donor car had the extra yellow/purple plug.

Thank you 4N1M4L, I am going to test it out and get back right away! The Donor car carried an amplifier but my car with the stock sync radio has no amplifier in the trunk. I believe with a wiring diagram I'll be able to conclude which wires go where and how the radio is controlled.

I'm in the same predicament as you! I have a 2008 Lincoln MKZ with the standard factory radio. I went to a junkyard and found a cool factory lincoln radio which was touch screen and carried a navigation system. After taking out my base model radio and installing the new cooled looking radio I noticed that most of the wires plugged right in! The radio works great... other than the fact that I have no control of the volume. After going back to the parts yard I noticed the other vehicle having one extra plug that my car did not possess. This plug consists of two solid gray wires, one solid purple wire, and a yellow wire with a purple line... could this 4 wire plug be the issue of no volume control? Everything else seems to work great. Not a knob or command issue as the volume does appear to be giving command on the screen. The audible sounds remains at a constant high volume. Any ideas?! Dan

I did the same thing! 2009 MKS 19inch wheels on my 2008 MKZ I had to get a size down in tires 235/40R19. The fronts fit perfectly but the rear hub on my MKZ was too big! I ended up drilling/sanding out a larger hole on the rims 3.5mm to be exact!

Anybody have some sort of wiring diagram I could follow to possibly figure out where this extra plug is supposed to go?! Thanks, Dan
