The CRUX SWRFD-60 is a radio replacement interface designed to seamlessly integrate an aftermarket radio into select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles from 2005-2014. This advanced interface allows for the retention of essential factory features, ensuring a convenient and user-friendly experience after upgrading your car's audio system.

Key functionalities retained by the SWRFD-60 include factory steering wheel controls (supporting both analog and CAN-Bus systems), the factory-installed subwoofer, and the center channel speaker (if present). It also maintains factory auxiliary and rear seat entertainment (RSE) inputs where applicable. The interface supports both amplified (including Sony, Shaker, and THX systems) and non-amplified factory audio systems.

Additionally, the SWRFD-60 provides crucial navigation outputs such as reverse gear, illumination, and vehicle speed signal, which are vital for proper functioning of aftermarket navigation units. It also supplies a 12-volt accessory power output (2A MAX). Please note that while it retains Bluetooth buttons on SYNC-equipped models, it does not retain full SYNC, MyTouch, or MyFord features.
