With plug-and-play wiring, the speaker-level outputs will be wired into the amp similarly to how the stock system is set up. This is not ideal but works.
An ideal system will involve running some RCA cables down to the amp, and connecting the pre-crossover outputs from the head unit to the amp. The MP68 comes with the necessary connector breakout to do this (although obviously not wires). You can read up on how this is done elsewhere on the forum.
Thanx for the heads up on the crossover wiring.
It's winter in the Northeast and my XF is taking a nap, waiting for the Spring thaw.
I'll be ready to tackle the headunit replacement then, and will search the Forum for details.
I'm lost without handsfree calling and bluetooth streaming.
I have Microsoft Sync on my Ford Truck and with my Android have come to depend on it (quite a bit)....
