2011–2014 Chassis Codes: U387 (CD3/EUCD Platform, Facelift) | Model Years: 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014
This page provides the complete 2011–2014 Ford Edge radio wiring diagram for the facelifted 1st generation U387 chassis. Use this guide when installing an aftermarket head unit or troubleshooting your factory stereo in a 2011, 2012, 2013, or 2014 Ford Edge.
The 2011 model year brought a significant exterior and interior refresh to the Edge, along with the introduction of Ford’s MyFord Touch infotainment system on SEL, Limited, and Sport trims, which replaced the previous simple SYNC-radio setup with an 8-inch touchscreen that also controls climate functions on many configurations. The base SE trim generally retained a simpler non-touchscreen radio. The optional Sony premium audio system with a factory amplifier and subwoofer continued to be available on higher trims through this generation. Because MyFord Touch integrates climate and vehicle settings into the same screen as the radio on many trims, replacing the factory head unit in an MFT-equipped Edge is considerably more involved than on a base radio, so confirm whether your Edge has MyFord Touch before purchasing aftermarket installation components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the factory radio on a 2011–2014 Ford Edge with MyFord Touch?
Yes, but it takes more planning than a non-touchscreen model. On Edge trims equipped with MyFord Touch, the 8-inch factory display often handles climate control functions in addition to audio, so simply pulling the touchscreen radio and dropping in a standard Aftermarket Double-DIN Unit can leave you without dash-mounted climate controls unless the factory HVAC controls are physically separate on your specific trim. Check whether your Edge’s climate controls are physical buttons below the screen or integrated into the touchscreen itself before choosing a replacement head unit and dash kit.
Do I still need a factory amp bypass on this generation of Ford Edge?
If your Edge has the optional Sony premium audio system, yes. That system continued into this generation and routes speaker output through a factory amplifier and subwoofer setup, so a line output converter or amp bypass harness is typically needed to properly integrate an Aftermarket Radio or amp. Base audio systems without the Sony branding generally run non-amplified and do not require a bypass.
Will I need to retain steering wheel audio controls on a 2011–2014 Ford Edge?
Yes. Steering wheel-mounted audio controls remained standard equipment across SE, SEL, Limited, and Sport trims for this generation. As with the prior generation, these buttons use a resistance-based multiplex signal that most Aftermarket Radios cannot interpret without a dedicated steering wheel control retention interface.
What dash kit do I need for a 2011–2014 Ford Edge head unit replacement?
The 2011 facelift changed the dash bezel and center stack styling compared to the 2007–2010 Edge, so Dash Kits from the earlier generation will not fit. Additionally, kits differ depending on whether your Edge has MyFord Touch or the simpler non-touchscreen radio, since the surrounding trim panel and opening size are not identical between the two setups. Confirm your exact trim and infotainment type before ordering a dash kit.
Does the factory backup camera work with an aftermarket radio on this generation?
A factory-installed rear-view camera became available on the Edge starting with this generation, most commonly paired with MyFord Touch. If you replace the factory Head Unit, the OEM camera’s video feed generally needs to be routed into the new head unit through a compatible camera video input or adapter, since most aftermarket radios do not natively read Ford’s factory camera signal format without one.
