Ford 2020+ radio replacement interface
The Axxess AXTC-FD3 combines steering-wheel control retention with a data interface for Ford vehicles from 2020 onward. It supplies accessory power at 12 volts and 10 amps, plus dedicated wires for navigation outputs such as parking brake, reverse and speed sense. The module retains factory balance, fade and Retained Accessory Power functions. It is engineered specifically for non-amplified audio systems.
Installers fitting aftermarket radios
This unit suits technicians who need a single harnessed solution that auto-detects the vehicle and radio while preserving steering-wheel buttons. It also allows dual assignment of those controls for extra flexibility. Shops working on amplified Ford sound systems or vehicles outside the 2020-up range should select a different interface, as this model does not support those configurations.
Vehicle-specific harness and USB updatability
The included Ford-specific wiring harness eliminates the need for custom loom building and speeds up installation. A Micro-B USB port lets technicians update firmware on the bench, ensuring the interface stays compatible with new radio models without removing the dash. These two items reduce labour time and future-proof the install.

Questions about this item
Does this interface need a separate 12-volt 10-amp accessory power source or does it supply that itself?
It supplies accessory power at 12 volts and 10 amps, so no separate source is required for that function.
Will it keep my steering-wheel audio controls and balance/fade working with an aftermarket radio on a 2020 Ford?
Yes, it retains steering-wheel audio controls, balance and fade, plus retained accessory power on compatible non-amplified 2020-up Ford models.
How can I confirm the Auto-Detect feature has recognised my vehicle and radio after installation?
The interface automatically detects vehicle type, radio connection and preset controls; successful detection means steering-wheel controls and NAV outputs function without manual programming.
