2011-19 Explorer Console to PIU Adaptor Wiring Harness Kit
Current status: The next batch of harnesses is expected to ship late August or Early September. We are currently working with a plastic injection factory to produce several of the connectors which Ford no longer offers. This is postponing harness production, but will ensure higher availability of harnesses once finished. Back-ordered harnesses will receive priority once the next batch is available. Thank you!
This kit allows for a plug-and-play installation of any 2011-2019 Explorer center console into any 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility (may also work for Ford Taurus consoles into Police Interceptor Sedans, but has not yet been tested).
This kit includes the adaptor wiring harness/components only and does not include the center console. Also included are two SYNC replacement USB panels for use with PIU Sync 1 systems. This is useful for Explorer consoles that are not currently compatible with your PIU SYNC system.
This kit utilizes the Police Interceptor 6-way and 14-way connectors to power the console. It is important to verify that your Interceptor is still equipped with its connectors prior to ordering to ensure they have not been removed. If they have been removed some manual wiring will be needed to make this harness work with your vehicle.
Console features this harness enables:
- Cigarette lighter power points
- Cupholder and rear ambient lighting (2011-2015 pre-LIN only, Ford Ice Blue color only)*
- Rear USB ports (on higher trim 2016+ models)
- Storage task lighting
- Retains any pre-wired 6-way and 14-way connections due to use of T-harness'
Additional features this harness provides:
- 2x Accessory pigtails for easy equipment install (dashcam, radio, lights, etc...)
- Dedicated console fuse box
- Integrated relay for ignition-on power to prevent battery drain
- Install troubleshooting support
Possible supported features with additional parts/labor**
- Console mounted shifter conversion
- Rear HVAC controller
SYNC USB hub wiring is not affiliated with this harness and requires a USB A to USB mini cable.
The rear 110v AC outlet is powered from a separate connector, and the power inverter is located elsewhere in the vehicle on civilian Explorers. Therefore this harness kit does not enable the AC power outlet. It is possible to install your own power inverter and tie the power into the existing outlet.
*From 2016-2019 the Explorer console ambient lighting switched to a LIN-bus system that cannot be activated on a Police Interceptor. For 2016-2019 consoles a replacement cupholder ambient lighting is available HERE
**Additional OEM features can be enabled by sliding terminal pins into the console harness connectors. It is highly recommended that you obtain a wiring diagram for your vehicle/console before attempting. We do not offer support/advice for these modifications.
