The stock cd/tape tuner in my AU is playing up and i'm wondering if I can replace it with a third party tuner. Will it just be a case of removing the factory fitted unit and sticking in a new (probably Kenwood) one? Does Ford use special connectors? I've been trying to get the cover off but so far haven't had any luck because i'm not entirely sure how the thing comes off.

Is it just held on by clips? Can I just use a screw driver to lever it off or will I break something if I do this?

i know it can be done my dad has an alpine where his cd player used to sit and was installed by himself. As for how its held in i have no idea on that one.


Try the search function i think i remember some other topics among these lines.

there is a thread on how to remove these

if it is a double din u need " special tool" which is basically 2 u shaped steel wires notched at the end

single din i have no idea

in regards to the wiring at the back you are able to get a adaptor to plug into the ford wiring harness that has all the wires labbeled ie left/right/rear speaker + and -

makes it easy to install

Well I couldn't find the thread so I thought i'd ask afresh.I'll go have another look.

hey mate i got a full custom install in my car which is an AU so if you want to know anything add me to msn mr_xr60@hotmail.com
