Am looking for the correct part number (or numbers?) for this unit that would allow me to do a simple 'plug-n-play' replacement with the stock AM/FM/tape/CD-changer controller in my 2000 Lightning.

[Correct part number used is: 1C3F-18C815-AB]

Thank you!

Spoon,

I don't think it is compatible . . .

Best of luck . . .

 

Will the CD6 system work in a 2001 f-150?

 

Yes, the proper CD6 will fit and work with a little bit of plastic trimming inside the dash. This was confirmed by my local Ford 'authorized' electronics installer, "Bill" at radiosandmore.com, and from reading the previous posts here. I'm just not quite sure of the proper part number, so I'm going out on a limb here.

But if everything works as planned, I'll post some install pics within the week. Wish me luck! =)

Will it work with the factory CD changer also?

 

Yeppers, again given the correct CD6 installed, pressing the CD button will switch between its internal changer and the factory changer. (Verified by previous posts on this board.)

Incidently, I'm really wanting the CD6 so I can still keep the changer capability once I the external changer with something like this:

No real word on when or if it'll really be released, but I'm still hoping.

 

That is COOL!

 

I'm gonna slam that mp3 player in my rig!

New CD-6 is in! The part number on the unit I got is 1C3F-18C815-AB. Now when is that Phatbox going to be released?

 

how much!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!?????

 

I got lucky... $199- off of eBay... retails for like $500-600 from the dealer or radiosandmore.com. However, you are assured of a brand new unit when you buy retail, and you can exchange your old head unit for some money off.

 

and it works with the factory CD changer?

 

Yes, it works with the factory CD changer as well. By pressing the CD button, I can alternately play from the internal magazine or the factory-installed CD changer. The only thing with the factory changer is that you can't just press the number 6 and have it play CD #6 in the factory changer (like you can with the internal magazine).

 

HEY, WHOOOAAAA!!!!!!!! I've been looking for something like this!!!!!

I've been told this unit DOES NOT fit my 2002 SuperCrew? Is this true, if so WHY NOT? Looks same size? Too deep?


OR, do they just mean it won't fit normally, and I need to "cut some plastic" as you guys are talking about?

Lastly, anyone know how much power it has?


THANKS!!!! HELP!!! I'm desperate!!!!!

 

If your truck is a 2002 F-150, it probably is just the "cutting plastic" part.

Attatched is an 'after' photo of the hole I needed to cut out. The red line is where I cut with a Dremel tool.

The best advice I can give is for you to pull out your stock radio and look behind it with this photo as a reference. You'll quickly understand what I'm talking about.
