Expy Center Console
Greetings!
Does anyone know if the center console from the Expy will hold the stock 6-disc changer from a F-150? I haven't had a chance to check into this at the dealer yet. I assume that Ford would make them interchangeable so they could use the same parts/wiring harness, etc., but ya never know.
I called the local dealer regarding the Expy center console ... the only way to order it is piece by piece (14 total parts including the lid, screws, brackets, cup holders, etc.)and assembly is required ... cost for a new part(s) was like $500.00, which is a little steep.
If anyone has any info on this, I would appreciate it.

TekSec....got it around 4 this after noon...no the cd does not fit...it is not as deep as the other one...i'll probably put it under the seat....i have the console just sitting between the seats right now...got to figure what bracket goes where and how!! the were loose in the shipment...i had to clean it up a bit...but no major stuff...my truck is pretty new and i told them i wanted a real clean one..i imagine he ran out of the nice ones...mine looked like it was in the mud!!! but cleaner worked fine and i am satisfied....that is if i get it mounted!!!

What about cutting a rectangular hole in the frontmost side of the console and mount it sideways. I'm thinking of putting a Alpine CD player in a Expy console,
I'm not sure if a factory CD player can be mounted sideways, but the Alpine can be.

FasFreddy,
Posted in the other one, too, but my CD changer fit fine. Don't know if a 2000 is different or not. As far as mounting sideways, mine specifies on the sticker "vertical mount".... It also says manufactured by Clarion. I wonder if a Clarion head would control it??? Gonna find out...

TekSec.....i looked at a 2000 console today...its bigger...i personally don't like it as much.....i can put the changer in this console but not with my old hardware...as far as verticle goes, u can change it to 45 degrees or horizonal....u just adjust the spring setting on the side like all other changers....i like to have all the storage i can have so will probably mount it else where....i too and by the way...i used dif bolts in the back like someone else on here did...they were 12mm 1" lg...i also cut the carpet for the new brackets so i wouldnt have the space around the bottom like i have heard others say.....
