Hopefully this will be a short post and simple. I have a 2006 F150 FX4 with a factory single CD player headunit. Can I replace my factory single CD payer headunit with a 6 disc mp3 factory head unit that is out of a 2005 F150 with no wiring or install issues?? Just slip in and plug in? Your help is well appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 

get the HU, get a dash kit and wiring harness
splice the wires from the new HU into the harness, then plug and play

 

Will I need all of this even though I am going from a 2005 F150 to a 2006 F150?

 

It should be plug and play. I am relatively new to F-150s but if it is anything like the rangers, if the body style doesn't really change the internals don't usually either. I would bet $100 it will work.

 

oh, my bad. i didnt even read it, all i said read was new head unit. my bad. yea, plug and play

 

Besides the dealership, any recommendations on where to buy factory head units?

 

ebay usually has several

 

Yes plug and play as mentioned above. I did this in mine, went from an FM/AM stock head unit to the 6 disc stock changer.

Look around on www.Craigslist.org

 

i have one i was gonna put in my truck (an audiophile head), but instead i went with a jvc aftermarket...i think it came out of an '05, and i have an '04 and it worked... i had it hooked up for a while,but it sounded terrible without the woofer. i actually took it BACK out and put my regular 6 disc changer unit back in until i got the jvc. so i have both an audiophile head and the regular 6 disc head in a box in my garage right now if youre interested.
