I recently purchased what is supposed to be a 2004 6 CD head unit. I don't think it is out of a Lightning. The mounting bracket is on the bottom instead od the 4 din holes (2 on each side of the front plate). Also it had 3 input sockets instead od 2 . Part # on back of radio is : 3R3T-18C815-KA. Any front pics or #'s is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Heres a front view pic of a 2003 stereo. Hope this helps!!!

 

Google that number. It's from a Mustang.

 

I wouldn't spend too much time on it. You can attach the best speakers and even a sub and it will still sound like junk.

Even the cheapest Kia or Hyundai has a better unit than that. And Ford had the nerve to put some cheap Chinese paper speakers on top of it all. Worst system out of any vehicle I have seen in recent memories.

All IMO of course.

Tim- You were right! Somebody at Circuit city pulled a switch when my friend went to pick up his truck with the new CD changer they installed. They left "that one" on his front seat in a box. I did a search on the web, and it turned up as a 2003 Mustang! Like Trackbeast said, it sounded like **** because it had an amplifier socket on the back that wasn't being used by my lightning factory wiring! Looks like it was probably putting out 7 watts!!No wonder it sounded like hell!! Back it goes!!
