The changer is made by Clarion but modified to "speak" the Visteon control protocol. If you are still under warranty you can get a new head unit for free from Ford, If not and you want to keep your stock changer try www.radiosandmore.com and you can purchase a replacement HU. Visteon HU have very good sound quality for an OEM unit. David Navone tested them and gave them very high ratings.

Re: Pocket
The pocket can go above or below. If you go with it below, you will need to a little trimming on the plastic inside the stereo hole. Nothing major, just some trimming. Do a search and you can find some pics.
I wanted to go with the pocket below at first, but I tried it with the pocket on top and I liked it that way, so that is how it stayed.

Those head unit look nice.
I have the King Ranch Woodgrain and the climate control. I was looking for a kit that has the same smooth surface that the climate control has. Not the raised bump like the kit from crutchfield. It doesn't look bad nut it's my preference.
I also dont care for the gap between head unit and trim. Let me know if anyone has a smooth kit.

Hey Reelwork,
I was noticing that you don't have the climate control system. I have the 2002 Supercrew and mine has the climate control. Did you change it out, or was mine a mid-year change?

ATTENTION Ipod INSTALL
I bought the adapter from Logjam and installed it in no time. It fit and all wires were hooked up accordingly.
This device did not work for me. I made sure it was getting power and that it was properly grounded. No Luck. I messed with it for sometime and couldn't get it to work.
The radio came on and when I put a CD in it played but this adapter didnt come on or play what I had going to it. It gave me the NO CD message and I tried putting the CD in every single slot. Still no luck. I tried pressing CD while a cd was in and it just blinks then plays the CD.
I consider myself handy with electronics. I tested each Power wire and all was good.
I can't rule as to wether the product itself was bad or not. When I called P.I.E. tech they said I should have read the part about it not working with my vehicle. They offered no help based on this statement.
Did you guys do anything special or am I S.O.L.?
