I found a double din unit from a 2008 F250 for sale. The unit in my 1999 F250 is toast, and was wondering if the wiring harness would be the same - would like to buy this one and just slide it in and be done with it.

Does anyone know if it will simply "plug and play"?

If I need an extra harness or something I will simply buy a new deck from crutchfield with all the harnesses etc (as it is cheap) and do a full install, but if the used one will fit perfectly it is a cheaper way to go and I will do that.

Anyone know if it will work?

Thanks!!

(Also, anyone know if the deck from the 2008 is half decent? Certainly it is better than my non-working deck with the tape player!!!). Guy is asking $50 which doesnt seem too bad for OEM, usually they are WAY overpriced...)

 

Why not just yank the bad one out and compare them side by side? Then you can plug in the replacement one to verify it works (or not).


My GUESS is they're compatible.
