nice man, it looks good i have just about the same one in my truck. i think its just a different color. maybe i just got unlucky i had to file down the plastic on mine a little bit to get it to slide in without getting stuck. its been a great radio for me so far. even spilled a 44 on it and it still works buttons r just a little sticky now.

LOL, mine lights up blue when you turn it on, when u first turn the key the big round button lights up red then it all lights up blue its pretty cool, i like it and it sounds great, and hey as long as you got it to fit and everything works thats a good thing, mine just slid right in perfectly!!

o maybe it is the same because mine light up blue as well. its definitely a great upgrade from stock. ya mine slid right in too! probably could use some more support on bottom since i didnt put in an installation kit, but it still holds so rock out!

Nice, my radio was fried plus the amp in the truck so I rewired my own stereo and sub/amp in.

I didn't have a radio when I bought it and wasn't paying 200 for a stock replacement and all the salvage yards didn't have radios either

Looks like a nice stereo you got there, now you can do mine too nah for me i am going to look for a little personal am/fm radio that runs on batteries to sit in my truck, i don't really feel like shelling out the money to have CarToys hardwire a deck in since my wiring is double F double U double C double K ed big time so i would need all new wiring for that. Plus i have to do speakers. I do have a sub and amp ready, 2 count em 2 Audio Pipe 10" subs in a 75 lbs box. I haven't tested them but i got it from a friend for like 75 dollars or so. I had cartoys do the deck in my ranger an they did an excellent job and i wired my own amp and 10" slim Kicker sub but it was a single cab so it was hard to find room. It bumped pretty good. As for the bronco i don't plan to do a dash stereo anytime soon cause other more important stuff overrides it. Besides my exhaust it too loud for a radio

That looks great Shane!

I don't wanna put too nice of a radio in the Zebra because someone would just steal it since I don't have a roof the Zebra isn't the most secure. I do have a CD player with an AUX input for my phone so I'm happy. Plus not having a top or sides means that everyone else gets to enjoy my Classic Rock , too.

Usually i just use my phone but i can't while driving cause it isn't loud enough. Plus if i get a little personal stereo thing i can listen to my favorite radio show to work and from work.

I could get speakers and do have both phone and ipod but no fm radio. I don't have internet on my phone to stream it. My ipod worked great with my ranger cause i had ipod control via USB on the deck so i could upload all my super bassy songs and listen to them. But my brother has it now so i can't take the deck out for the bronco.

haha mine will usually be on as well, i just was figuring out how it all worked and found that it lit up red when its off, pretty neat, i wish i could have gotten one that light up green to kind of match my bronco, but oh well its still pretty cool
