Oh well, it all turns out great, sounds very good, as I mentioned the layout of factory stereos are more friendly to my eyes. Aftermarket things that jam too much into too small of a space, not my thing.
I do appreciate the replies.

Funny. I only sound good in the shower.
But, funny you say that. Earlier in the year there was someone on ebay who refurbishes radios and adds an input jack on the front for mp3, etc..
Kind of a nice touch.

On my 99 F250 I picked up a Blaupunkt double din from a Ford Focus and it was a straight drop in ! Reason I got it because it played MP3's . Had a lot of other neat features and the price was right!

The Ford (it was either from a Focus or Mariner) head unit I purchased and installed uses a "Mode" button for setting the clock, speed controlled volume settings, etc. I can even splice in a connection from the speedo wiring to activate the SCV as a "new" feature which did not come with our stock units.

I just went back and verified that the head unit I purchased was from a 2007 Ford Escape. I had not remembered correctly in my earlier post. It fit into my F250's double din mounting bracket perfectly, the wiring harness connectors were a perfect fit, and the Escape head unit does have the SCV feature built into it... I just have not yet spliced into my cruise control wiring (not speedo or throttle position) to enable the SCV, but I have the wiring diagrams for both my truck and the 2007 Escape stereo system configurations, so it's just a matter of chasing down the correct wire for the splice.

Just FYI, there was something wrong with the link you posted with the image tags. I had to edit your post and remove the Photobucket link because it was messing with the thread, not allowing it to load properly.
