Radio interchange

I have an 02 with the 6 disc changer. I'd like to swap it out for a unit with an aux or bluetooth imput. Will a later one plug right in or should I just look aftermarket?

Enter the info for your truck in the search engine at crutchfield.com & they will give you a list of after market radios that will fit your 02.

The radios in my 01 Escape [Premium Sound with a sub in the rear], Ranger [6CD Changer MP3 non premium sound] and Superduty [6CD changer with Premium Sound] are all interchangeable. Plug and play. From what I understand, the 04 Superduty radios are different but I have not looked at one.

The 03 Superduty has a rebuilt 02 6CD Changer with AUX that replaced the original while in warranty.

The Superduty and Escape premium sound radios both have AUX inputs for IPODS that I installed. The Ranger doesn't have the capability to add AUX input for another source.

I have a factory 6 disc changer with an AUX port added by 1factoryradio and I find I just don't use it, I'd trade for the same w/o the AUX.

The AUX port is put into the #6 preset, so now its a 5 disc changer.....that's the only way it can be added.

I'll include 2 hook up cords/cables.

Nick, Here is my radio, notice the AUX PORT is installed in the former #6 push button.....

That's how 1factory radio does it-it taps into the pre amp for the CD player in order to work and inable the use of phones, ipods, ect
