Who makes it?

Anybody knows who makes the Ford radios, like the CD/MP3 in the 08’s? I thought that if it was made by say Kenwood or who ever and I happen to choose a double DNN nav/cd system made by the same company, I could use the existing Sirius satellite box that was put in by Ford.

Visteon was one of the manufacturers... I know there are a few others out there..

On Edit: for Ref... there are manufacturers that make interfaces that will allow you to keep your OEM radio and then add on accessories such as a rev. camera, I-pod "controller" and blue tooth interfaces all in one (minus some cables and provided it has a Aux button and or the RDS feture) Kenwood and Eclipse quickly come to mind... iirc Alpine also had something out there too.

Is there a code mark or something on the unit to indicate who made it?

If it was produced by Pioneer it will have a rather large sticker saying pioneer on the bottom. Visteon should be marked somewhere on the unit if it is a Visteon. Look for a stamp or something...
