I have a 2000 f250 with factory cd player and wanting to upgrade to a later model with 6 disc and mp3 capabilities. Say a 2008 model. i assume the plugs may be different but other than that will they swap out? TIA

 

2000




2008


No

 

is there any that will swap that has 6 disc and mp3? if so what model? i realize i may have to modify dash or use adapters, thats no problem.
Thanks

 

I'm not sure you'll find an OEM that is swapable with those.

When the MP3 capability came out, Ford had gone away from the locking mechanism that was used in 2000. At some point they realized how easy it was to lift those radios if you had the removal pins.

That radio will come out and disappear less than 10 seconds after the window is busted or the lock is popped.

 

Yep! You can find them if you keep an eye on ebay. I got one from a 2006 Escape -- CD6/MP3 with the correct plug on the back and the correct mounting config...

Here's some info I put up about my swap...
