Hi All. I'm new to the forum and looking for some information and advise.
I have an '02 XLT4 door that only has a factory sound system with 4 speakers (in the doors). The CD6 radio part number is 3L2T-18C815-EA with 2 connectors on the back and a single solid chassis. I want to upgrade to a better sounding system without changing the factory look. My research so far, using the search engine on this site and E-bay, just confuses the issue because there are different variations of radios and I'm not sure which one I can use. My car does not have a factory sub-woofer, amp or wire harness for it.
Here is what I have found so far.
All of these radio models are the CD6 type.
Radios model 1R3F-18C815-AD and BC have split chassis (looks like 2 seperate units one on top of the other) with 3 connectors. I know the 3rd is for the sub-woofer amp.
Radio Chassis 3R37-18C815-KA also has a split chassis but only 2 connectors.
Radio Chassis 3L3T-18C815-AC and 3C3T-18C815-AC have single chassis and 2 connectors.
Some radio have built in amps and some don't. I haven't been able to find a web site that can break down the model number into features.
If someone could please decode this and help me out I would appreciate it.
Thanaks,
Joe
