cd changer

Is it possible to put a 97 xlt cd changer in a 2001 xlt?

Yes it should be the same unit. The consoles have a wiring harness in them, as does the dash of a changer equipped model.

My 98 truck has an adapter that connects the OEM type radio to the OEM changer. There are many adapters for most vehicles, see if they make what you need. Good luck,

It might be easier to just buy an aftermarket CD changer and a RF modulator to send the signal to the factory deck.

Also you could ask a dealership and see what they say.

The adapter in my 98 truck plugs directly into the changer, an OEM changer. The adapter has been made, I just don't know where it came from. Mine was in the truck when I bought it, I didn't know that it wasn't a factory changer Ford. It should depend on what you want, the factory radio and its safety/convenience etc, or the flashy new aftermarket stuff etc. I like my Mach radio and OEM steering wheel controls.

You can keep the factory radio/ mach audio setup. The RF modulator send the signal from the cd changer through the antenna and you just have to tune the radio to the right station.

I know, but the adapter if available makes a direct connection, and the function button operates the changer. My adapter could be duplicated but I won't do it. Surely someone still makes the thing, the cable for the changer is actually very long. It may reach the quarter panel, and I have a Music Keg to swap in some day.
