easy, direct radio swap

[dave robinson]

I am ready to trash my '98 xlt OEM radio am/fm/cd/cassette mach premium because of the digital display not working. Does anyone know of an aftermarket replacement that fills the opening and takes the existing wire plugins?

Try Visteon in a google search.

How big is the hole? If it's 1 Din then just get a radio you like from Crutchfield and slap it in. If it's Din 1/2 or 2 Din then you'll need a install kit to fill the hole or a fancy unit that takes up the space.

Do a search on ebay there are some jensen ones made for ford, if you don't like that just get whatever double din you want and buy the harness + the metra kit

The radio size is actually called a double din. Any dd size radio will fit into the area. However to finish it off nicely you may want to look into a dash piece by metra part number 95-5600

You said you have the mach premium? Does that have a sub in the back? I don't know that just any aftermarket head unit will work with that.. You'll have to do some more investigating on that one...
