OK, here is the question.

Will the Explorer Factory radio work in a 01 Windstar?

I have a brand new factory dual mode radio in the closet and it has the RDS mode so I can see the name of the song and who wrote it and stuff like that. I just bought my wife an 01 Ford Windstar. It also uses the dual mode radios. But, it does something that I don't know if the other radio does, it allows people in the rear to listen to something different from the people in the front. In other words, I can listen to my favorite radio station while my daughter in the rear can either watch a movie or listen to a CD playing in the same head unit, with the help of a set of head phones. The only thing about the Windstar unit is it does not display the RDS mode.

If you don't know, don't worry about it. I just needed to know so I don't have to go through the hassles of changing them out and finding out the hard way. Anyone know for sure one way or the other?
 






It should be plug and play. Remove the headunit and look at the connections, they should be the same.
