Radio swap

[tom.h]

Hi all
I have a 1998 explorer. The rds 7000 radio has given up. Anyone tell me can I fit the rds 6000 as a straight swap?

Thanks

Tom

Any radio that is the same physical size will fit make sure you have the unlock code
This was in another thread:


The 5000, 6000 & standard 7000 as well as "round cornered" 6006 units should fit and the 5000, 6000 and std 7000 still have the CD Changer connection. As stated by others, you'll lose the rear controls but that stops the kids changing the track or station, so it's no bad thing!!

Thanks for reply. My model doesn't have rear controls. So no matter. However the other information is useful.
Thanks
