Smilge Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 hi alldoes anyone kone if the rds6000 cd unit fitted to the mk2 will fit in the double hole in the mk1, there is one on ebay but chap says from mk 2 it seems to have a squareish frame around it whereas other 6000 models ive seen dont seem to have, thanks I had a 6000CD unit in my Mondeo Mk 111 and was one and a half DIN, if that makes any sense. I'm pretty sure the Mk 11 Gal is double DIN, so whether its the same as the Mk 1 you'll have to ask a Mk 1 owner. Hope this helps Quote
jwilliams Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 The 6000 RDS for the galaxy is the same as the others apart from the square frame part blends it into the dash properly. What was fitted to your MK1? I have just got one off ebay myself to replace the 5000 RDS tape and will be fitting it tonight I can measure its dimentions before it goes in if you need me to. Quote
marinabrid Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Posted October 5, 2006 original was the din rad cassette and the cubby hole underneath, i just need to know if the square framed rds6000 from the mk 2 will fit in the hole if i remove the plastic cubby hole Quote
Guest seacam Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 Hello While on the subject of RDS players I am going to remove my 5000 and fit a standard CD/radio into my MK 2 Galaxy 2.3. What I would like to know is, I purchased a blanking plate and din kit off ebay to fill the space left once the old unit is removed and the new player fitted. Has anyone utilised the gap/space left and turned it in to an extra little storage hole, is there something on the market available to do this or must I get handy with a screw driver and Dremel?

jwilliams Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 Martin Front of CD is 188mm wide and 99mm high Quote
s2will Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 I did this on my wife's Focus, (square 6000CD player from into the same size but rounded cornered double radio cassette aperture). I had to file the corners of the dash hole to open them up otherwise the 6000CD sits proud of the dash by about 10mm. It would be the same in the Galaxy ( I had a mk 2) . The replacement dash panel in the Focus was however only Quote
marinabrid Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Posted October 5, 2006 thanks for measurements will go have a look Quote
Guest HairyPlateEater Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 Mk11 6000 is 1.5 DIN, 2006/7 from Mk1 is 1 DIN with a 1 DIN storage space underneath. Will fit with 0.5 DIN to spare. Covered many times before. All info is in the SEARCH. Quote
