Radio Upgrade

[seanwhu]

Hi

 

My MK11's Ford 5000 radio/cassette/cd changer unit is on its way out after drinking to much orange juice from the cup holders above.

 

The cassette has never been used in my 4 years of ownership and I dont see the need for it. The CD changer works fine tucked away in the rear, so I was wondering what head units can I upgrade to ???

 

 

Thanks

Any of the Ford headunits would be a straight swap - 3000, 4000, 4050, 5000 or 6000

I'm not certain about the 6006e ( which has a CD multichanger built in ) as it might not have the connection for the rear multichanger - but these are harder to find.

If you switch to the Radio Navigation System ( built in SatNav with screen ) then it certainly will not attach the current rear multichanger, and you will also need a new facia as it is a slightly different size.

 

Also remember that if you have a Mk 2 Galaxy, then all the above Ford headunits are slightly modified with a 'rim' to fit the square facia, whereas standard Ford headunits ( for Mondeo, Focus, etc...) are curved and lack that rim. So you need to make sure that any replacement is Galaxy specific to fit properly.
