Hi.

 

Would appreciate some assistance with this if possible:

I have an 02 galaxy ghia with this head unit:

 

http://www.blaupunkt.com/de/images_produkt/7612001040_15869_LO.JPG

 

It's a blaupunkt radio navigation system with CD changer control - I also have a CD changer in the boot which is connected to the head unit using the radio frequency method (not keen on this plus some of the buttons on the head unit dont work). I want to take the whole system out and replace with the Ford 6006 - i know most of these dont have the squared of rim but thats fine.

 

Basically i need to know how to extract the head unit and what tools I need to carry this out (Fraud tried when they were doing something else on the car but had no joy), also will the 6006 need new wiring or a new cage or will it slot straight in? also will it still be linked to the display on the dash next to the speedometer which displays what radio station your using or will I lose this function??

 

Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help.

 

Jason.

If the 6006 is the standard "DIN-and-a-half" radio-CD or cassettte unit with separate changer, you need a new centre console insert, new switches/switch blanking plates as they are a different size on the different surround panel and a few other bits. This was a topic covered several times around the time that I first bought my Gal back in 2003.

Just to clarify because I've done this several times. The 6006 is indeed 1.5 din and you will need a new insert - the switches will fit however without any issues. The nav is a VW design and hence why ford won't know how to remove it - (though its not hard). Its wired to the cluster though so you will loose that for certain. Why would you want to remove it?

Thanks - some of the buttons are broken on the sat nav unit.

i get it now - the sat nav is not 1.5din is it? i didn't realise that - I bet i'll need a cage for it too as it doesn't come with one. do ford stock the centre console inserts??

 

Correct, the nav unit is indeed bigger and you'll also need a ford to ISO wiring adaptor if its going in the galaxy. The center console won't be stocked by a dealer but they will order it for you and IIRC its quite reasonable at about
