Fitting 6006e 6cd/radio Unit

[Guest kenji4444]

Hi,

 

In my Galaxy 2.3LX, 03reg, I have standard OE 4050 cassette/radio. Does anyone know if a 6006e 6 disc CD/Radio unit (6 cd changer in dash) will fit as a direct replacement?

 

Cheers for any advice, Ken.

Yep...straight swap...enjoy !!!!

As Marky says it's a straight swap :lol: but be carefull of which model you get as the Galaxy version has a flat front, where as other models dont they have a curved front to match the dash shape better!

mind you the 4050 (rotary volume control model) is capeable of running a multi changer, that way you get the best of both worlds CD's and tapes

:huh: Thanks both u guys - Having looked around on the web, I see what u mean, VR6, re. the difference between a Fiesta/Focus/etc-type 6006e unit and a Galaxy one. The Galaxy has a sort-of raised flange around the front edge which makes the outer rim flatter on the face. I'll watch out for the Galaxy type, if I go for the 6006e.

 

This unit does seem to be handy; I mean being able to load it from the driving seat rather than a changer in the back!

 

But, next question; do you guys out there know if the cabling for a changer unit (in the flap-top bin, o/s rear) is run in as standard on my LX, or, if I go for a changer, do I have to run all associated cabling front to back - s'pose involving removal of doorsill trims, etc.?

Get in the back bin and have a look around for a spare cable!!

Re the curved front - I've tonight fitted a 6006E to my 2002 Gal, facelift model, and it looks fine, tbh, it softens the look up a bit over the square 6000e model..
