Ford install

Post by daykareboards »

I'm installing a deck in a ford taurus and i've never done a ford before... i cant find a dash kit for it so does the cd player just slide in and fit or what?

Depending on the year, it probably needs a special kit. The climate controls are on the smae panel as the radio...

Try someone that carries Metra or American International!

but on some you cant even get a kit and have to do a custom install. the ones with the electronics climate control instead of the knobs. but if its older like a 93 you dont even need one.

I dont know the specific year, i'll find out though... the climate control and everything is on a different panel... the factory radio is the same size as the aftermarket and it just slides out w/ a din kit

it cant be if the radio is separate. 95 was the last model of ford taurus to have the radio separate. it's the easiest install ever, i had a 93 a couple years ago. pop out the old, new wiring harness, pop in the new one. done.
