    BTW, they never refunded me my money until I called them so if you got the declined email, you'll have to call to be refunded.
    Thanks for the head's up. I'll give them a ring.

    Edit, I just called. He mentioned our "car club" buying them all up. When I asked if he knew when he'd recieve more he said, "Like I told your friend, give me a few weeks and try again."

    Thanks for the heads up Paul. I checked. No emails and my payment has not been refunded. I'll give it a day and then call.

    I'm confused now lol.

    Which is the unit to get? I want to retain my subwoofer and steering controls but one unit doesn't allow that or something and then some plug can be used to fix that?

    Confused too.........

    I don't listen to any CD's so I could care less about it holding 6 or 86 for that matter. My six disc got disconnected when I hooked up my Ipod adapter.

    My quest is to find a much better sound only with a factory looking unit,also retaining wheel controls and sub, so my question is: Audiophile or Mach?

    If I'm reading this thread correctly both 5L8T-18C815-CE (MACH 300) and 6L8T-18C815-FD (AUDIOPHILE) still allows use of steering wheel control and subwoofer. Supposedly the AUDIOPHILE has a better sound and offers more amps per channel.

    I went through this process last month. The best radio is the 6l8t-18c815-FD. It has more power and sounds better. I installed mine and the sound is great and all the controls on the steering wheel work as they should and the sub. I should also note that model number 6l8t-18c815-FC is the same as the FD but only an earlier model. Works the same. Same radio.

    Google the part # and it seems that this is quite the popular upgrade on older Excursions, trucks, ETC. Looks like they are kinda scarce right now....

    Heads up!

    lowmileageparts.com CALL THEM

    If you ordered a part from them - I ordered the 06 Escape radio, call and check your order. I ordered on 10/17. After reading a post on the "unavailability" of this radio others had when dealing with this site, I called.

    I just got off the phone with them today 10/20 - 3 days later. Yes you guessed it - out of stock. They said "If you have not received a refund (I have not), you will shortly." I am watching my paypal account now.
