    Just installed the Audiophile (-FD). Took about 4 minutes except the passenger side doesn't want to snap in fully. Also apparently came with 6 free CDs that I didn't expect. Sounds great and the speed volume thing is cool. Now on to the more challenging upgrades and fixes...

    I read all 18 pages and bought the Audiohile - FD unit, will have in a few days.
    my question is, with the 4 outer holes - how do I get the radio out of my dash, safely?

    Where did you get it? I think you use 4 nails in the holes and push them in which releases the locking mechanism that holds the radio in. Just go slow and don't force anything.

    It's a factory stereo from a 2005 Escape, it has a in dash 6-CD changer and it works with the steering wheel buttons and sub, the factory changer in the trunk won't work though.

    It suppose to be able to play Mp3's , but I can't get it to work.. But it plays burnt CD's with converted MP3's just fine.

    I like the Factory look and the 6-CD in dash is very useful and the DSP button really improves the sound, no more tape-player!

    Here's some pictures:

    alright if you want the radio that i have (which i believe is the best one ford makes that will just plug into the marauder) you have to look for this part number



    and here is the mach 300 and audiophile next to each other.



    they are a little hard to find but i think its worth it. i think it sounds better then the stock unit. any other questions feel free to ask...
    I tried them both too, the audiophile has better sound

    In and done, 10 minutes! Swapped the back rubber locating snub onto the Escape radio for a no rattle fit. Clicked right in. Scrolls song/folder titles, radio info (text button) reads mp3 and regular CD, sound is maybe better, but def as good!

    Thumbs up

    Put my Audiophile in to night but my passenger side will not snap in as well .
    Removed and fiddled over and over for about an hour it will not seat on the right side.
    Hard to tell , Sounds and works Awesome with all steering controls working as well.

    Same radio I put in mine. The CD changer in the trunk won't work with this radio but the CD changer in the head unit makes up for that.
    Plug and Play. Two minute swap job.
