The FM on mine just died... I'm looking for a stock replacement, or maybe some kind of upgrade. Let me know what you have.

I'd really like to reuse the iPod connection I have working right now. (P.I.E., connected to the CD changer port)

Thanks

Did you check the "Marauder Parts For Sale" forum. There is at least one available there... and at a very good price.

Another option is a Ford Escape radio.

This upgrade doesn't end with the radio...when I did my Audiophile switch it pointed out just how bad the stock speakers were, so be prepared for that as well...mine now has the 6 x 8 Kickers, sounds great! Should have done this a while ago
