it will fit in the dash physically... but it will NOT work -- plugs look complely different on the back of this unit then on MM radio.
additionally, MM has separate plug for powered subwoofer, which brings the number of plugs to three.
looks like this one has only two, the other two sockets appear unwired.

Fit in the space? Yes.

That's the first thing I noticed was the plugs are different. This unit would not work on the MM. It would work on a CVPI though.

These are the female connections you need on the back of a ford stock radio to work on the Marauder. This is the back of a 07 Ford Escape Audiophile unit which is a popular upgrade. Better sound, 6 disc in-dash changer and can play MP3 file type.

You can mod any of these radios for an 1/8" phono jack, normally just use the same inputs as the tape deck head.
