    Escape radio swap

    So my factory radio crapped out. I have been reading of the escape swap. I have a radio picked out but wanted to get a little more info on this swap. It looks like the pin configuration is the same for the 3 plugs though the plug receptacles look somewhat different. Is this a plug and play? I understand it has to be a 2006 with the audiophile 6 disc changer and i will need to change the rear plastic mount to the rubber stud.

    Plug & play the receptacles are laid out a little different but the factory harness plugs right in. 6L8T-18C815-fc & -fd are the factory Ford part#'s for the Audiophile unit. Only thing that won't work is the in trunk cd player if you have one.

    Thank you, Eddie! I have delt with Chevys my whole life and a lot of parts interchange among them. I now have to learn about Ford products.

    Mass Marauder, You’re going to love the performance of the Escape Premium Sound Receiver. It’s a noticeable upgrade.
    And MustangEddie is a great guy to do business with!

    Do you have a link or image of the 2006 Escape radio? Does it have Bluetooth capability? Thanks, Curt

    No Bluetooth. I believe there is a recent post about someone trying to add an aftermarket Bluetooth receiver box and it didn't work
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    X2 on the Escape Audiophile, let go of the Tony Robbins' 1990's motivational cassette tapes. Lose the hiss.
