TaxiDriver Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 I have an MOT failure 2004/2005 Mondeo with a CD/Radio, (model #2006 I believe?) Would this be a straight swap into my 2005 Transit which only has a Tape/Radio (model #2004 ?) I'm hoping all the plugs would be exactly the same ?

TaxiDriver Posted July 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Thanks guys, I'm only really bothered about putting he Cd unit in the transit but I'll check I have the code before unplugging it -taa My mum bless her has bailed me out to get the Transit repaired & Mot'd as its been stood up since last Sept/October.

TaxiDriver Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Update : They DO NOT straight swap out :( Transit is a straight forward Double Din aperture and the Mondeo is ........well ..summat else as all the function buttons are around it, Although, I believe some Mondeos had a higher end Sony Double Din unit fitted Ho Hum, knew it seemed to easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a straight swap - head unit and multi play CD changer from a focus to a transit, units were identical, just one had multi play buttons and the other didnt. There's loads of fascia plate adapters available- maybe you need one of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Well if they didnt look the same shape that should have been a clue... I didn't have both vehicles here for a side by side comparison I did a straight swap - head unit and multi play CD changer from a focus to a transit, units were identical, just one had multi play buttons and the other didnt. There's loads of fascia plate adapters available- maybe you need one of them? Some of the higher end variants (if there can be such a thing] of the Mondeos had a Sony Unit that was a Double Din unit with all its control buttons on its face, mine being a lower class has a Ford unit with function buttons around the central unit.

Me matt Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Ive given up messing around trying to satisfy ancient upload requirements on here or I would post up some pics.... Have you looked into if you may need an adaptor plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted July 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 @ Me Matt, No, the Cd unit in the basic Mondeo is bigger than a double din unit as its various function buttons are around the central unit. The Sony head unit in higher models is simply Double Din. Thanks It'd be obvious IF only it was easy to take and upload a couple of photos on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 just put it on top of the dashboard and duct tape it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
