That's exactly why I got it. $105 shipped from Crutchfield, included factory to aftermarket wiring harness, cd holder, and removal tools for the stock radio. Considering it has source tone memory, scrolling text, good fm reception, and basic black face...it was one of the best deals on a basic cd player I found with aux input capability.

That looks fantastic. I'm glad to see someone else with a newer Ford Truck on the forums. This gives me some good ideas for my explorer. Good work!

I was like, "let me get this straight: It sticks to the door and works wirelessly? I think I can do that myself, *****!"

I think it's worth it. Cheers.

That sounds awesome, I have a bronco2 that I'm doing all my mods to, it has power locks but no remote entry. I'm planning on getting a car alarm system that will allow me to have remote entry, any idea if this keypad remote will work with a car alarm's remote entry since mine doenst have one originally?
