Hey

i have a 2000 reg Focus, currently with the 5000 Radio Cassette player fitted with the steering wheel controls. Will the CD6000 replace the same unit and still work with the steering controls? and would it be a simple plug and play or would i need adaptors etc?

thanks

The radios will be a straight swap.
All steering controls will work as before.
One multiblock connection and the aerial plug.
Just make sure you have the codes and a pair of removal tools.
The only difference would be if you bought a 6006 (6 disc head unit) as the plugs are arranged differently, but seperate into individual plugs very easily.

Just checking- you mean swapping this (5000)-



for this (6000)?


You can fit this (6006)-

is the right one for your year

[Stoney871]

The one you looked at is for a newer model of car, the connectors are different, also the radio won't fit your dash.

Ok... So when searching ebay i came across a 6006E... Is that the same as the 6006? Man talk about confusing lol... Should have just stuck with halfords :-P

Yep that's the one where the connector blocks have to be seperated to fit the sockets, they're just held together with clips and is pretty obvious what to do when you look.
I fitted one in my MK1 and it was a cracking radio.

got one in mine saves changeing the disc all the time

[Stoney871]

Far better than trying to find a cd changer and all the brackets and wiring.
Load er up and let rip.
Even though I have an aux connection I still made sure to get a Sony 6cd unit for my MK2.
I likes me music.

ok... 6 disc changer now ordered! Thanks for all your help Now i just need to find something that will hold the CDs in the car!
