NemesisRouge Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hi, I've recently bought a Fiesta, first car, the radio in it is a Ford 6000 CD (Picture here). If I buy this one to replace it will it fit, will I need to buy anything extra to go with it and will I be able to install it myself? I've got zero experience with this sort of thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My audio "section" is mostly towards the beginning Cheers guys, I reckon this one might be a bit of a big task for me at this stage. I've called Halfords and they reckon it'll take them an hour or two so I'd probably end up travelling around with the radio hanging out for a month, I'll be giving it them to get it done professionally.

NemesisRouge Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 How far away are you from Bridlington? About 3 hours away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 About 3 hours away. What's your budget for the headunit itself? Personally, if I was unable to do it myself, I'd pay an autoelectrician. Not halfrauds :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not halfrauds :) £150ish, but I'm currently looking at this one http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/dab-radios-car-stereos/kenwood-kdc-bt39dab-car-stereo-with-bluetooth-hands-free Should be all done for comfortably under £200 with the trade in which I'm pretty happy with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
