Go Blue 48044

I'm looking to replace my (skipper)Shaker 500.A friend of mine installed a real nice Kenwwod with GPS touchscreen etc.However it was almost 2500.00.The new Ford Explorers have a factory GPS touchscreen in the Eddie Baurer's as an option.If you opt not to get the GPS you end up with a stereo system that looks just like the Shaker's same dimmensions and all.I was wondering if I Could replace my Shaker with the factory GPS stereo? I work for Ford and get a 10% discount on Ford factory parts. If this is an option I might be able to do this with out spending a whole lot of money.Has anyone out there looked into this? Thanks in advance.

Logic says yes.... as the explorer has the same exact stereo as the mustang. with the exception of adding the GPS antenna, it should be a plug and go installation.

I would chat with some guys at a reputable dealership.
