Why are you downgrading if you don't mind me asking? Problems with the D3?

I just want to return to a simple, clean, stock look.

nothing wrong with that....

steeda sells slick looking trim kits to make the stocky look flashy:

I just don't really like the D3 at all. It doesn't fit the interior, its pretty ugly, and I've had countless problems with the navigation. I just want to return to a simple, clean, stock look.
Can you go into depth about your problems with navigation? Was it just having to change out the disk or what?

There's no problems with the navigation or the unit. It is just that I like the look of the stock stereo.

HELP: Does anyone know if all 2007 Ford models came standard with aux input capability? I am about to purchase a 2007 F350 Take-out Stereo and I need to know if the aux will work. Thanks for your help if anyone knows.

Yes, the F350 brochure shows a jack for MP3 players.

Page 3 of the PDF shows a AUX jack.

Not 100% sure it will work with an 07 mustang.
You will need your mustangs 'as built' data
module configuration for sure if it does work.

First off, thanks for helping me so much thus far!!





The model number on that stereo is DZU7A. This is exactly the same as my original stereo that I had. Pictures of my stereo are here:

As you can see, the backs are nearly identical. I am guessing this stereo will work, even if it needs to be reprogrammed. Do you think it will work?

Just be aware that it's the part number you should be looking at. That number you quoted is not the part number. The long number on the sticker is. I just got a take out factory nav unit. It was made for another vehicle. It did not readily fit. They are the same dimensionally, but the face plates are slightly different from model to model. The nav unit's face plate is made to stick out more than the stock one, when I tried to put the surround plate that has the switches and stuff on it, the new unit made it bow outward, like the unit was going to explode through that cover plate. I had to do some work to make it fit. Other than that, it came programmed for my car and it was a plug and play install.

I'm currently bidding on this item on E-bay:

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...b/IMG_1420.jpg



As you can see, the backs are nearly identical. The stereo on e-bay is from an '08 F250, which I know for sure has a standard aux input. I am guessing this stereo will work, even if it needs to be reprogrammed. Do you think it will work?
I don't know....$110.00 + shipping seems high to me for a basic stock radio.
If I were you, I would invest $50 on the Shaker 500 that 157db showed you. I have that system and am very satisfies.
