Here are some more information for Mustang Radio:
About 2 weeks ago my son bought a really sharp Smart Car and of course then decided it was not good enough as it was and he wanted to remove the MP3 cable for a Radio 10 model for easier access and to make it, what he termed, cool. Much to his dismay there are numerous challenges in moving the MP3 cable from the glove box to the small space between the steering wheel and the radio where he could easily reach it. The only other option for relocating the MP3 cable for easy access is in the upper kick panel in the passenger foot area (not really a good option).
So he enlisted my help because to tell the truth he is indeed a little mechanically challenged and I am an old school, died in the wool, do it yourself kind of guy (before we were finished with this little project I was wishing I was anything but)...
Well needless to say, as with almost any change you make to factory applications in a new car, we ran into a number of issues so I decided I would share this experience so you will not have to go through what we had to go through to get this done.
I am going to share what I think are some important step by step instructions that I feel will be really helpful to anyone wanting to accomplish this particular feat. Please follow each step before moving on to the next one, as it will cause you a lot of grief (as I learned from personal experience) to have to start over from the beginning if you do not proceed as directed.
First of all, the lower button console with the seat heater, door locks, hazard warning flasher, etc. buttons must come off first. This narrow console is easy to remove but needs to be pried up from the bottom as it comes straight back toward you (straight out from the console). Simply slip your fingers in behind the console from the top and pull toward you, then the removed console can hang loose without causing a problem.
Secondly, in the same square center hole where the lower console wires come through the dash panel, there is an Allen screw. This screw holds the plastic panel in place, which surrounds the radio and a/c vents. Carefully remove the screw being aware NOT to drop it, which is extremely easy to do in this very tight space.
Next, slide your fingers under the plastic panel which surrounds the radio and h vents and beginning on top nearest the windshield on either corner, gently lift up and pull it toward the back of the vehicle. This will release the plastic clips. Lift the panel up and out from behind the lower dash panel below the radio.
Looking at the radio, it has four Allen screws, which hold it in place in each of the four corners. Unscrew them until they are loose, as they do not need to be removed from the radio but simply unscrewed. Slide the radio straight back and then to the right where it should sit securely on the lip of the glove box.
At this point you may choose to drill a three quarter inch (18mm) hole in the passenger foot area just to the right of the vertical dashboard mount in the center of the car below the radio/heater area where there is a plastic kick panel. There is a large hole to the right of that panel where you need to put your hand up and into to ensure no wires are in the way.
Behind the radio you can feel a large slot at the bottom of the radio hole. You need to pass your MP3 cable through this slot and mount it in the new three quarter inch hole that you drilled in the kick panel. This will provide for a nice, clean and out of sight installation.
Now simply plug your MP3 interface cable into the MP3 female connector in the kick panel at the back of the radio nearest to the drivers seat, where the main power connector and wires are located. Above this connector is a slim, dual male connector. The MP3 female cable connector plugs into the small connector slot in the slim, dual male connector, which is furthest from the drivers seat. The retaining clip in the MP3 cable connector faces the far side of the slim, dual male connector. Plug this square female connector into the back of the radio. This connection even mutes the music to answer the phone or allow you to make a call when needed.
Now you are ready to test your MP3 player by plugging the player connector cord into the female connector you just installed. Connect your MP3 player making sure it is at a high volume level in order to give a full range of volume control to your Smart radio. Turn on the car key and the radio, selecting auxiliary via the smart remote control button, and you should hear your MP3 music in impressive stereo. Be sure to check the controls for correct operation and functionality.
If everything works correctly and to your satisfaction, turn off the radio and the car key, reinstall the radio, the panel which surrounds the radio/a/c vent and the lower console by reversing the procedure as listed in the steps above.
Pat yourself on the back for a job well done and get ready to enjoy your tunes and admire your work as you cruise around in your now cool Smart Car!
How Is The Radio Installed In Ford Cars
The Ford manufacturers make it easy for changing the radio in any of the Ford cars. This really is done by making the radios of same specifications so that the size and wiring harness need not be modified. This holds a great advantage to other manufacturers. Automobiles like Mustang, Taurus, and F150 are types of cars with easy swapping of radios. The similar can be followed with other models of cars as well.
For changing the radio, which includes both the removal of old stereo and replacing it by installing a new one, a tool that is specially manufactured for this purpose by the Ford. This really is a hook tool and can be used easily by anyone to take out the radio from the Ford cars. This are designed in such a way that they can help in easy removal. Sometimes this tool may not be available everywhere, and hence you may need to use the market equivalent of this tool.
The changing of the radios consists of two steps, one is removing the old one and the other is installing a new one. Before starting with this job, the preliminary step for the purpose of safety is to disconnect the cars battery. This may cut out the power supply to the car and hence prevent any electrical accidents. This really is generally done by removing an end generally the negative one using a wrench.
The handling of the radios inside the Ford cars are very easy compared to the other cars. With the help of the Ford special tool, called the hook tool, this could be achieved. The holes which generally are small in size are first located inside the sides of the radio.
The tool is then inserted into these holes, and pushed gently toward the out. Once this really is done, the radio automatically is pushed out because the tool removes the clips. These clips are responsible for the radio to stay in position. The radio is then removed out gently, and all the wirings and connections are disconnected using a suitable tool.
The second element is installing a radio. The radio may be a Ford manufactured one or an aftermarket one. When a market radio other than Ford is to be installed in a Ford car, the wiring and the mounting is a little different and hence might need some special tools for this. But when a Ford manufactured radio is to be installed these problems can be ignored. The radio have to be inserted into the dash after connecting the wires and place the clips in place to hold the radio fix.
But when a market one is to be fixed, the instructions given on the package can be followed. The mount that is provided for the previous radio have to be removed after taking out the screws inside the slot provided for the radio. The mount that needs to be used is then fixed following the particular instructions. The wiring harness is also made sure that it is compatible. If this really is not noted, it may not work.
This way one can easily follow the Ford radio installation instructions.
