So my CD player stopped working on my OEM in dash CD player, am thinking about getting it fixed, has anyone ever had an OEM radio repaired? Google resulted in many companies, but they all look shady as hell...
Well guys I have to defend Brandon on this one, if he's anything like me.
#1 aftermarket radios at an attraction for theft.
#2 the displays/faces don't match up to factory looks
#3 some of us really like the fact that everything is stock, and I would be more inclined to buy AND pay more monies for a vehicle that's stock rather than modified, including the audio system.
I have paid as much a $90 for a factory AM/FM/CASS for my 1985 F150 to have a factory radio to put back in, and i get more comments on my vehicle's interiors, that they look great stock than having an aftermarket head unit in there.
But hey that's just me, that's the cool thing about us, we are as much individuals as our vehicles.

I never could understand why people down grade the stock stereo in these cars, for more thump? The stock head units are made by Alpine, the amp designed by JBL manufactured by Ford. The stock units are designed for Quality reproduction not bam, thump, bang. The units offer low THD flat frequency response smart soft clipping. Just my two cents, thats what I do for a living, design high end audio.
They are 13 to 18 years old, most sound like ass.
You could probably swap it with any other ford vehicle, however, only one from a lincoln is going to have a lincoln emblem on the face. Gen 1 guys can get a radio out of a t-bird but then it has a big 'ol ford emblem on it.
