2001-2003 CD-6 Factory Head Unit
Hey guys,
I just bought a 2003 Ranger Edge and I need a 2001-2003 CD-6 Factory Head Unit. The previous owner took the stereo out and there's just a empty space there now.

I have a 2001 single disc stock cd player if you're interested. I'll sell it cheap I'm just trying to get rid of it.

Re: 2001-2003 CD-6 Factory Head Unit
I have the stock one out of my 2001. 6 disc. But when I took it out it said Cd error. So I don't know how easy that is to fix or if it matters. If you're interested let me know.

Re: 2001-2003 CD-6 Factory Head Unit
Don't do it, I have one in my truck, It always has the CD ERROR, It has a way of keeping my CD's also. This is a very common problem with the factory 6 CD changer, regardless of year. The radio part works great but the CD part not so good. I plan on changing the radio with a good aftermarket one soon, its probably a better idea if you like your CD's also...

I recommend a aftermarket head unit As you can see, the 6 disks are plagued with problems. And a aftermarket unit has more options and features

Re: 2001-2003 CD-6 Factory Head Unit
The disc error is a big problem in the Focus's as well..
----------
I have a good working 6-disc from my focus if anybody knows if it would fit? I have no way of checking now..

Yeah, I know how bad those CD-6 units are. My 2004 CD-6 head unit quit working. (just the CD player)
The aftermarket units do have more options but I just want to go with the stock look. I would buy a double din stereo if I could get it for under 100 bucks, but I know that's not very likely.

Yeah, I've seen those MACH head units ... they look really nice, but I bet they're hard to find.
Can you ask some members over on R-F if they have one for sale since I'm banned from the site?

theyre actually not that hard to find...a lot of rangers came with them including mine...i think most of the higher end XLTs and FX4s have them
