ReplacementRadios, one of the largest factory audio/video websites, has branched out!! If you?ve been to our site, you know we have a HUGE selection of OEM radios and compatible accessories. Now we?re offering a few select products here too. Same great ReplacementRadios quality.....in a new location. DETAILS This is a female plug for replacing the factory radio in select 1998+ Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles with an aftermarket. (If you need the opposite version, check our store for FDW-RP16. Item 374368604566.) Wiring pigtails of approximately 6 inches are attached. This would be used if your original plug is still intact and you don't want to cut or splice your factory wiring. The professionals use a plug like this! Don't be a hack and cut your factory plug off. That just makes it a pain to replace the radio when you go to sell the vehicle... This was the main 16-pin plug offered by Ford in the vehicles listed, so if you've counted 16 pins on your main connector, chances are, this is the one you need. (Although not all 16-pins will be populated on our plug because aftermarket radios don't require them.) This style of plug was used on most Ford, Lincoln and Mercury radios from 1998-2003 (and newer, in some vehicles). See APPLICATIONS below for examples of vehicles that used this plug, as well as a list of Ford radio engineering (part) numbers known to use this plug style. This plug will have the aftermarket standard wire colors, so wire assignment is easy. (See the standard color chart in the pictures attached to this listing, as the plug packaging will not necessarily include a color chart.) This allows you to mate it to the aftermarket plug that came with your new radio and create a custom adapter. No cutting or splicing your original plug!! Please note: this does not include reverse plugs for the auxiliary input or the factory subwoofer. So options in your vehicle like Sirius satellite radio, aux input plug, Audiophile, Pioneer, Shaker, etc will not be retained with this plug alone. APPLICATIONS Some radio engineering (part) numbers and vehicles known to use this plug are listed here. Other numbers are possible. If you think yours applies but you do not see it listed, please email us before purchasing.
