Title: Installing 2-DIN audio unit in a Scorpio '95
Post by 98Cossie_in_Norway on Sep 9^th, 2011, 9:41am

Hello forum friend’s fordscorpio.co.uk.

Thanks for a very helpful and good page.

I’m a mid aged (50) Norwegian Ford enthusiast, owner of four beautiful German Fords. I’ve just has been member of your forum as “98Cossie_in_Norway”.
Se my cars at http://www.jorgen.tronderford.com(Tronder- for the Norwegian “Trøndelag”, a county in the middle of Norway).
Please also have a look at pictures from our annual gatherings at: http://www.tronderford.com
I’m very satisfied with my ’98 Ghia Cosworth, now with milage 85000 km, but this satisfaction does not include the 6000 CD audio unit.
I’ve already bought a Kenwood DNX5280BT, a 2-DIN GPS navigation/ audio unit. It’s known that the 6000CD isn’t a 2-DIN standard, but only with small differences.

Does anybody of my Scorpio-friends have experiences with such a installation? And what am I going to do to get the unit properly and nice installed?

I’ve also learned that an adapter: http://www.acb.no/Details.asp?ProductID=2527with wire set:http://www.acb.no/Details.asp?ProductID=2558will include the steering column remote control in the audio system. Anyone with this experiences?

With regards
Jørgen

Hello Jørgen

Welcome to Ford Scorpio, You have some very nice fords ;D

Which type of audio unit do you currently have fitted? (5000RDS , 7000RDS?)

The Double Din units can be made to fit the dash, you need to trim the plastic on the bottom edge of the audio surround.

If you send a private message to Baz, hes fitted the double din radios in the past
