Has anyone had this?I would like a flip screen just because they are nice looking. But anyway im new here so i dont know much about audio and such so please hepl me out.
Thanks

 

I would not buy it. Dual is a cheap brand and it's only $299 for a reason. Go with a better brand like Pioneer, Alpine, or Kenwood. Are you stuck on having a flip out screen? Have you looked into the fixed screens which look great. I have one in my car.

 

i like double dins alot more then the flip outs like blkstang said dont cheap out on it..the sound quality will suck ***.

 

That kenwood screen looks awesome.

 

It's a great unit, plus it's under $500. ipod hookup so you have all your music and movies at your fingertips and has the optional nav support if you want add that later on. You can also add the bluetooth which is only like $120 or so. It's a great unit though. Easy install too.

 

I cant install the one that you have 00blk because mine is a 2000 and dosnt have the new radio that ford did in 2001

 

Yeah you can. Mines a 2000 as well. You just need to get the trim piece for 01-04 and be a little crafty. Didn't take me long to do mine.

 

ok so where can i get it from? Is it hard to do?

 

The trim piece? You can get it at a Ford dealership. The install is pretty easy. You will notice on your trim piece now, there are 2 screws holding the trim on. Its where the trim is splitting up the two radio pieces. Those tabs behind their need to be cut and that will give you the double din opening. Once you start doing it, you'll see what you need to modify a bit.

 

ok thanks

 

if u do buy any flip screen dont open and close it everytime u step in and out of the car
those motors are known for going bad especially if u take a lot of short trips
