[QUOTE="A K, post: 948192, member: 59480"] You are correct with the plugs. I forgot about the rear radio controls. Ford removed them in 2004. As for the mounting kit/face plate, I went with Scosche because their HU surround is less "chunky" and allows the HU to sit a little bit deeper in the bezel opening. I painted mine to match the factory bezel. I also used the factory track plate (the thing that slides on the bar in the bezel opening). http://www.scosche.com/products/productID/43 [b][Broken External Image][/b]: [As an aside, I did a how-to on an install like this, but I cannot locate the post here. I think it has something to do with the search feature going back only 730 days, and the archive starting in 2006. As such, certain posts are not searchable.] I think the installer gave you the wrong harness. Metra's web site recommends the 70-5517 kit.

And, it'll solve your one versus two RCA's issue. [/QUOTE]
