Replace double din radio with a normal sized one - McP
I am after some advice on changing a double din Ford Puma Radio/CD to a standard sized one.

One of SWMBO work colleagues had her car broken into and the Ford one stolen
As there is a market for these, she has decided that a non-Ford one would be better.

Having replaced many radios, I have been volunteered to fit the new one.
I have never worked with any of the newer Fords and won't have the chance to see it before doing it.

The replacement facia has been sourced and I guess that some adapter cables will be required.

Is it just a case of fitting the cage supplied with the new radio or are there any more things I need to consider?

Thanks
Ian

you seem to have it covered
halfords for the ford to iso leads if buyer is rich? £12.99 ish
ebay is much cheaper if they are in no rush.
i guess it was the coloured front of the puma radio that got the thieves to steal it, these are worth nearly £100 s/h still
