Wanted: Stock Radio, Ford E450

First, my apologies for doing what ended up being a "for sale/wanted" post here.

But it worked out very good I think.

Bought a slightly used BOSS radio from a member here at a good price.

It looks to be a "plain radio" with a USB and aux input.

It is not installed yet but should be soon.

Last Sunday I was at our area Good Will store. They had a stock Ford CD radio for $5.00, a steal of a deal. They have a nice return policy too. If it doesn't work, you get a full refund.

Let us know how it went. I have the "RV Radio" that came with our 2005 E450 and I'd like to swap it out for something a little more up to date e.g. Bluetooth or at least a USB for connecting a MP3 player....

Thanks to all who responded to this thread.
I have a couple of hot prospects and am communicating with them directly.
No further offers are necessary.

I have a BOSS 802UA model wired for my recently sold E350. If you would like to plug it in and try it out for suitability, let me know. It is brand new and only tested to check wiring.

500 CD's would easily fit on one Nano USB. It would cost $10. You could decorate with your CD's.

Look up 1factoryradio2 on Ebay. They have original Ford radios with a combination of cd player, as well as cassette player, and have been modified with an MP3 plug. I bought one from them for my 2008 Ford E-450. I am old school and believe it or not, I still have cassette players. I also use the MP3 plug to use my IPOD player. It was refurbished, so it is not that expensive

This is the response that I got from stergo@charter.net

"If you have a AM/FM radio the cd radios that came in a 2015 will not work in a 2015 that came with am/fm the radios or a different system so you have to go back to about a 2012 radio that would be the same style as the am/fm in a 2015 the radio would have to be coded to the vin to work for us to come up with that radio coded plug and play have been running in the $400 price range when we can find them there not easy to find since they were not sold as a up grade them means they only came in the vehicle and there were no extras other then Ford parts as replacement and going threw parts run twice as much as going threw the Ford Radio Q1 service center. I can check around if you like."

we have not been able to find one with a plug that will fit.

Any good car audio shop, maybe even Best Buy, should have an adapter or harness that will convert.
