Just did this part swap on my wife’s escape and this video was an absolute gem. Thank you 1000 times

[@kylemasiero8346]

Hey just a question did it just plug in and play? Or did you need to do some programming on the eBay unit you installed? Just curious before I buy one on eBay I’m assuming as long as the part numbers match it should just be a straight swap and no programming needed. Thanks

[@jtoeps]

@@kylemasiero8346 hey man! Just straight plug and play. Was super easy, very straight forward. I know some models have 3 plugs in the back and some only have 2, so just make sure the part number matches and you should be able to do this in a couple hours. Best of luck!

[@RareRapVideoz]

Did you have no audio at all? Hoping to replace mine and plug in and play lol

[@w1lkone]

This video helped me tremendously when I had to change the radio in my Ford Escape. I never would have known where all the screws were and what to pry off. Thanks to you, I was able to do the whole job easily without a hitch. Thank you! 🙏

[@SpaceSavage]

Simple and straightforward. Thanks man!

[@KaiPerez-xk9cd]

Thank you

[@zoeorlich5445]

Thank you so much!! This helped us so much ! With your videos we installed and took it out in under 30 minutes both times! Keep up the good work!! Cant thank you enough!!!

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Glad it helped!

[@RareRapVideoz]

Dumb question but is the part with the cd thing considered the audio control module?

[@StormdriverOne]

Not a good enough description of the antenna removal. I've got two on mine and no amount of pushing on that little tab will release them.

[@amandag5132]

If I unplug the power to the cd player, will the radio and GPS system still work

[@amandag5132]

The eject mode is stuck and it keeps running and trying to eject. I just want it to stop.

[@calvinator56]

Where did you get the radio for the ford escape

[@jtoeps]

Not OP, but I just bought one on eBay for ~$100 dollars. Ill come back to this comment after install and let you know how it went.

[@danielleee3201]

@@jtoepshow did it go and what model do you have?

[@jtoeps]

@@danielleee3201 2015 Escape SE. it worked like a charm!! Took about an hour and a half to swap it out and completely fixed my audio issues.

[@botanicalzyt6507]

Ford motor co absolute rats for that 7mm bolt like wtf lol

[@johnmccolgan-k5y]

2014 escape is not the same

[@Luke-qu2hv]

Agree do not buy the android /carplay unit - mine broke after a month. Complete garage.

[@danielleee3201]

did you replace it with something else?

[@basim733224806]

Do not replace yours genuine one with this Android unit. Android system will break down after 2 years. They are not recommended by Chicago technician community.
