04 Cobra headunit replacement

[DeMartino17]

Ok so I know there is a million threads but I can't find a consistent answer. I am looking for a head unit and the wiring harness I would need to retain all of the stock mach 460 setup and just change out the head unit..What exactly do i need?

Here is what I used and it worked:

Metra 95-5026 In-dash Receiver Kit Fits select 2001-up Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models — double-DIN radios at Crutchfield.com

Axxess AFDI-5V 12-volt to 5-volt converter — eliminates the turn-on "thump" in Ford-built vehicles with amplified systems at Crutchfield.com

I recommend all but the last item...lol 20 dollars? You can go to radio shack and get a 12-5v for way cheaper. Might not look like that but functions the same way.

What was the part number for the wiring harness for the 03 Cobra. I picked up a 70-5521 and a 70-5519 and neither work.

I just did this on my 04 last week! These are the parts I ordered through amazon. Worked like a charm. Make sure you get a parking brake bypass too if you're installing a touch screen. I couldn't just ground mine so I paid $20 for the bypass on amazon too.
