any pics of fold out screen in a 2001 cobra?
I dont have any pics of a flip up screen in an 01 up, but I don't think it would look that good.. being that they have a huge double din opening. the 00 and earlier mustangs are a different story because they have two single din openings, and a single din flip up will fit without an install kit.
But I think having the double din opening is beautiful because you can install a double din screen that looks factory.. instead of having some goofy screen pop out in front of your heater controls and vents.
Here's some pics of the first install I did of a double din head unit in an 01-up V6 mustang when I was working at a car audio shop. It was done about 4 years ago when kenwood first came out with the double din screens. They are much much nicer now. The point is, it looks FACTORY!!!!
Enjoy!

Is it possible to remove the factory amp and put an aftermarket amp in the same amp rack? I would like to upgrade my speakers in the future, but would like to put the amp in the factory location where it's hidden.
You bet! There are quite a few full range amps that are about the same size as the factory ones. While a single 4 channel probably won't fit, you could fit dual two channel amps up in there. And the best part is that you can use all the factory wiring. Most full range amps have " line level" or "speaker level" inputs in addition to RCA's. So, what you do is buy the metra amp bypass harness and cut it in half. Use the one side to hook up to the line level inputs of the amp, and use the other side to hook up to the speaker outputs from the amp. That way, it's a plug and play deal, and you don't have to cut any of the ford factory wiring. you can even use the amp signal wire that's already back to turn on the amps without running a separate one from the head unit. You could use the existing main power wire, but I'd recommend running a separate 8 gauge wire just to make sure they have enough juice.

IUP99snake, I'm driving up to Orlando when it comes time to install a stereo. I already have an aftermarket head unit. I'm clueless when it comes to stereos. :??:
