Im about to switch my stock MACH 460 Premium electronic AM/FM stereo cassette and CD Player which is a two peice unit to the newer Mach 460 AM/FM stereo with an in-dash 6-disc .
The reason for the swap is to get away from having two units in the car. The way it's set up now with the two units is a real pain trying to get CD's in as the CD unit sits so dam low behind the shifter. I also have no use for the cassette player in the top unit.
I like the fact that I can have 6 CD's in the new unit and it looks
much cleaner. I got the new unit at a great price so unless doing the swap is complicated and costly then its a done deal.
Im wondering if anyone has done this and what is involved. I've read that the newer unit also have a built in amp where the old set up has the amp under the front of the dash.
I know I would need to change the center trim panel and also order the 3 toggle swithes for the trim pannel. Is there something else I should know before I start this job.
Here is the new unit setup.
Here is the two units that need to be removed
