The inside of a Ford Taurus.... I can't see any way to get an aftermarket head unit in there.

Note: I have no need to do this. I'm just wondering

its fully integrated which makes it supper difficult. Only way i see it is to make a new fiberglassed panel and then re wire the ac/heat somehow..idk though. Seems real hard.

I think companies will actually make adapters with AC Controls already attached and then they just leave a slot for the new deck.

This is why OEM integration is so big. If you noticed when steve did his ISF he used his factory head unit and Fosgates new unit that does line level conversion and is tuneable by laptop.

+1 on the OEM integration.

For starters, most people who buy new cars don't care for audio.

Second, anyone that does have the cash for new cars will have enough for the "premium" option (which is $1000 or more for some crappy 8" sub and some crappy factory amp)

Only good factory system I know of is the mustang's shaker 1000 which is 2 10's and supposedly sounds pretty good.

I wouldn't really want an expensive car to get rattled apart anyway.

It also depends on how it looks BEHIND the dash bezel.

As far as the pic up top, it looks like a standard single DIN would fit in there but then the controls...are they attached to one unit, or buttons that are separate from it?

Where there is a will, there is a way.
