My rear defrost button is lower than that on my current stereo. Is it possible to just wire it to the new spot?

everything should be lined up just right but should just unplug from the old radio and plug into the new one. should be enough wire to move a inch of so. if its more then that then it might not be the right kit for the car. when I bought this for the ford Tor. I found that it was only for that year, and model. what is the difference in distance between the button now and the one on this? be very careful if it looks to far off it prob is not the right kit. a little bit shouldn't be much problem. one good way to tell if its the right kit is to look at the knobs (ac, speed and temp) make sure they are the same order on the kit as they are on the car you have now. there is one I seen that is not in the right order and it wont work out the same as I made the mistake of ordering and trying it. I can no9t remember the year of ours. its gone so can not check. it was 95 or 97 I think. I don't recall. just look at the knobs and read the specs carefully.

yes it is possible my brother in law installed one i got from amazon didnt think it would work but it did and the rear defrost button will work in the new spot. cause taurus radios are usually very square but this one worked just great

If it's for the correct model, yes. I will say that changing the whole unit is really easy to swap out, so maybe that would be the best way to go, especially if you're paying for the whole unit.

No. It is just a compartment to put where the original stereo was. The aftermarket stereo can be put more toward the middle of the dash.

Not the way it comes from the factory. However, the wires are accessible on the back side so you could wire it up to work that way if you wished. Hope this helps!

Kenneth,No you disconnect the factory system, clip these on the outside. Turn the button on the end when you want it in 4WD.Thank you!

Yes you can. The one I replaced was from an 02 model. The wiring diagram was slightly different, but I connected the wires just as they were connected on my original unit and the thermostat functions normally. This unit was a bit different than the original in that the new circuit board had four settings on the 'system' selection function, however, the cover plate will not allow you to select the fourth function.

I'm not sure but I am sure of this you will need a new dash din which is what holds the stereo. Take it to a audio shop to get a pros opinion

I had adjust the harness to accommodate existing wiring. Of you will keep track and mark your incoming speaker wires, front/back and L/R, it's fairly easy. Hope this helps. My original system was installed 2002.

No.Button on outside of unit is used to change temperature.This is done after using internal switch to take unit off of factory set (120)

You would have to remove the stereo from your dashboard, cut the current connections that they have installed, and splice the unit into the system. It would not be difficult for someone who is knowledgeable in car stereo installation.

yes it will. if you happen to buy and install it, there are 2 pins for heated option to plug into. if you don't find a wire assembly, you don't have to worry about it. if you find you do have wiring in the housing, all the better!! mirror heat works with the rear defroster.

Go into "settings" and you can adjust everything from there. I haven't used all the features of this stereo yet.

NO I agree with Fred buy the complete unit. In my case mine was old enough that they were not the same. Just write the color coded wire order before you remove them. Very easy to change.

Yes, I spliced into my car stereo. It's pretty easy as long as you know which one is the hot wire.
