Hey gang, I am looking for a stock AM/FM CD player unit for our 99 F250 pickemup truck. Anyone ahve one that WORKS and that they want to let go of or a reasonable price?
Someone replaced the stock unit in our truck with an aftermarket unit with all the blinking lights and the detachable flip down face, and a remote control.I hate it. Too much folderall for my taste.
Maybe a swap ?

93 CobraThanks Mike!! As soon as the truck gets home I will try and peek under the dash to see what I can see! Chances are, with the aftermarket unit that's in there the plugs are missing.. I hope not!
Truth be told, it's a little more than I had planned on spending, trying to keep out of the dog house, but what the hell, it's "His truck"... right?

Hey Mike, I showed it to hubs... he said "nope" didn't want to $pend the bucks on it.
what a stick in the mud. Suppose I'll just have to sneek one in on him another time.

Hubs drives a hard bargain does he??? Well letmesee. Maybe I can find one or say nine more to confuse you. Stick these in your "My ebay" and keep watch. Most, if not all should fit, but double check. NOW lets see Hubs excuse. :-0 Good Luck

LMAO! Thanks Mike...
He is such a tightwad when it comes to his own rig. Anything anything needs to be done to it, I am the one who has to take the initiate. I can't figure that one out. I will keep an eye on these, and maybe this weekend will get a look at the plugs inside to know what I am looking for.
again, thanks :)
Oh hey, how do you do that tiny url thing? That's hecka cool!

Kate,
Hopefully when the aftermarket unit was installed they used an installation harness which allows for a plug-n-play install. All you'd have to do is unplug the aftermarket unit, plug in the factory unit and slide it in. Keep your fingers crossed :-)
...somebody is starting to develop the Tennessee way of talkin' :-)

1993 BMW 525iUhh... hecka cool... I got from Kristen when she was 16! The truest example of Valley girls.
The scoop on the tiny url thing is thus: Go to
Look under the bold "Add TinyUrl to your browser's toolbar". Click (and hold) on the "TinyUrl" link, and drag it to your Links toolbar and let go.
That will put a TinyUrl button on your Links toolbar
(If you don't see a Links Toolbar, On your IE Menu bar, go to View | Toolbars...and select 'Links'.)
Go to a page you want use...click on the TinyUrl button on your Links bar. It will create a tinyurl page AND copy it to your clipboard, which you can then paste into a message. It will also redirect to a tiny url page with the same info.
Apologies if I stepped >LMAO!
Nifty, but it won't work for some reason.
If it doesn't let you drag the hyperlink to your Link toolbar, you can also try dragging it to your Favorites...that works too.
Or does the TinyUrl button on your Link toolbar not work? If thats it, it's probably your browser's javascript, or maybe you have a popop blocker...or your security settings don't allow it.
Thanks Dinsdale. I dont think you could have stepped on any toes, you were just helping :)

When I drag it up there and get to the Links bar, the only one that it shows the sign of letting me drop the link; when I drop it I get the "dong" ooops sound and no button appears.
I changed all my security settings to max high and couldn't get it to not work. But I well know how finicky IE can be....You are using Internet Explorer?
Your security settings may be set high...to lower it , go to Tools | Interent Options....click on the Security tab and change to Default level.
Here's a few more things to try:
- Right-click on the TinyUrl! link...then select 'Add to Favorites...' on the Add Favorite window..Create in 'Links'
- Right-click a blank area on the links bar and uncheck 'Lock the Toolbars' and try dragging it there again. See if you can drag any link to the Links bar. If you can...then it seems like your browser might not like Javascript (the TinUrl! is javascript). If you can't drag anything there...well I just don't know...Install Netscape ;)
If nothing worked, then you'll just have to do it the manual way...copy the url address of the page you want to 'tiny-fy'....go to
Geez...so much crap to try to get some tiny thing to work. heh-heh
Worked like a champ for me! Drug it and dropped it just like you said (of course, I do that all the time to my links menu) and made my very own little tiny url!

Bueno.
It helps to sell things if people can SEE them!
You have GOT to be kidding. People still use that crap?? Which pretty much moots the rest of your reply, thanks for including the info anyway. LOL On an up note, when I went to the page it knew that I had Mozilla because all the pictures matched.
Well...what worked and what didn't?...that should define what's crap and what's not. ;)
No, to me crap is defined as the most insecure web browser available which not able to be secured. That's a quote. I'm sure it can be done if I asked an expert, but if it comes to having a special URL button or the better security and fewer bugs of Mozilla I'll keep my Netscape :-D
