My display went out as well...I have to try this. This new radio looks better than the last! Thanks!

[@jackash9898]

I thought it was going to be a pain in the ass to change the stereo, thanks for making it clear!!!!

[@dannydoitall3312]

Your welcome and thanks.

[@J-WHO312]

It's good to see younger generation fixing their own cars, also maybe test radio before you put it all back together, never know what you're going to get out of a junkyard. Great video though, keep up the good work.

[@dannydoitall3312]

Thank you very much.

[@GypsyWolf7]

I know very little about cars and just replaced my radio with your help (and my Dad's tools 😊). Thank you! ('06 Fusion)

[@dannydoitall3312]

Awesome, Thank you

[@joedoakes8778]

Excellent Danny. My daughter, Gypsy Wolf, did a great job with no help at all except for your video. Thanks Pal and keep up the good work.

[@dannydoitall3312]

Thank you. I have more work to do on my fusion just have to get it filmed and posted.

[@domenik8339]

Get rid of the fusion before it fails you. My 07 is on it's last dying breath at 150K miles, 5 mechanics later and it's got so many problems it's best use in life is scrap metal.

[@GypsyWolf7]

@@domenik8339 Your timing is crazy... My axle boot has been seeping for over a year and I cant get it fixed due to rust. Gonna junk it next week. Made it 176k miles though. She was good to me.

@Merrick Kent. I have a 2006 Ford Fusion and mine has 378k kms. If you take care of the car it will last a long time. I have the Fusion with the 4 cylinder 2.3 Liter Duratec engine. In my opinion it’s a very good car.

No I have never had that happen. Maybe it is not the original key?

[@SaiyanShinobi]

I just bought my first car from a friend. Turns out the display is dead and has a CD with three songs from 2009 jammed in it. Soooo glad I found this as it's a 2006 fusion 😁 I'm planning on installing something from this decade though as I got a taste of it with my Bluetooth adapter, which is a bitch to tune as there's no display telling me which channel I'm on 😂 So glad it's easier than I thought it would be 👍🏼

[@dannydoitall3312]

Congratulations on getting your first car. The fusions last a long time. Good luck.

[@fatongula3623]

Oh man, I definitely need one of those good working 6 CD players for my Ford Fusion cuz mine doesn’t work, looked everywhere in junkyard, no one has it. Wow this guy got for $15 !!!!! Great job buddy!

Does the bluetooth work on it without replacing the steering wheel? Or do you have to replace the wheel too?

Excellent video!!

Needed to replace this unit in a 2007 ford fusion , thanks for the video it was very helpful , I did not know it would be that easy .

[@dannydoitall3312]

Thank you! Im glad it was helpful!

[@user-qi7cb2st9j]

Hi i want a blue tooth stereo. As have loads of music stored on my phone etc, can you just put any stereo in or does it need to be car model specific?

[@rummimg]

Just bought a random stereo, the wiring harness and antenna adapter. Easier than what you think

[@johnyeong2021]

Heard you replaced your radio for a blank display problem. There is a KZbin video on how to repair it. Almost always a loose solder joint on the resistors. Took me 1/2 hour to fix after watching the video. Search “Ford stereo no display repair” for that video. It’s for a 2008 Ford Edge which uses same radio.

[@jbarnett4194]

Could u explain adding nav backup

[@melissataube3832]

I have cds jammed in mine. How would I get them out?

[@MrPapykeen1980]

i have a question my brotha... do you know if i can get parts from a 2006 fusion into a 2009 fusion? my car burned down because of an accident i had last month... the mechanic that is doing my car said you need to go to a junk yard and get the "engine wiring harness" my ford is a 2009 v6 3.0 SEL......

[@randywatson4870]

Good info Dan!

[@dannydoitall3312]

Thanks Randy more videos on the fusion coming soon.

[@riflecitymark]

Was there any anti-theft code/dealer flashing to be done to make the new/used radio work? We’re looking to pick one up off eBay? Is it just drop and play? Thanks

[@dannydoitall3312]

Yes it's just a plug and play it will run an I initial test when first powered up and that's it.

[@micheleybarra6253]

Helpful video. Thanks. The problem with my 2009 fusion is that the clock light won't work anymore. Do you know if there's a separate fuse for it?

[@Mad-Lad-Chad]

A Year late but there is no separate fuse. However if you look there is a very common issue with solder point failures on these ford radios and its a very easy solder job.

[@rocker2009s]

Great video 👍👍👍

[@ronaldcava5213]

I have a 2007 Ford Fusion and was able to find a stereo from the 2008 . From what you show . It should fit with no problem . Is that correct ?

[@dannydoitall3312]

Hello you probably already did this but it should fit without a problem. Let me know.

[@ryanskinner7683]

Thanks for the video. Did you have to find a replacement radio with the same radio ID?

[@dannydoitall3312]

Hi Ryan I just picked the radio that looked like it was in the best condition and that was also a 6 cd changer. I didn’t match any numbers.

[@brooklynnlouiselle8870]

What size is this display?

[@moni6737]

I have the same car and the 6 disc changer keeps spinning when the car is off (player isn’t working). Can I disconnect it this way to avoid draining the battery? @DannyDoItAll

[@dannydoitall3312]

@Ms. Cohn. The fastest and easiest way would be to look in your owners manual for the radio power fuse and pull it out.

[@MaddDocTV]

Just replaced the battery on my 2008 Fusion but now it seems like there isn’t any power going to radio. Not sure if there’s a radio code or not, any tips?

[@dannydoitall3312]

I know this is a late but if all the plugs are properly connected/battery connections and make sure that the fuse for the radio isn't blown. If it's not then if you have a multimeter check to see that you are getting power to the plug. If you do have power at the plug then the radio may be bad. Hopefully you have resolved this already good luck.

[@Joshoptimus]

Hey Danny, I test drove this exact vehicle at a local used car dealer. It had the same radio. Could you please tell me if it has an auxiliary jack/input plug. I forgot to check. Thanks. Excellent all around video btw

[@dannydoitall3312]

I have the 2006 ford fusion and they do not have the auxiliary input, but in the 2007 and later years they started putting them in the center console storage bin. Thank you

[@waitandhope]

It's not on the radio it's in the center compartment by the shift stick, hidden away. Honestly I'd just get someone to install a modern bluetooth cd player

[@sarahd1824]

@@waitandhope Were you able to install the bluetooth on your own or did you have to go to a mechanic?

[@waitandhope]

@@sarahd1824 I ended up buying a Pioneer FH-S501BT from Best Buy and scheduling them to install it which was included free at the time. They only did it on the weekends so I had to wait awhile. It's great how well it works and was totally worth 99 bucks.

[@sarahd1824]

Sam DeRenzis that’s great! I’ll check out my Best Buy

[@melissacummings5460]

That is not what my 2008 face of the dash where radio is looks like. Mine is silver and larger, It's not the same do I pop the face off like you showed in your video? I wanted to change mine out due to broken CD player. Looks easy except the face/cover is different. Mine has chrome accents on it.

[@dannydoitall3312]

Since your fusion is a 2008 model the procedure should be similar to the one in this video.

[@joedoakes8778]

Nice video, thank you. If I may ask, where did you get the plastic prying tool from?

[@dannydoitall3312]

I bought it a while ago off of Wish but you can get them a lot of places. You could use a thin flat head and cover it with some tape to make sure you don't scratch the trim good luck!

[@joedoakes8778]

Thank you.

What was the bolt you used to unscrew the 4M-0.7 bolts

[@ganster2263]

[@Acanofalconpunch]

@@ganster2263 google 4A0919040C it's the only thing that found to replace mine. Use the green cover for the old bulb and it will fit. Ebay and Amazon sells it.

[@LucidBinks]

I know nothing about cars. Is that the only way to fix it? My stereo (the 08 model) has stopped working completely. No power to stereo or sync technology. Is it a fuse or is it the stereo module itself?

[@dannydoitall3312]

I would check to see if it is a fuse that has blown since you are not getting any power to the stereo. Then make sure that the power is reaching the back of the stereo with a multimeter. If it is and you still aren't getting anything than replace it. You can find cheap used ones in good condition at a salvage yard. Good Luck.

How can i get aux port working

What year fusion do you have? They started putting the aux port inside the center consoles in the 2007 models and up.

Ugh, i had best buy insert radio and i think they pulled cord connecting to driver side speaker now only passanger side works. :| it will cut in and our

Did you ever get the center aux working. I switched to a 2009 from a 2007 everything but the aux seems to be working properly. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

[@modern362]

Can a 2009 ford fusion radio work on a 2007 ford focus

[@dannydoitall3312]

I believe that the dimensions of the radio are similar but the mounting brackets are in different locations so it wouldn't fit right.

[@modern362]

DannyDoItAll I have a 2007 ford focus. Do any newer ford focus or ford fusion radios fit in a 2007 ford focus.

[@dougcrawford5305]

Didn't need programed to work with the car or anything? Certain part number or did you just guess and get lucky? I was under the understanding that it has to be set to work with your car am I wrong?

[@dannydoitall3312]

No I didn’t need to program it. Nor did I look for any specific part number. I just plugged it in and turned it on. I don’t believe these radios need to be programmed.

Hypothetically, if a well meaning husband was trying to fix the CD changer but didn't disconnect the battery first & one of the wires hit metal, throwing a spark, and the car has had a dead battery every morning since, How screwed is the car? Asking for a friendly 😂

[@samanthapancaro9202]

What is the radio code? I need it to reset the radio after I jumped started my car

[@dannydoitall3312]

Hello Samantha I did not need to enter a code for my radio. You can try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery and the radio should reset to the am frequency’s. I hope this helps Good Luck.

[@olenorlandoj230]

I’ve removed many radios and hooked up many systems. Never had to disconnect the negative to put a new radio in though

[@dannydoitall3312]

Hello Orlando, thank you for your comment I disconnect the battery just to be cautious. Anytime I am disconnect wires or harnesses I make sure the battery is disconnected.

[@olenorlandoj230]

DannyDoItAll No problem. Great video btw! Yeah I understand why you do it, I just never have. Been installing systems for over 10 years now. But it’s better to be cautious then not.

It reduces risk of blowing the fuse
