Transit Stereos: what do you have

Postby millertime_1985 » Wed May 07, 2008 6:50 pm

Been looking to replace my transits radio...
(bidding on a Ford Traffic 6006e)

when i first got my van it had a Blaupunkt Radio/Cassette (very dirty) with a fill in panel...

in 2005 i replaced the radio with another Radio/Cassette a Ford Traffic 2000


im just wondering what you have... and is it any good...?

Pioneer radio cassette, good enough to get Virgin round town and to hear talking books out on the road. I don't really do massive ICE installs.

I won an RDS6000 CD on ebay from a focus - fitted straight in and sounds great through the speakers! :D

Original Ford 2001 Radio only

Sounds crappy but it will do until I can be bothered to fit another one.

I had one of these in my 1996 Transit :!: (still got it :lol: (in the shed))

You're right about the sound :!:
It has a control where if you turn it one way, you get the treble and no bass, or you turn the other way and get the bass, but no treble :x :twisted: :evil:

Soon sorted that one out :!: :o
There was a quiet afternoon in the shop one day, which resulted in a small "push in" switch being fitted that works as a "loudness" button that overides the control and gives full bass and treble at the same time :!: :D :D

PUKKA :!: 8) :lol:

An original Ford Cd player can't remember the model but does exactly what i need, just need to link it up to my spare Amp

I bought it from a fellow user on this forum not long after i bought the MK6
