Hey guys,
I've got the option to get my hands onto an LS XR5 head unit to replace the standard one in my wife's LS Zetec. Does anyone know of any compatibility issues between the 2 or should it be just a plug in job? any info from someone who's done this would be great. thanks...

Is that the sony one? I'd assume it's all plug and play, but you don't get the better speakers so not too sure how much of a difference it would make.

I believe the harness is different to those made by the SA's.
The XR5 have a big square harness - It is really not a bigger to hardwire it yourself.

thanks guys.
what i was really after with this head unit was the 6 stacker cd player (and the improved look of the sony unit), as long as the functionalty won't be lost from the controls behind the steering wheel!
