[QUOTE="hoss, post: 2021869, member: 549860"] nope, no one has gotten it to work in a taurus. i had one that i wanted to try to do it on, but at the price ford asks for a replacement unit [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] . i have seen it work in other vehicles, so it [I]may[/I] be possible, thats a big maybe though... in all honesty, i dont think it would be possible with the way ford designed the unit. it is, but you have to really be on top of your electronics engineering, and you have to have a good grasp of integration and re-wiring the module. like i said before, it might be possible, but i really dont think it is. the way mine was made (G4), the pannel with the controls and the radio was a big circuit board with the "brains" being housed right behind the radio part of the piece. that would make it VERY difficult to delete the radio portion, note, difficult, not impossible [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] . but again, you would have to be pretty on top of it, and know how to re-wire the entire piece. how big of a task this is [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] . take your stereo/AC controls out and take a look at them. study them. learn the piece front and back, take note of what it looks like, invision what you are going to have to do, then ask yourself if you still think its possible and if so is it possible for yourself to do. then go to [URL="http://www.taurusclub.com"]http://www.taurusclub.com[/URL] and talk to them about it. its not a new topic over there, they can offer some great insight and good suggestions. its long been discussed, and still no one that i know of has made it work yet, and that taurus forum has some VERY intelligent people on it. honestly, i would suggest not taking on a project like this. if you mess up once, you are out alot of money. you are better off learning to fiberglass, and altering your dash. or even better yet, doing a conversion from digital to rotary knobs. still not very easy, but by far easier than custom electrical circuit modification [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
