Audio Systems: uninstalling a factory stereo, factory stereo, mechanical functions


Question
hey there i would like to replace the factory stereo on my 01 mustang its just the normal type.. will that affect in any way the electronic or mechanical functions in my car ...thanks for your help

Answer
Not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if the stock head unit is interconnected with other components or systems of the Mustang?

Probably not - unless you have one of the models where the radio controls are integrated into the steering wheel.

Here is an 8 page exhibit of a Mustang very similar to yours:

It will show you how to remove the unit from the dashboard.  Also, if you are planning to install an aftermarket unit the diagrams can help you with that installation.

Hope this helps, but ask more questions if I didn't understand your concerns clearly enough.
