SUMMARY NEW Factory (OEM) Ford CD6 radio drive NOT a listing for a radio Manufactured for Ford by Pioneer Very hard to find!! A GREAT way to replace a CD6 mech that: Won't play Won't load Won't eject Makes noises NOT compatible with single CD or navigation radios Does not play MP3 format audio files If you have FOLDER on presets, it's wrong for you Works in some Pioneer manufactured Ford radios Match your drive to our pictures Drive is manufactured by Pioneer Part number is YL2F-18C821-A_ Interchanges w/ same # ending in AA-AZ Make sure one of these matches yours! Does NOT work in radios after 2003 A shipping bracket will be included Although style may vary from the picture Check to see that your drive is the one pictured There were other incompatible styles Yours must have the 6 slots in the top As seen in our last picture Radio MUST be unplugged for 60 minutes Before it is opened DETAILS Ford CD6 radios are known for CD drive problems. Don't let a defective radio keep you from enjoying your vehicle. Get your replacement CD mechanism from ReplacementRadios. If you're in need of a YL2F-18C821-A_ drive for the CD6 radio in your Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle because of CD Error messages, Bad Disc messages, noisy operation, or basic load and eject problems, you've come to the right place. This is a new CD drive mechanism (mech). Taken from an assembly line leftover radio we had in such quantity, we knew we would never sell them all. Since the drive works in multiple radios, we removed it. This was used in Pioneer manufactured Ford CD6 radios from @2000 to very early 2003. This is NOT compatible with Sanyo, Panasonic or Delco manufactured Ford radios. We have provided pictures of the drive AND the part number. It is in your best interest to make sure this is the drive you have because there are multiple other versions. Yours must have the 6 slots in the top (for the shipping bracket), as seen in our last pic. Instructions for installation or removal are not included. If you do not feel comfortable attempting this replacement or are not qualified to perform the replacement you should seek an electronics shop that will do it for you or ask us about sending it in for us to do it. We can tell you that you MUST disconnect the negative battery terminal (or remove the plugs from the back of the radio) and let it sit for at least 60 minutes BEFORE you attempt to do any work on the radio. Failure to do so can result in a short within the radio. We've had many reports of it from people who ignored this caution. Don't be one of them!! APPLICATIONS Ford used four radio manufacturers and all the parts were different for each. This drive was used in some (but not all) Pioneer radios from @2000-2003 (very early only). It does NOT work in Panasonic, Delco, or Sanyo manufactured radios. Make sure your drive matches the part number provided (YL2F-18C821-A_). It can be found stamped on the top of the drive.
