How do you change the radio on a Ford Escape?

You’ll need a set of DIN tools to remove the original radio — you poke these U-shaped tools into the front of the Ford radio and it’ll pop right out. A harness is also available that lets you connect the new car stereo without having to cut off the plug that connected to the Ford radio.

How big is the stereo system on a Ford Escape?

The large current draw of a “big” stereo is not a good thing for the hybrid system, so make sure you don’t exceed a 30-amp current draw or 350-watt RMS power rating. The base system centered around an AM/FM/cassette/CD receiver through 2003, then switched over to an AM/FM receiver with a built-in 6-disc CD changer in 2004.

What kind of entertainment system does Ford Escape have?

The Escape came with two entertainment options: the base system and the Mach system. The options changed a little from 2001 to 2007, but in general the Mach system added an amplifier, a subwoofer built into the rear side panel, and (starting in 2004) tweeters in the front doors.

What kind of subwoofer do I need for a Ford Escape?

The factory sub is a dual 1.3-ohm voice coil model, so you’ll lose a lot of volume if you replace it with a DVC sub with a higher impedance. If you’re going to go in that direction, you should also replace the sub’s amplifier. You’ll find several custom-fit subwoofer choices for the Ford Escape from MTX and JL Audio.

Can you replace the radio in a Ford Escape?

Replacing the radio in the Mach system is just about the same as with the basic system, but the amplifier in the upgraded system adds a couple of wrinkles.
