Unless you already have the Ford Cd player, I would keep the one you have. You will probably end up paying more for one of those CD players than an aftermarket one. How come you want to switch? I know I bought a Kenwood that I like, but it's silver and kind of does not blend in as nice as the factory one did.

In my 93 I have the "Top of the line" for that year, but no CD. How do you set the time?

i have not powered it up yet but i like the days of a volume knob so that when your driving you did not have to take your eyes off the road. the ford one doesn't have a knob either but the up and down buttons are easy to distinguish from other buttons.that is why i am leaning on going with the ford radio.

i went and got this one because it had the 2 knobs. looks kinda retro in those respects.

also the knob volume and knob tuner is really easy and convenient

i actually bought some old alpines off of e-bay like 6 months ago one is a cd player and the other cassete .i think these were alpines best models because they had the knob for the volume.unfortunately they are both pullouts and did not come with the casings.these new alpines are ugly i like the old square buttons that light up in green and match the ford electronics.
