Hey everyone. Does anyone know if a factory cassette stereo from a 1995 mustang will fit in a fox body mustang that originally has premium sound?

Short answer: no


Long answer, you would need to convert the 87-92 radio setup over to a 1993 Premium setup with amp to use the 93+ JBL made head premium head units. To fit the 95 radio, you would need to swap the radio face over to one with the squared edged, and swap on the lower plate that allows you to bolt up the storage cubby.

1993 Premium sound stereo into 87-92 Mustang : Install thread

No real questions here, just a thread to document what i've learned in this little project of mine. There is very little info on the net regarding this, i mostly had to peice info together that now seems very straightforward now from sources on the internet. I chose to install a 1993 OEM CD...

Thank you for the reply. Wow, that is a lot of work. I had thought it be a plug and play. My mustang is a '90, It does not have the amp that is underneath the passenger side seat. Would that make a difference?

The amp in a 1990 is behind the radio.

Let’s take a step back here. Do you have a photo of the radio you want to use? Do you have a pic of the reverse where the plugs go? Would like to see if it’s a premium or non-premium head unit.

So that is a premium head unit.

You do need the 1993 amp system to use that radio, in addition to swapping the face place and tray.

It’s also missing the shorting plug on the back, so it won’t work without it. (Post 6 in the link above)
