SUMMARY NEW Factory (OEM) Ford CD radio drive NOT a listing for a radio A GREAT way to replace a CD mech that: Won't play Won't load Won't eject Makes noises NOT compatible with CD6 or navigation radios Works in some Pioneer manufactured Ford/Mercury radios Match your drive to our pictures PCB part number on green board is CNP5170-A Make sure this matches yours! Found on the green board on the bottom of the drive Check to see that your drive is the one pictured There were other incompatible styles So read the ad carefully Radio MUST be unplugged for 60 minutes Before it is opened DETAILS Some 1998+ Ford CD/Cassette radios manufactured by Pioneer 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 CNP5170-A drive for the RDS CD/Cassette radio in your 1998+ Ford 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 brand new CD drive mechanism (mech). This was used in Pioneer manufactured Ford CD/Cassette radios with the RDS feature, at a minimum. This is NOT guaranteed to be compatible with Visteon, Sanyo 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 or you're risking wasting money. 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 1998-2002, at a minimum. It is NOT guaranteed to work in Sanyo, Delco, or Visteon manufactured radios. Make sure your drive matches the part number provided (CNP5170-A). This number is found on the green board on the bottom of the drive, as pictured in the listing. ABOUT US: We are NOT a salvage yard. We are NOT affiliated with a salvage yard.
