I am replacing the receiver in my ’98 LX. This makes the factory player in the lower din useless. I’d like to take the factory CD player out and replace it with a mould or insert that fits in there and creates a little cubby hole. I have called the local Ford dealer to ask if there is a factory part to fill this empty slot but they didn''t know and couldn''t find a part. I know that there Mustangs out there that were shipped without the lower slot filled, I''ve seen them. These Mustangs have a cubby hole there and I can''t remember if this hole is an insert or if it is built into the entire dash board mould.

If anyone out there can point me to a website that has this piece PLEASE let me know.

Thanks,
Eric

That would be the utility box. Same item that I removed from my 94 Sable when I added a factory CD player. I still have the utility box in my garage. Not sure if they mount the same between the 94 Sable and the 98 Mustang. Here is a picture that you can take to your local Dealer so that they can find it. It is item #9 in the PIC. They''''ll probably retail price it at about $50+.
