You would have to go through the dealer I am sure. As far as cost, call them or goto the ford motors website, start the build and price and when you get to the options it will say how much they are. I am sure the dealer will charge that amount or close to it

It's built into alot of aftermarket stereo's and not available for 2005 so I can say that you can either have the electronics and control features built into a Kenwood for 300 bucks or have a Ford aftermarket system built "on", not "in" for much much more. Anything that's Ford Approved will have the ugly "Hertz" type add on reciever... "f'ugly" bolted to the dashboard. Look at any Hertz rent-a-car and you'll know of what I speak. Buy a nice aftermarket stereo, get yourself Sirius radio (other options)and a buttload of ways to expand your system later if you want to for a whole lot less money. I've never considered ANY original equipment radio to be worth its weight in feces.

Chevy has me sold through their advertising for On-Star though. I won't be the first Ford tech at my dealership driving a new Chevy when the time comes for me to buy a new car. Just look closelely at your options. All makes will limit what you can get in some way.

Ohhh! And...Do Not Cut Factory wires or plugs. There's always a harness connector to make it work with easy wiring on the new radio side of the plug. You never know how foul a dealer technician will cry when they see even one cut wire in a stereo system, even if it has nothing to do with what you brought your car in for. They'll blame a bulb out in your instrument panel on faulty stereo wiring and charge you 200 bucks to pull the panel. Don't cut wire in your car.
