I have an 07 explorer sport trac and it came with the single cd changer. I bought a new 6-disc radio from replacementradios.com and when I installed it...there are a couple of problems...1. when you turn the key off, the radio is supposed to stay on for 10 mins or so unless you open a door. As soon as you turn off the key, the 6-disc radio goes off (the original worked properly)...2. When you turn on the headlights, the radio lights do not come on...so you cant see what button to push....the original radio lights did come on. The unit plays cds and the radio fine. This is a factory Ford radio and is not an aftermarket part...Part number is 6e5t-18c815-ah

So, some are telling me it needs an unlock code, some are saying it needs to be taken to the dealer and programmed. Some ford dealers are saying they have no idea....

Hopefully, someone on here will know what to do!

The radio was new, so while it is possible it is broken from the factory, I doubt it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

 

i work on cars for a living sounds to me like the messed up or there is a wiring problem
