Quick radio question

[Hauser717]

Needing to replace the stock radio and I've seen discussions on both the Audiophile and the Mach 300 radios. So the question is, if I found both for sale at the same time, which should I pick and why?

The Audiophile is a plug-n-play. Not sure about the Mach 360

I just installed Mach 30 from a Ford Explorer Works great just plugs in but
you lose the tape. Check past threads there are a bunch of suggestions
on which ones to buy and which ones to stay away from. specify which
model number you want and call your local salvage yard. If you can't find the
right thread let me know , I made copies of all the listings. good luck
