There is so much knowledge and experience here but why hasn't someone done a write up on how to fix the FM band problem in the stock radio? I have a Marauder head unit in my CV sport and I want to keep it in there, unfortunately last night I lost FM, CD still worked. I understand its a solder problem. If someone can point in the right direction I'd be glad to fix it myself.

Upgrade to and Escape or Mainer Head Unit.

No one has done it because you can't get to the area affected. I'd just get the Escape unit. It's much better than the original.

Thats a same, everything is repairable! I thought about the escape radio but the Marauder radio looks like the original that came out of my sport. On a side note FM started working again for me so I guess I have a little longer with it.

Pull it out and send it to United Radio. They can fix it. Google them, they have two locations, one north, one south. Mine did the same thing, but I prefer Sirius so I am just using that through the tape player. Have been for a few years now.

Ford Audiophile unit to replace stock MM.

Runs the factory sub and there is no need for the stock changer as the audiophile system has an integrated 6-disc unit. Everything is right at your fingertips including steering wheel control function.

And, it plays mp3s. I wrote an instructable on how to properly make an mp3 disk that is compatible.
