Response:

Your rear seat controls will not work if you install an aftermarket radio. I would suggest looking on ebay for an identical used radio, assuming your radio is not under warranty. Jeff

Response:

The CD in my 2000 Explorer Sport is working only intermittently so I’m thinking of replacing it with an aftermarket unit.  If I do that, will I continue to have support for the rear seat audio controls?  Any brand or model recommendations for direct replacement? The OEM radio is the base AM/FM single CD.  Would another alternative be to add a changer and just not use the in-dash loader?  Thanks for any advice or recommendations. Regards, Steve Read
