Any idea if the factory stereo/CD player from an 06 Mustang would be plug & play in my 06 P71?

A factory 2006 Ford Focus 6 disk changer replaced the AM/FM in my 2006 F-250 Super Duty as completely plug and play.  

Radio of this vintage...

I was outside so I snapped an "after" pic. Was a great $20 value from a JY. I was there for AC controls for a Focus and the Focus only had 45k miles and had been in the yard only 2 weeks.

Looking at those pics, that’s a much larger radio than the P71. I think it’s just double DIN size. I’ll check the Mustang ones & hopefully they’re the same size. 

Edit:

Google shows the Mustang stereo is similar to yours from a Focus, while the P71 has this one. It looks about 1/2” shorter in total height to me?

Go to Crutchfield and see if both cars require the same aftermarket instal kit

Thanks! Sadly they don’t share either the harness or mount kit. 

I think Crutchfield May need to qualify their reps a bit more thoroughly though...

I think yours might be DIN 1.5. An odd size.

Crutchfield shows a 2-DIN unit will fit without a new center console face, so I wonder if the Mustang unit is a 2.5?

Mustang is a big bigger than 2-Din. If you want something cheap, there are a ton of cheap Android-based touchscreen head units with volume knobs floating around Wish for $40 or so. From what I hear, they're worth a shot.

That’s probably what I’ll end up doing, eventually, in like 2 or 3 years if I still have it. I just had access to a couple free stock Mustang head units & figured if it was p&p I’d do that.

Not to derail the conversation, but what about just wiring in an aux jack and then cobbling up some kind of holder for an iPhone/android device in the vacant space?
