It perfectly matches the colors of the lights in HVAC.

Works, fits great, LED colors in HVAC controls are much cooler (bluer, not better) than factory originals. and the rear window defrost button and airbag indicator are just a lot brighter and uglier than the originals. It would be great if you took some time for aesthetics. But in terms of functionality, all the cables are there, it fits perfectly and the installation couldn't be easier.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Works and looks good, not as easy to install as I thought

I have a Taurus 07 and needed to replace a factory stereo that no longer worked. CDs are no longer ejected. Anyway I got a nice Kenwood from Revain and bought this kit to install it. Fits great and looks really great. I have no complaints about him at all. However, it wasn't easy to install. The biggest problem is the cables, which have to be pulled back into the trunk so that the device can access the antenna and amplifier. I practically had to disassemble the car; Remove the back seat and…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

This is the part you need for Taurus 04 with airbag light

If you have specified make and model Revain can tell you this part will not fit your car but you must know the version Buy if your vehicle has a passenger airbag indicator. The part itself, while a bit pricey, is made of durable quality plastic. The installation is a little tedious, but not very difficult, and I'll give you some tips. Find. Buy a cheap metal U-shape dash removal tool first, or you'll never get your factory stereo out. Second, if you're thinking of cutting something, don't do…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Available in black only

Decent construction, easy installation but know what you're getting into.

It is not clear but this kit is suitable for the car, the tuner itself and the speaker connection are in the trunk. That means you need to run an 8-wire cable from the trunk plus a coax cable for the antenna from the trunk through the trim panel and up to the dash to hook up the standard stereo. It's a decent build, not as solid as the OEM stereo bezel, but it works. Also, unlike the original product, which has the HVAC control symbols embedded in the plastic, this is a sticker. The wiring…

Pros
  • Nice little thing
Cons
  • A little loose change

Perfect solution. Car Electronics

So I bought this kit for my wife's 2007 Taurus. She commutes to work a lot and enjoys listening to podcasts and audio books on her MP3 player. I used to use the very popular PIE adapter. You can see it here:[.]However, TWO of these devices failed for me. On both devices, one of the channels just stopped working. Crutchfield will not replace them as they only have a 90 day guarantee. So I went in search of a more permanent and reliable solution. That's how I came across the Metra kit. I bought…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Quality

From Cassette Deck to CD Player in 3 Hours!

Installed this yesterday on my '06 Taurus SE (with a Pioneer DIN deck) and am over the moon! Just for full disclosure - I'm a moderately techy female and very good at finding videos on google that help me solve any problem. The hardest part was stretching the wiring from the trunk. Maneuvering it through all those little bottlenecks (from the speaker/antenna port through the seat back, down into the channel under the tailgate trim on the driver's side, to the front door trim on the driver's…

Pros
  • Stable results in testing
Cons
  • Almost never

I would rate it on a difficulty scale of 1 to 10.

On a scale of difficulty from 1 to 10 I would rate the installation of this kit a 5. To install this kit you must remove and install the control circuits into the standard dash mount. This requires several tools that the average car owner may not have, including: a torx driver, a socket wrench, and a wire stripper/crimping tool. Luckily I already had everything I needed and didn't have to run to the store for anything. Everything goes smoothly with the right tools, just follow the instructions…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
