Direct-Fit Replacement Radio

This unit is a professionally remanufactured OEM head unit carrying part number 8L2T-18C869-AG. It is built as a direct replacement for the factory radio in 2008-2009 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer models. The radio includes AM FM reception, a single-disc CD player with MP3 capability, satellite readiness and an upgraded Bluetooth module. No programming code is required for installation.

Owners Needing Exact Part Match

The radio suits owners who have confirmed their current unit bears the exact part number 8L2T-18C869-AG or one of the listed compatible numbers. It will not suit vehicles equipped with external amplifier systems that use a different data stream. Buyers who cannot verify the part number on their existing radio should look elsewhere, as visual similarity does not guarantee compatibility.

Single-Disc Media and Wireless Audio

The head unit comfortably handles standard audio CDs, MP3 discs and terrestrial radio stations while adding hands-free calling and audio streaming via Bluetooth. Satellite radio capability is present but requires a separate tuner subscription. The single-disc mechanism means multi-disc changers are not supported, and the absence of an auxiliary input limits wired portable device connections.

Questions about this item

What vehicle and part number must I already have for this 8L2T-18C869-AG radio to work?

This unit fits 2008-2009 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer models and requires the exact 8L2T-18C869-AG part number currently installed in your vehicle.

Will my existing steering-wheel controls and factory amplifier still function with this remanufactured head unit?

The radio is a direct replacement for the original 8L2T-18C869-AG, so factory steering-wheel controls and the original amplifier interface are retained when the part number matches.

How can I confirm the Bluetooth upgrade is active after installing the 8L2T-18C869-AG receiver?

Pair a phone to the unit; if the Bluetooth connection succeeds and audio streams through the vehicle speakers, the upgrade is functioning as intended.
