Dimensions

CRUX does not publish reliable overall dimensions or product weight for the SWRFD-60 in its current specifications.

For Walmart/eBay assembled dimensions and weight, I recommend using physical measurements rather than estimated marketplace values.

Performance

The SWRFD-60 translates compatible Ford-family vehicle data and factory controls for use with an aftermarket radio. Its built-in SWC interface is configurable for aftermarket brands including Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood, JVC, Pioneer, Sony, Dual, Jensen, Nakamichi, Power Acoustik and Soundstream, among others.
