Can I use a Ford 6000CD as a standalone unit?

Does anyone know if a 6000 CD head unit can be used as a standalone? With just the battery +ve and return connected

In theory you could use a car audio unit on its own when connected to suitable 12V power source and the correct speaker connections. We would also suggest using a fuse that matches the amperage from the donor vehicle, but you may also need the security code.
