I bought a Ford tape/radio off ebay the other day as my Saph has no tunes! The model of the stereo is a Ford 2008 tape player. I have hust recieved the head unit so gone straight to my car to find the standard wires in my car are different to the inputs on the stereo

My car is a 1989 Sierra Saph 2.0 DOHC Ghia.

Ive seen these headunits in 1992 Saph 4X4 Cossie's, think they were standard fittment and also on Granada Scorpio's.

My plugs are 2 long thin black plugs. The input for this headunit looks like 3 small plugs.....any ideas?

The only thing I can think of is..... If i could find a Cossie 4X4 thats being broken I could have the plugs off that then work out which wire goes to which on my loom and solder them together.

Any help/advice would be great as im really big need of some music, cant sing to myself anymore!

Can you get a picture up mate?

I think the 2008 is suppose to work in conjunction with a ford amp?

Yeh im sure you are correct.

Out of interest Godzilla how did you get the code for the tape player/radio?? Im needing to do it myself with a 2008.

I can get codes if you post the serial number of the unit.
