Your new cd player may not be compatible with the stalk controls, therefore there will be nowhere to connect the Orange wires,so the stalk controls will not work.

Most after market stereos are not compatible with stalk controls so they may now be redundant, also if you find the stereo losing its memory after removing the keys and switching off, swap the red and yellow wires over, one is perm live and the other from ignition.

Look at what the output of the cd player is, if its lower than the speaker output(which I suspect it is) you will need an amp or some speakers with a lower output.
