If going aftermarket, nip to Halfords and they will have connectors-about a tenner
personally I searched for an age for an original Ford CD player and installed that, I like it looking standard.

paul you girl do as i did and use bullet connectors so if you remove it just link it up how it was

its easy anyway all you need is a +ve -ve and wire your amp... easy mate

Mission! bought the amp harness from Halfords plugged it all in.. everything worked apart from the front passenger side speaker Took everything apart trying to find out why with the multi meter, after about half hour of tracing wiring back it turns out that some previous owner had cut all the speaker connectors off the Amp loom for some previous sound system then when putting it back to standard all they did was twist the wires and put black tape around them Trimed the lot back and fitted new bullet connectors wired it all up and its working pefectly! So feeling cocky wired up my Rockford 12" sub and amp too
