after removing my standard 1992 spec ford tape player from my sapphire cosworth 4x4 i have noticed the only plugs to the radio are 1x standard ford plug(yellow) which is the power to the radio and 1x small ISO ? style connector which is small and has aprox 9 small pins which looks like a amplifier lead off the older fords. however this car does not have a Amp or equliser or cd player?(not that i can see?) this is giving me problems as i want to fit a alpine cd player but no one seems to do a harness or connector to change this plug to the normall ford style fitted on most fords?? (the 2 yellow plugs) any help or info where to get a lead/connector from would be appreciated cheers.

The amplifier for the standard stereo will be tucked away at the bottom of the nearside 'A' post just after the door opening.

Just pop the kick panel trim off and you should see it.

As for the conversion leads, you should be able to get it from any good car audio specialists. The lead is quite long as you can imagine with the amp being where it is!

My one is made by Autoleads and I bought it from my local stereo place so you shouldnt have any probs.

you should have the normal power connections, sometimes "Y"'d off if you have the head unit/cd player set up with the apporpriate leads that connect the 2 of them together (the ribbon types with either a blue of yellow or red plug, although sometimes they are bundled together and are black)

as said, by the passenger side kick panel in the footwell (the panel with the light in it) you'll find the other end of the speaker lead, with another power point and the regulation speaker plug

a bit of dismantling will see you being able to use that plug and just feed it back to the stereo slot, but if you can get an adapter lead then it's probaly going to be much easier
