Default sierra tape deck, amp and changer

My car still has the standard tape deck amp and a changer in it, what do i need to fit a cd player in the car as i cant find the proper leads i need.

I got one on ebay but its not the right size of connectors.

any help would be appreciated

Get an ISO connector for the existing loom, simply plug and play then and you can always revert in the future, opposed to cutting and botching the wiring.

Go into halfrauds and get the book out of iso connectors.
Think they are £14.99 , they have access to the biggest catalogue of old stock and if you get it wrong at least they will order the right part for free.

Also i think member "juicy 666" could possibly want the connections that you have !!
From memory i believe if you change the head you can't use the ford amp.

You need a speaker extension lead which plugs in to the speaker plug in the amp in the footwell and that then runs along the back of the glove box to the stereo

probably got a set of leads if you want them, but they are different from unit to unit so you can't use the same one for a head unit to cd player as head unit to cd changer controler

grey ribbon cables with different coloured ends on them will be grey, red, yellow or blue
