that is the standard cassette deck. You can plug that into one of the harnesses that bypasses the amp, but it has no way to control a cd.
There are 3 sub harnesses that Ford used, one for radio only, one for radio and cd(non Mach)and one for Mach systems. This is a direct plug and play with correct sub harness. You will need the radio/cd non mach harness. I should have one available.Hi all,
First main posting on here and it's a project - one I think sounds simple but fear it's not going to be! Apologies if this goes on a bit too...
As per the subject, I have a 1994 V6 and want to fit the stock CD player into it. When I got the car it had a Sony aftermarket tape player with 10-slot CD changer in the boot. I wanted originality so got rid of that (the changer took up too much space anyway) and found an original cassette player that I fitted to the connectors the Sony was on, as in these 2 (the sony used ISO converters, the Ford replacement was straight on to these).

So this gave me...

... which is what I wanted. But now I want to put the CD player in too where the current small cubby hole is.
I don't think I have the Mach 460 system (or should I say has had) as there's no tweeter speakers on the inside where the wing mirrors mount to the doors. But I do have some extra connectors in the radio bay which could be interesting.
Firstly, the one on the left.

These appear to go into the same loom but I have no idea what they are for. Then, the image on the right above is 2x more connectors that are to the right-hand side which look like the reverse of what I have connected the tape radio to. Close-up of these below...

The CD player I want is the standard one...

... but I read somewhere that there are 2x versions of this - one for the Mach 460 system and one for cars without the Mach 460. The only ones I seem to be able to find however have these connections on them...

... which don't match the connectors I have in the car.
Oh, and for interest, the tape player I have is...

Hopefully there's someone out there that can make sense of all this and advise on what I have / need to make this work. I have not purchased anything yet but am hoping there's a model of cd player and loom out there I can get and maybe splice in some way into what I have and I can get it all going.
Thanks in advance for any help.
