I don't understand your question.

I've done about 2 stereos on mine and the best thing I've done is go to Walmart and get a wiring connector harness for the Ford, I think it's about $7.00 to $12.00, I can't remember, but I'm sure it's under $12.

The cd player has all it's wiring codes and colors usually on a sticker on it, and the Walmart connector has it's own with explanations like:

Red/Green Right Front + Red/Blue Right Front -

There are almost always eight diferent wires, and four are for the four speaker postivies, and four are for the four speaker's ground. Then there is the blue one for power antenna, A Red/green or simular for Always on (clock, wire this to the fuse box) Another one for power, which is switched on by key And a main ground black one for the whole unit.

Most cdplayers wire 8 wires to four speakers.

The wiring harness takes away the problem of mis-wiring + and - wrong.

So I just plug the wiring harness then into the Ford connector in the panel, and the cd player and there you go.

You have to solder or twist connect the two wiring harnesses. Take your time, follow the color codes and you'll be a pro.

Best Buy and Fry's and other stores sell the connectors, but they want a lot more money for them. Best call before you go. They're always out.
