I just bought a ford premium stereo/cassette with sony cd slave unit that installs below. I am upgrading a 1993 Taurus that had the basic stereo/cassette. Question 1. what are the wiring diagrams for the slave cd? There are 2 plugs. 1 8-pin and 1 6-pin. Where does the 8 pin connect to and where does the 6 pin connect to? Question 2. Is an amp required to power the system? Thanks in advance, Brian

I don't know the answer to question 1 since I am usually removing them and not hooking them up. :) For question 2 the answer is yes, Ford premium sound systems use an external amp. ------------- Support the12volt.com

this isnt necessarily true, we've found out on other posts that there are only amps for certain years, I know I have a 99 EB expy and it does not have an external amp, so I think it was only used up until 99

Really? OK, thanks for that correction. So I guess the real answer is "it depends." :) ------------- Support the12volt.com

I did similar setup for my frined Grand Marquis. We installed HU , rewire all speakers , added 4ch amp and its sounds pretty good, better than stock Premium sound. This site has most of Ford's radios with diagrams , very helpful , if still consern let know , we will work this out. https://www.p71interceptor.com/radio/ ------------- Marcin Figura wanna shout Viva Polonia !! yeah .. wszedzie !

Order the Ford Motor Company wiring diagrams manual for this vehicle from any Ford dealer. It'll show the wiring for the player. ------------- Support the12volt.com
