my 92 LX coupe has a factory tape deck, can I swap a 93 ford CD player into the same spot or are the connectors and such in the rear different? I'd like to retain the factory look.
everything will hook up the same, not sure if the stereos are coded or not but i dont think they are. you can just pick up those 2 little u shaped tools at your local walmart for a couple bucks and pull the stock one out, pull the plug, plug in the new, and push it in! shouldint take any more then 5 minutes!
WOO HOO!!! finally i know the answer instead of asking the question!!!
I took the one out of my car and replaced it with a cassette so I could use my iPod in the car. It sold on the 'Bay for almost $250! I was stoked.
Just one note, the CD players in 93 were only available with the premium sound option. They have an amp under the passenger's seat and have a different hook-up than the non-premium sound cars. I had to make sure I got a cassette deck from a premium car.

I looked into this a while back. I wanted the stock look.
Financially it just didn't make sense.
I bought a brand new old school eclipse stereo i wanted on ebay NIB for $39.
Even thought about using the stereo out of a newer mustang, but for all the wiring sorting it was just too much trouble.
