i have an old ford escort 1995, and want to put a new stereo in it, but the original wiring is different colors to the new one, what is the color connections in relation to new.

you might just need to add a connector, try local car audio suppliers (NOT HALFORDS) get them to have a look. I went to halfords and they wanted to charge me for connecter £11-99 + fitting £6-99 which i did not need went to local car audio and they fitted new stereo without connector or fitting charge.

hope it helps, September 2010
