- This video shows you how to get your broken 1993 Tape deck or CD player working again by purchasing a (often cheaper) unit from another Ford Vehicle.
We look at the various differences and how the parts can be disassembled or reassembled to get your radio functional again.
Thread with various radio part numbers and what vehicles they were in.

Great overview Michael! Ben
Thank you for the info! Purchased a cd player and the shorting plug was missing. I thought the unit was no good. Pulled one from my tape deck and installed and was able to now run a cd player!
Super helpful, thank you
You dont happen to have a working CD drive from inside of one of these do you? Willing to make it well worth your time, let me know!
I don’t have any working units at this time. Becoming a lot harder to get a hold of these days as you can imagine.
На 8.15 минуте, было хорошо если бы объяснили назначение каждого провода
That's a good idea. The purpose of those wires may have differed slightly depending on vehicle, but for the most part this was a pretty standard connector and most vehicles were wired the same. If i do another vid in the future on this I will add that.
(9:04) in. My question is how do you function the CD player/Changer? Theres no channel/input to select nor any type of functions typically seen on a CD player. Also what is the purpose of the dual blade terminal plug where the CD changer goes? I'm probably barking up the wrong tree on this one but I noticed the newer models (about 2004 and up) on the stereo deck have a input button labeled "SAT". However not once have I seen one come to the shop with a working Sirius XM radio, tuner or antenna. Is that button just a teaser or can the radio actually be run to receive satellite radio?
The CD changer, or the slave CD used on some Taurus and the SN95 Mustang, work by "interrupting" the signal from the head unit and inputting their own signal. That particular plug has 6 pins. Two are a L and R channel out, and 2 are L and R channel in. The other two are system operations related. Basically the signal out to the CD change/Slave unit gets cut off and the CD change or Slave SC unit inputs it's own signal. You operate it from the changer itself. WHen it's off, the signal from the head unit is allowed to pass through and return. SO the jumper that is installed pretty much just jumps the L and R output channels to the L & R input channels. On the 1993 Mustangs, this was done internally, so actual F3ZE radios don't need the jumper plug to function. Other radios will due to not having the internal jumper.
As for the 2004 Sat ratio, the radio would need to have a Ford specific tuner and antenna added to enable Sat function. It was "Sat ready" but wouldn't have it originally unless the tuner and antenna was purchased as well. From what I remember it was a $400 ford accessory. I imagine when folks traded in these cars they cancelled service (if it was equipped). Some probably don't realize they need to pull the radio out and locate the tuner to get the numbers off it to activate it. I had a 2003 GT and remember it was much cheaper to buy the Sirius aftermarket module/display and just use an adapter to play into the OE radio.
So does that mean I can hook up a aux cord from to the two blade R/L and play audio from a device with a head phone jack? Or do I have to open the stereo deck and solder it?
@@dogbird6758 I believe that’s how it’s done when I see folks wire in AUX and Bluetooth to these radios. There are some internal points to pick up these pins as well. I meant to dig into one and add Bluetooth but just haven’t gotten to it. The only question I have struggled with is how to interrupt the signal from the head unit to keep it from playing over the signal. I have the wiring schematics for these head units but just haven’t had the time to mess with it.
10/4. Thanx for the video and info.
Any good places to find this stuff online? Trying to find a unit for my 93 mustang. My "google skills are weak!
Unfortunately not. I’ve gotten lucky on eBay and FB marketplace but these days it’s hard to get the 93 mustang specific parts. Folks are starting to want top dollar for busted radios so piecing together a radio like I did in this video is getting harder and more expensive. Even I’m having a harder time getting the parts.
How much??
Sorry not selling any of these
@Mustang5L5 had to ask. My foxbody came with some very confusing newer radio. Looking for some kind of stock one
@@jplperformance9073 Understandable. I figured someone would ask along the way.
