CD player help

I've got a 2001 Y Reg Focus, which still has a tape player in. As I've not owned a tape for years, its pointless!

My question is, would this be a straight swap?
What is pi? Where did it come from?

    Although secondhand car values are low at the moment it's possible that your Focus is worth slightly more than £39.99.

    Sorry, couldn't resist. This thread would imply that it will probably be OK.
    Can I help?

    Yes, straight swap.

    ISO is the standard car audio connection. When I put a JVC CD changer in my 1991 Honda Civic 6 months ago, I got 2 cables, JVC Head to ISO socket, and ISO plug to Honda socket. Try Ebay.

    To be honest, the adaptor plates and harnesses are so cheap for Fords that I'd buy a new head unit with MP3 playback and maybe even bluetooth for a similar price.

    Likely to last longer as well as if you plug in an SD card there are no moving parts.
