    If you need an adaptor you could try here http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk, mind you the one they sold me for a Volvo was substandard and needed modifying to work.

    I'm gonna go to halfords in the morning ask them what I need to fit it then source them on ebay and have a crack at it myself. Unless anybody knows what I need for a 1997 ford escort do they?

    Oh and of course if ther's a car audio fitter from Lincoln on here PM me ;)

    u will need these,its got the adapter plate,also the wiring converter and the aerial adapter if you need it.
    good price aswell:D

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=108815&item=5783314642&rd=1

    then its a case of removing your big ford radio ,plugging the wireing adapter on to your cars existing wiring +aerial adapter if required,then it will plug staight into your new radio,then clip on your adapter plate and push new radio in.

    Wish someone would do a car CD player with an aux input at this sort of price.

    With the amount of MP3 players out there they'd clean up!

    I'm getting by with a cassette adaptor at the moment but its not ideal.

    I bought a cassette adapter for my mp3 player - stuck it in my sony car head unit and all it does it reverse, reverse, reverse - no sound coming through at all. Any idea whether this is likely to be the unit or a fault wiht the cassette adapter? Any I've used in the past with my last car just played no problem.

    I completely agree, an "in" socket would be SO useful

    LOL - very funny! don't worry your not losing it happened to me twice getting some offers mixed up! (or maybe we are both losing it?)

    Thanks for that, glad to know it's not just me!

    Managed to get my player fitted - Hubby works in a bus depot and got one of the electricians to fit it so now I can music wherever I go :j :j :j

    The kids are not too happy about listening to me screeching U2 songs as we drive along though :eek:

    Bought this CD etc player yesterday and got my stepson to fit it.

    It works a treat, looks very neat and the sound is great.

    At last I have music in the car again. Yipee
    Its better to be late in this life than early in the next one.
