Need HELP installing a new cd player in a 2000 V6 Mustang

[nin_man]

I pulled out both the CD player and the radio, and removed a lot of the wiring back there that connected the two. I installed the new head unit where the old radio was, and I had a same-sized pocket from my previous car that I put in the slot where the CD player used to be.

If you don't have a blank faceplate to put back there, you could leave the CD player where it is as long as you unhook all the cables from it. It won't hurt anything, except maybe the appearance, to leave it because it and the radio are two separate pieces.
