Just a thought...

The CD Changer featured in Rover 800's (part no. XQE10010), would this connect to the standard Ford unit in my Escort? AFAIK, they're not specific to Rovers in general, are they?

I doubt if the Ford Head Unit will have the connection to incorperate the CD changer.

Hmm...it is CD changer compatible, so I had the idea that one may fit - can't seem to find a Ford one when I have the cash. Ah well, shall find out when I can take the Head Unit out to have a look.

Dan,

In a word, no, it won't. :(

The connections will be different for starters, and not only that, the ford unit won't be able to read the electronic signal the the CD changer sends to it. You would have to buy an interface unit, which is a small black box which plugs inbetween the changer & head unit, but these are pricey, at around £50+ :shock:

What model is the Ford unit? Is it a 2007? Or the later double din type?
