I am switching radios between two contours. Pulled aftermarket JVC out of 1996 and put it in the 1995...no problems with that. I am putting the stock unit from 1995 into the 1996 contour. It does not seem to work. Can get power but no sound from speakers.

The DIN removal tool that I used to pull stock unit has a note that says "some vehicles may have code protected radio...". Is the ford stock radio w/cassette code protected? If so how do I get the code?

If it is not code protected...any other ideas on what might be problem?
