This is for my computer illeterate friend who doesn't want to spend money but wants CD. He has a '97 Contour with the non-premium system. Or does it even have the CD input on the '97? Anyone know? Thanks. I've seen factory CD units go for as much as $100.00 on ebay, without the amp. Check the classified ads off the CEG home page. occasionally, factory stuff is posted there. Or contact me in about a week if he still wants factory, I'm replacing mine (with Alpine), and will sell the head unit, amp and 4 factory speakers for a reasonable price.

So you agree with everyone else that the factory amp is required. That's fine. Nothing wrong with a little bit of a challenge. If you have a digital camera maybe you can take a couple snapshots while you are ripping everything out?
