I have an 04 mustang gt, the stock radio actually ate a cd in the first slot lol
so i bought an off brand cd/mp3 just so i can hook up my mp3 player, but when i got the hardware, none of the plugs matched up. I did buy what i thought was the right wiring harness for an easy hookup, still didnt match and none of the wires match for color

Im good with motors, but when it comes to electrical in cars, not so much

E: it does have small amps for the stock speakers in the rear

you'll need to match these factory wires to the harness wiring.

Match up all of the colors. If there's only 1 color on 1 side cap it.

Test the wires as well - never forget that.
