Ford 6 Disc Cd Changer To Pioneer Head Unit?????

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... O.k I have a PIONEER head unit PART # DEH-P5800MP, in my 2007 RANGER. I just bought a 1998 EXPLORER center console to install in the ranger. The center console came equipped with a FORD (made by CLARION) 6 disc CD changer in it. I also have the wire harness that goes from the CD changer to the back of the factory Explorer head unit. Is there any way I can hook up the FORD 6 disc CD changer to my PIONEER head unit to make use of it? Is there a way of using the factory harness or is there a after market harness I can buy to make it work?

Any help would be great on this. I'm not a stereo guy, so please use laymen's terms. lol!

Here's a pic of my head unit :

Don't quote me on this but I don't believe so.... most people put it an aftermarket head unit to avoid 6 disc changers. At least thats what I did on my saab. If you really want to have a storage device attached I'd recommend an ipod cable that pioneer sells or a compatable 100 disc changer if they still make those.

Can you post some pics of the harness, specifically the connector that plugs into the head unit? Your unit can control a CD changer, although it is meant for Pioneer CD changers, but you just might be able to get yours to work.

HI!... Here's a few pics of the plug port on the CD CHANGER. I get some pics of the harness tomorrow for you.
