Hi!
I'm trying to install a CD player into my 95 Town Car, and the wires are very unusual. Also, the old stereo is AM/FM/Cassette... apparently, this is unusual. I really could use the wiring diagram for it (that won't cost me so much money!), if anyone has it... or even could offer some clue of how to proceed, I would be VERY grateful.
To save time, I have already purchased a DIY repair manual, and that diagram is not in it that I see.

If you're keeping the old head unit and adding a CD changer, you'll need an adapter kit. http://www.Crutchfield.com is one resource for these adapters, but there everywhere stereo's are sold.
Same goes for keeping ANY part of the existing system, such as speakers for example, with or without the factory amplifier.
If you're replacing everything, using the existing wiring harness isn't recommended due to the smaller than desired wire guage for sound, and the bi-directional speaker feeds.
Whomever you get your CD changer from, should also be able to supply you with mounts and adapters. No jerking around with matching wires, just plug in the harness and start listening.

I had the same problem, but the best solution is...
Replacing all speakers wiring !!!
May be youŽll need 4 hours, but youŽll be glad with the work, cheaper, and give a maintenence routine for speakers mounting holes, clean the gaskets, etc.
If you get a new car audio system, you need to discard the JBL amplifier system (may be your new unit is more powerful than the original equipment).
Use a good AWG wire, high quality conectors (gold plated it's better) and prepare to hear a nice sound.
Regards.

Yeah just replace the whole system you'll be glad you did. I had left the stock speakers and in less than 1 hr i blew both rear ones bought some cheap lightning audio 6X9's and havent had any problems since the front ones hold up pretty well .
