Question
bought a used 98 Taurus for my daughter. I'm trying to find a used cd changer to interface with the OEM radio in the car. how do I find the OEM# for the changer in the trunk that corresponds with that radio, I don't want to purchase something off ebay that wont work, plus I will need to take it to the dealer to program the two afterwards...so I hear...this is all new to me.  Any and all help would be grateful. Thank you so very much for your time.

Answer
there is no need to reprogram anything, on ford vehicles,
the cd changer connection is in the trunk left side  you can get a new cd changer from here
