Laser stereo update time!

[Micktor's owner]

Laserheads,

It's come that time to update the old security-coded stereo in the 88 Laser Ghia to a CD player. Thankfully I can put up with the speakers for the time being so I'll cross the "any-rewiring-to-be-done"-bridge when I get to it.

Is there anything to make a straight tape-cd payer swap any easier? I remember mucking about for quite some time on the old 77 Fairmont but that didn't even have a tape deck and was therefore fiddly. But I'd love any advice on getting past the Laser fascia and wiring up from anyone who's done it a few times. Is the best way to unscrew the fascia after removing the ash tray?

Any advice much appreciated, Thanks

Had a quick look through the achives to find some advice,

If anything differs from:

let me know. I'm assuming my '88 should have the same wires as a '90?
