I was thinking about putting an after market deck in my truck and was wondering if I have to anything different since I have the stock 6 disc changer in the back or is it just plug in like every other car I've had

I forgot to mention it's a 97 f150 xlt

I'm not shure but I think that it should and my dads 97 has one but it still has the factory radiio

Alright thanks I'm gonna be getting a new radio soon I like 6 disc but in the winter it doesn't read any of my CDs so I always gotta listen to the radio

My dads dose that too and I'm not shure if it even works anymore

I know I got some friends that are surprised mine still works sometimes it'll stop working for a while if I slam my door to

There aren't any stereos that will let you still use your factory CD changer. For the price they are now, get a head unit that has a USB port and plug in a MP3 player, or flash drive with your music on it.
Having 800 songs at my finger tips, and not a single CD to bother with is priceless. I am only limited to the size of the flash drive I use as to how many songs I can have.

My CD changer is still hooked up behind the seat not being used if anybody is interested in buying it.

Yeah I saw a nice deck that I wanna put in I just wasn't sure if I had to get another harness because of the disc changer I'll probably get it next payday cuz I already have aftermarket speakers all around

Exactly what skiz says. You'll lose your factory 6 disc changer capability. You can swap in a Ford CD-6 easily enough. That's what I have in my truck and I too have a 97. It all depends on what you want out of your head unit.
