Alternative radio for Scorpio

I've got a Ultima with a 7000 series stereo with CD changer in the boot. I've seen a few 6000 series units which look a similar size and claim to be CD changer compatible on ebay. Will these fit straight into a scorpio and work with messing without messing with new leads etc?
Since it's got a CD instead of a tape, how does that work if you also have a changer in the boot? Any sound difference? Should I be better getting a 7000 replacement?
Cheers

Personally I picked 5000 unit works a treat and to me the sound it fine, others I know will disagree. Managed to get one with the wood trim that matches the rest. So pleased I even put one in the good halfs escort as her 7000 had the dreade blank screen
I think it is very much "horses for course" on this subject.

I take it they did not do a 7000 series in wood?
Is the 6000 series Changer compatible model as good with the sound as the 7000?

Hi Simon. There is very little, if any difference in sound quality between the 6 & 7000 series head units ( both have built in amps ). Yes they did do the 7000 with a wood finish, but they are quite rare & dont come up too often. When they do appear they fetch good money  . Still have the poor display problem though !!!
