Ford Scorpio from '97: Radios and other adventures

Hi folks,
I own a Ford Scorpio estate car from the end of 1997 and am really fed up by the built in radio. I would like to exchange it but now I am running into some trouble, mainly related to the remote control that is connected to the steering-wheel.
I found out that due to the Scorpio not having a normal DIN slot for the radio, I will need some kind of aperture for it. I should be able to get that from my local Ford dealer, so that's the rather little not to say irrelevant problem.
My main-problem is the so called remote control at the wheel. I would like to continue to use it, even with a new radio. Has a person in this forum maybe done the same already and can tell me what Adapter I need and where I can buy it? Most preferably in Germany, but other countries might work as well, YMMV.
Thank you in advance!

Hi madkiss ...bit of a mission that ..considering the later Ford radios were meant to make everything easier to adapt ! ..however ..I'm not sure which radio you want and therfore which lead would be required but if check a company called " autoleads " they pretty much cover all eventualities ....regards .....STN

What I am really hunting for is the "What adapter to use" information. I was not able to find a matching product so far. Meanwhile I found out that the car was first used in 02/1997 ...

hiya ..you still don't say what radio you are intending fitting ? ..but they surely will be able to fix you up ..or will advise if you e-mail them .. it's pretty simple to keep the stalk control whichever radio you fit ..even after market ones .. you probably have a 7000 series Ford Radio which has the remote lead in the back < yellow connector from memory > and you will be able to use it unless you have already used it for a mobile phone remote or GPS system ... cheers ...STN
ps. if it is the 7000 ..it's a pretty good radio by all accounts .. what are you fed up with exactly ? .. it's rather dated appearance ? .. I agree if it is that .. still a decent set though .....

The current radio is indeed a Radio 7000 CD, yes.
No, design is not the problem. To be honest, I don't like the view of the current radios either (they somewhat look like the control-panel of the beamer on the Voyager ...), but they have a CD-Player. And that is exactly what makes me mad with the current radio. I want a radio that can play CDs, CD-RWs and MP3s. That is why I am trying to replace it.

The radio I would prefer actually would be the Pioneer DEH-P7600MP, by the way.
