Stock CD changer = no worky with aftermarket unit. What kind of car is it?

No Im now worried about thecd changer it came with a kenwood changer but the fact that I didnt get any sound when it was all installed to the harness becaus all the speakers were connected to that round looking cable that was SIMILAR to the cd changer cable.

Its a 2002 Montero Sport Limited.

Anyone?

You do have a factory amp, though I'm not sure where it's located in the Montero. If you're keeping the stock speakers, you can buy a special harness that lets you use the factory amp with the new head unit. Here's a link. The Metra model number is 70-7003, if you want to call around and see if a local store has it.
