Fiesta mk5 51 Head Unit confusion

[crowdie]

Hey, I recently bought my first car (fiesta mk5) with the intention of fixing her up over summer before passing my test. I've come to a snag when it comes to the radio. I bought the car knowing the previous owner had taken the radio out and left a nice hole in the dash. For the moment, I plan on installing a basic CD player (din) until I can find a nicer unit. The problem is it seems the old ford wiring has been converted in some way, and it isn't obvious to me what has happened as I don't know what it looked like before, and the current wiring doesn't allow me to install my current unit.
I took a picture to show what the wiring currently looks like, Ive looked around and can see converters for the original wiring, but at the moment I'm reluctant to try anything because everything looks bodged.







The last one shows cut wires which doesn't look good, but ive no idea to be honest
The head unit also has two normal audio wires (red and white, like you would find in the back of a tv) which have no where to go...
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Can't tell from the pictures if that is botched or not, if so I could probably help with the wiring. Cut wires are rarely good though/.
Fords need an adapter to connect from the "longer" slots at the back of the photo, to the "fatter" ones nearer the front.
I'll take some pictures of my car tomorrow to show you better.

On second look of your pictures, it looks like its just the adapter that is botched.

This is what mine looks like fro reference. Don't worry too much about the red/white cables unless you want to do fancy things with cd changers or amps or subwoofers etc.

thanks for the reply, I untied all of the new wiring leaving me with the factory plugs. I then bought a new adapter, plugged it in and it worked first time! Thanks for all the help, much appreciated
