1998 Ford Taurus without CD player?

Question

My dad bought me a 98 Ford Taurus. The car is great, but it came with out a CD player. Is there a way I can add one?

I was thinking about getting a portable CD player that had the thing that you can put in the tape slot and plays CDs through that. Any other ideas are appreciated though.

I know the question is still open to new answers but thanks for the answers.

Answer 1

There are a couple different options for that car.

All the 96+ Taurus had radios with built-in CD changer controls. You can go to a dealer or e-Bay and purchase a Ford CD changer that mounts in the trunk and can be controlled through your factory radio, or you can purchase an after-market add-on unit that works the same way as the Ford version: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ygE4wLru9lB/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=65500&I=581F1002I

Alternately, you can replace the in-dash radio with an after-market replacement. It's a little trickier than normal in a Taurus because the radio is integrated into the same panel as the climate controls. A special radio mounting kit is available that replaces the entire panel: http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/sisfd134030b.html This kit works if your climate controls (fan, temp, selector) are rotary knobs, not digital push buttons. If your Taurus qualifies, any car audio shop can supply you with the kit and do the installation for you.

Edit: Yes, a portable CD player with a cassette adapter will work, if you want to do it that way.

Answer 2

The two main ways anal sex might be dangerous would be injury and illness/STD risks. Both of these can be minimized and condoms can be part of that plan. Anal sex can be a safe and pleasurable experience if you keep a few things in mind. SFSI's FAQ (see link below) gives lots of details, but the main ideas are communication, lubrication, patience, and protection. Anal tissue is thin and can tear easily. Use lots of lube, take your time, and stop if there is any pain. If you're using a condom, make sure you use water-based lube with a latex condom; if you want to use an oil-based lube, be sure to use a polyurethane condom instead of a latex condom. There are some concerns about feces during anal sex and the transmission of diseases. In general, washing around the anus with warm water and soap is sufficient for getting rid of bacteria. If you or your partner are concerned about poop, some people feel more comfortable having anal sex after having an enema. Keep in mind that there are some bacteria in the anal tract that SHOULD NOT get into the vagina. Using a condom can decrease the chance of transferring bacteria into the vagina after anal sex because you can change to a new condom without having to stop and wash. Condoms can be helpful in preventing the transmission of STDs. The SF City Clinic Risk Chart lists many STDs that can be transmitted during anal sex including gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, herpes, and syphilis. If neither partner has an STD, then you are not at risk.
