Installing a new car radio need help with wiring harness?

I have a Sony cdx-gt420ip and I'm trying to get it into my 2000 Ford Focus, but when I take out the factory radio the wiring harnesses don't match up. I'm assuming there must be some kind of converter I can use, or adapter, but I can't be too sure. I've looked in websites and they all say that the radio is compatible with the car, so should I look into adapters or different kind of wiring harnesses?

Answer:

Go to any audio store and if you're lucky a walmart and go into the audio section Ask the worker to help you look for a wiring harness adapter for the specs of your car When you get it, it should give you a plug end and the other end just being wire colors Plug that end to the one in your car and then with the other end of wires, just match up the wires from your stereo and then that should be it Other than that, the ones you don't use, just leave them alone because you don't need them
