If it's stock does it have a anti theft lock on it. What is the make and model of the vehicle? Does the vehicle have its own external amplifier. Is the stock radio specific to the vehicle vin? You give little information for help.
In order to hook up an after market amplifier to a stock stereo your going to have to use a line output converter to adapt it to RCA cables to hook up to your amplifier.
U have a Factory audio auxiliary amp in the truck, the radio is just a head unit with a preamp feeding a main amp, that is behind the right rear 1/4 panel trim panel in the cargo area, if your new sound unit has preamp outputs use them, other wise u must wire around the Ford factory amplifier.
What you are hearing is ground loop interference. If you have an aftermarket headunit/amplifier this is a common occurrence. A ground loop isolator in line with the low level amplifier inputs should solve the problem. Otherwise, it may be a malfunction of the stock cd unit or amplifier. BMW used a balanced input on some of the stock amplifiers, which would make ground loop interference all but impossible.
