Thank you, So correct me if i am wrong but i need the cable that plugs in there to work my factory console cd changer ? if so by chance would you have a web link or name for the cable needed ?

Don't think it is that simple. It is probably for the Alpine Cd changers, see the link to the user manual in upper right corner in the posted link above, page 54.

Could you tell me what color wires are on the factory Expo radio harness for cd changer ?

Next time I'm on the desktop I will, but you are wasting your time. Think of the AI-Net as a language the two devices speak. Ford uses a different language to control theirs unless it came with an Alpine changer. The deck is speaking "English" and the changer is speaking "Russian". About the only thing in common between the two languages is the single finger salute which is universal in most languages.

Reworded:

That is correct - new radio will not work with the the factory cd changer unless Alpine made the factory changer and it uses Al-net.
There are around ten wires to the factory cd changer but I didn't count to be sure. Easiest thing would be to find an Alpine cd changer that supports Al-net and replace the factory changer.

That is correct.
