the external trunk mount CD changers ( 1995 and up models ) later, when CD changer was not available we use the port for satellite radios, or rear DVD.
but this ports plugs are still there in 90% of the vehicles from 1995 and up you can use that plug on the radio to install an iPod interface your radio will controls the iPod, playlist albums, songs if the radio was satellite ready ( 2003 and up ) you can see text from your iPod iPhone in the factory radio screen, this units are not FM or wireless.

You get no sound from radio and scans constantly have swapped radios 2 other Taurus and your radio works in other car you get the same results with the swapped radio?
Your antenna lead-in is broken, and the radio isn't getting any signal. That's why it keeps scanning and can't hear anything. Check the connection from the antenna to the cable, and if that's OK, then you'll have to replace the cable from the antenna to the radio. You did connect the antenna to it when you were checking it in the first car, right ? You can quickly test this hypothesis: With a radio in the first car, where no radio works, connect the power, but don't connect the car's antenna to it. Instead, stick the end of a different piece of wire ( 3 to 6 ft long) into the center hole of the antenna connector on the radio, and see if that makes it possible for the radio to start hearing things.
