Stereo Aux Imput

[SVTFLEA]

I have a 06 SEL V6. It has the 6 disc MP3 in dash changer in it.

On this stereo, there is a nice big AUX button. How do I get to use that (like with an iPod for example).

 

Thanks...

Is there no auxiliary input jack inside your center console armrest?

That's the unfortunateness of the 06...I too am in the same boat...

If it was an option in '06 then just go to the Ford dealer parts dept. and order the harness(s). If it wasn't an option, or if it's too costly or too hard to add the harness(s) then as akirby suggested I'd just get the correct PIE adapter from PIE.

I've got a 2006 Fusion V6 SEL with the 6 changer CD. I recently installed an iSimple PXDX2 and it works great. I picked it up on eBay here for $70. The toughest part was taking off the dash trim around the radio. Other than that, it was pretty easy to install.

I have an '06 Mustang, but the head unit is identical. The PIE adaptor works great. I think you'll be impressed with the sound quality off your iPod versus radio or CDs. Make sure you get the updated version. I had to order a chip for mine, otherwise the lights on the radio stay at the dimmed level you get with the headlights on. Either way, I lost the speed volume. Still, for the versatility, it's a fair trade-off.

That is the PIE site, however, it states you need to be a dealer/distributor to order one

directly from there. Not true ?

[Mercury Milan]

Correct, according to the dealer contract P.I.E. does not sell directly. HOWEVER they can tell you who the closest dealer is in your area. You could also try to call Best Buy and/or Circuit City to see if they carry it :)

and what about if i don't have an Ipod, just another brand mp3 player. Isn't there an adapter that will just plug into the headphone jack of my mp3 player?

That's what the PIE adapter gives you - a headphone jack auxilliary input.

so the PIE adapter comes with a connection to plug into the bottom of an Ipod, or a stereo mini connection and I can just hookup whichever one i want when I'm installing the PIE adapter? Was hoping there would be a cheaper option than that.

The PIE adapter I used gives you a headphone input jack connected to the Aux input. That's all it does. There may be other pie adapters with iPod docking connectors. Google is your friend.
