Hello,
I joined your forum as we just bought a 2008 Ford f250. It has a plug in receptacle to the right of the heater/AC controls for an mp3 player. I am looking for a source for a jack to connect my mp3 player to this receptacle as I don't seem to have one included with any of my mp3 players (no ipod just a Toshiba gigabeat and a couple of others). Radio Shack, Amazon? I don't know where to look.

This is our first big truck as a 30 year married couple. Hubby had GMCs and others before. We still have our 1999 Tacoma which is my vehicle. I won't be driving this new one as it looks like a tank. Hubby says I will be surprised at how well it handles. I am not so sure.

It is a diesel 6.4L turbo diesel, 4x4, Super Duty, Super Cab, long bed, off road package, with humongous tires and Firestone Ride rite airbags already installed for when we get our a new/used Hallmark pop up slide in truck camper. I think I will need a ladder to get in it is so high off the ground. It has a couple of small dents and the bed was used to haul gravel. He also pulled a toy hauler so it has the remnants of a fifth wheeler connection.

We are photographers so wanted a self-contained camper to boondock and a vehicle capable of hauling it. next stop, Colorado to buy a new or used camper.

Thanks for any help you can give us.

 

radio shack or any of the 'box' stores will/ should have them .
it is just a male to male cord ...

 

yep, 1/8" headphone jack on each end.

 

Get one from radio shack, they also have a lifetime warranty for like $1, if it ever breaks or gets ruined they replace it. Total will be about $10.

 

Take your vehicle and the MP3 player you want to use to Radio Shack and they should be able to tell you exactly what you need. Oh and welcome to FTE.

 

Thanks folks. I picked one up today at radio Shack. $10. Kinda cheap looking but wanted to make sure that the mp3 audi outlet worked. We pick up our new ride on Friday morning and are sooooo looking forward to getting it. Pics in appropriate newcomer thread.
