Well, I have an 05 F350 SD that has the factory head unit. I just had a direct connection done for my Sirus radio, installed. When I hit AUX, on the head unit, I see there is actually 2 options that come up. Push AUX once and it says PIE, and if I push AUX again, it says CRYSTAL LINE. They both play the Sirus when pushed, so I'm not sure whether or not there are 2 different inputs or not. I would like to be able to plug in an MP3 player as well.
Anyone know if this is possible with the factory head unit? Are there 2 AUX inputs on the rear of the head unit?

 

I don't know the answer, but a friend has an 05 Mustang and he said his does the same thing. He found some information on Mustang Specific searches. I just can't remember what he specifically found. If he lets me know more, I'll post it.

 

Anyone out there know?

 

The factory aux connectors wouldn't be anything the avg. consumer could plug into (using their own personal equip) w/out some interface devices.

On Edit:
Check out Kenwood p/n: KOS-V500 or KOS-V1000; lets you keep your Factory h/u but at the same time connect Multiple aftermarket devices. Iirc... the only stipulation was that your radio had to have the RDS function (haven't tried one w/out RDS).

Peripheral also has a interconnect but you will lose function of the Sat. radio.

 

What is the RDS?
I alrerady have an interface plugged into the headunit now. It is hooked to my Sirus, and I want to be able keep it linked through the head unit and add an MP3 player as well.

 

Radio Data System... its a feature that allows you to see the broadcast info of radio station and artist info (etc.) on the radio display.

On edit: I relized you have the Aux button already... I know that was another stipulation of the Kenwood set-up. I think the RDS req'ment was only to use Ipods and such to see artist/song info on the radio screen.

 

So does it look like there is another input on the back of the head unit?
As I mentioned before, I push the AUX button once and 'PIE' comes up, with 'dvd' below that. If I push it again CRYSTAL-LINE' comes up. It appears that there may be 2 AUX inputs on the back, but I want to confirm that.

 

Do you know which interface as far as p/ns?

If we know this we can determine What that interface has on it already. (if it came with 1...2 4 6 Connections)

 

It's a PIE unit. I'll have to call the place that installed it for me and ask them.

 

Found out, I have this unit.

In order for me to get an extra accessory hooked to it, I'll have to hook this unit to it.

I have an '05 F250 with the CD-6 six-CD changer in the head itself. Before I pull my dash apart, does anyone have a picture of the rear of this unit? All I want is a simply 3.5mm plug-in for my non-Ipod mp3 player. I already have the "AUX" button and nothing else plugged into the head. Is something like Tim98TA's adapter what I'm looking for?
Thanks,

Later...

No, you need this one.

Then you will just have to get a cable that has RCA jacks on one end, and a 3.5mm stereo jack on the other end.
