iphone. My brother has a F150 and he said there is a second USB port behind the radio. He ran a extension from there to the center council. He took the part of the dash right above the radio to access it. Not sure if there is one in the F250, I am going to look tomorrow. They should have put one in there too. I put a power plug in that has 2 USB ports on in it, that will at least allow me to charge a USB device.

stick it in your computer and transfer music from cds or itunes to it, they hold 1000+ then take memory stick to truck and it's an option same as am/fm or cd or usb ( memory stick).

Very cool... much easier than loading or navigating the iPod.

Do you know if there is a way to list albums that on the iPod/USB drive through Sync commands?

Man... I have almost 2 TB of music on a Western Digital MyBook drive... I'm thinking I could plug the drive into the onboard A/C outlet and into the USB...

About 140,000. Roughly 15,000 albums. It represents almost a decade of collecting/ripping my CD collection, which I've built since 1986.
