2006 Stereo Question

I know the 2007 models started putting an AUX port in the dash so you could plug in and IPOD / MP3 player. The 2006 models did not have this option.

I was wonder if anybody new if a 2007 F150 stereo and AUX port would fit into a 2006 model?

Are the wiring harnesses the same?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

From what I understand, you can add the AUX input to your existing configuration, you just need the plug adapter in the dash tray and then have it wired.

I skipped all of that and bought an aftermarket head unit, with USB and AUX inputs in the face. The ease of use is much better, and the sound is greatly improved.

Are you dead set on keeping the factory look?

The factory look does not really matter. I was thinking If I could find the parts from an '07 in a junk yard for cheap then I might be able to use it in the '06.

I also looked into this and the Adapter was more than a good Alpine unit so. I went alpine. And my DroidX fits in the kits pocket. Win Win, Nice and compact my cord from my phone to the radio doesnt get in the way either

I went after market also, it seemed to be the better way because you can get a head unit with basically anything. I got mine with a USB port for a flash drive to hold music and a screen and added a back up camera.
