Howdy guys,


Has anyone installed one of the following devices in their truck to connect AUX audio devices?

How much is it? Most use a PIE adapter, about $70 on Amazon or about $100 from Car Toys

Well, that's essentially what it is.

I've found it for about $100 on ebay AND Amazon etc....

Pac-Audio.com Product Details | iPod Integration for your car and More by Pac-Audio - Connecting you to the future

They just indicate that your radio MUST have an "AUX" control on the front panel.

On my 2003 Excursion, I use a PIE adapter.

I have the OEM, indash 6-CD changer/radio.

By using the PIE adapter (and maybe the brand you have referenced as well) I just hit the CD button and it toggles between CD-1 and CD-2 (if no CD's in the head unit), then it defaults to the my external SAT radio I have hardwired into my head unit.

The head unit sees the adapter as a remote or secondary CD player??? However, not all model years and radios work this way - not sure why (my head unit does NOT have a AUX button by the way).

Guess you could buy it and try - as long as you can return if it does not work?

Good luck.

I don't think there's any question on whether it will work.

I'd just like to know how well they work.

If you have the aux button on your stereo, they work great. I have a PIE as well. I switch between sat and iPod on mine.
