MP3 player input
I have a 2004 f150 built Sept. 04 that has the non mp3 6 disc stereo. I found an adaptor that plugs into the cd changer input that will allow me to use an external mp3 player. Does anyone know if this will work with my early model stereo? I've read on here that Ford changed radio manufacturers at some point even though the stereos look the same. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure, but you could call a stereo shop and ask or maybe these guys could help. http://mp3yourcar.com/search.asp

talk to PIE ( precision Interface electronics)
they will get you the correct CanBuss aux adapter for your year radio.
yes, there are slight differences in the radios and communication software. so be sure to specify 2004, they may even ask you to press a sequence of numbers on the radio to get the software level....(for 2004 )

I know. But Ford doesn't make the radio head units that they put into these vehicles. They're under contract with their supplier, etc. for "x" number of years. So, until that supplier decides to provide them with a multi-function unit at roughly the same cost, Ford can only sit and wait. It's business ... not personal. The consumer is going to buy this truck regardless. Sure, we'd all love to have that input/jack option. I know I would've bought a 60GB iPod last year had this been an easy option. But, since I don't want to mess with the PIE, etc., I'll just listen to the radio and my CDs for the time being.
