Factory Stereo help!

I am trying to get a satellite radio hard wired to my factory stereo, however, i dont have the auxillary inputs behind my current stereo. Will somebody please take a look at this Mach 3 unit and let me know if it had auxillary inputs and if it will fit in a 2000 Ford Ranger. THANKS!!!

I don't think that particular head unit has any inputs on it. Better off to look into a 2006 or newer factory radio or there are a lot of aftermarket head units that will be much better and probably less than Ford will want for a new factory unit.

I beleive it can be hooked up to a cd changer though. Could a PIE adapter be used in that case to hook up to a satellite radio?

why go through all the trouble of trying to hook up a junk factory radio when it would be so much cheaper and easier to hook up an aftermarket radio that will sound better?
