PIE Aux / Uni-Pod Installation
I recently purchased a PIE aux and Uni-Pod adapter to install in my '04 F150 (brandmotion doesn't support the '04 F150s). To install these adaptors I need to locate a constant 12V power source and also a 12V power source that turns on and off with the car ignition.
Has anyone installed these adaptors? and if so where did you pull the power from?
I know that there must be power going to the CD player (6-disc audiophile) but I'm not sure which wire in the harness is carring the power or if it is constant or variable...

Took a look at your gallery, I really dig the truck. I've got basically the same truck only mine doesn't have the dual tone paint job. Have you had any issues with yours? So far I've had the front brakes, rear power sliding window, and the fuse box all replaced under warranty. Luckily I bought an extended warranty on mine so by the time the thing is up I'll have most of the issues taken care of I hope.

No problem man. Yea I havent had any major issues. The only warranty work I had to get done was replace my center console lid cause the locking tab broke off and I had/have a clunk sometimes when accelerating. They replaced the driveshaft and greased things but it didnt fix it. Ford told the dealer its normal and not to try to fix it anymore. So, it doesnt happen very often and its more annoying than anything. Other than that I love the truck. And my rear slider works when it wants to, which seems to be quite a common issue.
Why you have to have the fuse box replaced?

You may want to dig up the TSB for the front brake issue known on the '04s; I wasn't really having problems just a little brake noise but the TSB calls for a full replacement of the calipers and rotors - all I had to do was show em the TSB and say they were making some noise and they replaced em free of charge. That rear window has been worked on twice now and they can't seem to get it fixed, really pisses me off, shoulda just gotten the sun roof instead.
