Antenna Adaptor

Ok, I made the "big mistake" I assumed my 06 F250 had the new antenna plug & bought a 08 F150 radio.
The question is: Is there an adaptor ya can buy to make the connection if so where & p/n.
Thanks for help, cause Radioshack wasn't any help on the phone.

Can you post a picture of what the 08 radio antenna input looks like? I didn't realize they changed them.

I think it may be this one, but I am not 100% sure.

Call them and I think they should be able to verify it for you.

I think you will need this one. Some of the newer style plugs use the same as the Chrysler antenna adapters.

Metra: 40-cr20

Yeah, same thing I was looking at, except Scosche went ahead and labeled it for Fords and not just Chrysler vehicles.

I haven't seen the one you are talking about in person, but from the pic it may be a bit different (more slender/longer metal adapter vs. thicker plastic adapter). Scosche also has a Chrysler adapter that looks like the cr7 he bought. Is it the same but just metal?

I wish some of the pics I can find of the FDARB had a closeup of the radio connector end.
