Ok..i have a lariat with the center console shifter...so up above theres the black panel where the lighter and rear back up sensor switch is mounted....well i want to put in a mp3 jack there cause the one up on top annoys me that a cord is always hanging down the dash...anyone know where i can get a jack that will snap into a hole i drill in that???

 

Are you simply looking for a 3.5mm (or whatever the dimension is) port basically? Does your truck have the jack from the factory, or is this something you are adding?

 

I'm listening...I hate where they put the factory jack. Even though I live in a safe area, I'll be damned if I'm going to leave an iPod touch sitting up there.

 

"3.5mm stereo (f-f) panel mt. 3/8" hole"

This should accomplish exactly what you are looking to do. You will simply need to undo the factory jack, and tuck it back into the dash, then run a M-M stereo cord from it, to one end of this panel mount.

 

Need pics of where you're mounting it to. I want to move mine.

 

Hum...thats what i need....but i want something cleaner looking....i'll get back to you all....

 

Custom: MP3 Car Audio Cable - 3.5mm Female Panel Mount to Stereo RCA Audio | ShowMeCables

K...this is getting closer....actually it would work...but i want something a little cleaner looking without the nut and threads on it...anyone know of anything?

 

The nut and thread about be on the inside of your dash (or glovebox, or wherever you are mounting it). This is a panel mount (may or may not be a D hole), so all you would see on the face is the round step shown in the front of the product. You could drill damn near anywhere (Ive seen it done inside the dashboard compartment), for a stealth install that you never see.

 

Does anyone know if you can buy parts of a wiring harness seperate....for example...the wiring harness that goes up to the jack stock...is a funky 4 wire plug....i want to keep the stock input as well as the second one i'm installing...can i get the wiring that plugs into the jack from ford?

 

Splice the wires and make them longer.

 

Radio shack has one that will look stock, if my camera was working I would post some pics for you.But it has a black cover and I put it exactly where you want to and it fits perfectly.

 

Excellent.....i'll have to head over there later today.

thanks...

 

Ok...i went into my radio shack here....and they had NOTHING that had a black cover or anything similar......is there a part number or anything you saw on it?

 

subscribing to hear an answer...I want to play my iPhone through the factory radio

 

anyone.....I still need to find a better looking panel mount jack...
