We recently bought my wife an 06 Expedition and I'd like to be able to run my (or my wife's) iPod.

I'm trying to figure out if I have RSE or not, as from what I've found online, neither of these are compatible with my truck.

FRD03-AUX100
FRD03-AUX/S

According to their application guide, RSE means a DVD player? I thought it was just rear seat volume control?

The other, the FRD03-AUX/S will work as long as I don't have a factory satellite radio and no RSE. This is probably the one I'd go with.

If RSE means DVD, then I'm good to go as I don't have a DVD player, but I just want to be sure.

And while I got you guys here, how hard is it to pull the radio to install the pie adapter?

 

RSE stands for "Rear Seat Entertainment". It's a package consisting of its own DVD player with headphone jacks for the audio.

To pull your radio, just pick up a set of Ford radio removal tools for a couple of bucks from any auto parts store. Insert the tips into the corresponding holes in the radio faceplate until you feel a slight click, push the tools outward slightly, and pull the radio out using the tools. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of it.

 

Yeah, that's not gonna happen, as the radio doesn't have those holes for a radio removal tool.

Thanks for your reply though, I guess I'm good to go as soon as I figure out how to remove the radio.

 

It,s very easy to pull radio. Remove the trim around the radio and instrsment cluster. I snaps in and has 2 7mm screws holding. Unhook wires from the controls andmove it out of the way. The radio is mounted wit 2 7mm screws also. Thats all there is to it.

 

Oops. Sorry about that. I figured since my 07 Mariner still used that technique, the 06 Expy would likely do so also.

I checked the WSM (belatedly...)and jhva's procedure follows it.
