External Media on Truck Sound System

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to hook up an Ipod/Zune to my '05 F-150 stereo??? I've want to get to the back of my Factory stereo but am reluctant to tear up my dash.

Also, I'm new to this site and posting messages doesn’t look the same as other Forums I belong to. How do you post pic's??? I don't see any buttons that allow me to upload photo's...

Which stereo do you have? A lot of the periperal add-ons don't seem to like the in-dash cd changers.

You should be able to open up the "advanced messaging" window (right next to the "Post quick reply" button) and be able to post a picture with a reasonable size. If you need to downsize the pic there are a few online options for that.
If you don't see it... it maybe because you are under a certain number of posts for it to work. I can't recall what the pic policies are as of right now.

The factory stereo's are easier to take out of our trucks then anything I have ever worked on. Start at the top pull on the plastic bezel that goes around your stereo (may take some force the first time), disconnect the passenger airlight bag and take out the 4 10mm bolts around your radio. that's it

I have the factory 6 cd changer. I'll take a look behind the stereo this weekend.

Nope, I don't have the post pic option yet...

might i add that we have alot of room in there too to work with. i found out if you take the top dash tray off, you can see alot better. when i put my Pioneer Advic D3 with the BTB-200 and all of my video cables for my reverse cam, i still had room for all of my amp cables and stuff.
