iPod and usb device solution..
http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=1116
This product looks very promising. You can add iPod and/or a usb drive and control it thought the stock stereo. Put a nice 8gb memory stick on there! |
Looks VERY interesting. I am not an APPLE fan but I would like to and the USb feature and the HD Radio. Good find!!
|
Yeah, the USB is really what I would use it for. I wonder if you could hook a portable hard drive up to it. Use a 110 converter for it's power. 500gb of music would sure be nice.
|
500GB!? I'm never in my truck long enough to even go through 2GB. :D

500Gb...what about 1 Terabite? You can never have too much music or movies or pics or.....man a terabite is large.
|
Yeah, problem with too much is it would be a pain to navigate via the OEM head unit display. I think all my music takes up about 80-110gb.
The usb port would be nice for those small usb flash drives though. |
I guess there can too much of a good thing.
|
has anyone used this with the nav radio yet?
|
SYNC would solve this
SYNC would be a factory solution to this problem and is already available in other Ford lines. Anybody heard when this might be available in the EXPY?
Hello Ford..Bueller.. Bueller.. Are you there? |
I found out you cannot retro SYNC to the 2007 or 2008s. The only thing we can add back is the bluetooth feature. BUT you must have the nav system.
|
That doesn't make sense. Why can we not retro add the SYNC system? Did they change all of the wire harnesses? I assumed it was a head unit swap along with at least one new harness for the USB and Bluetooth. It seems cost ineffective to change everything, but then again this is Ford.
Does anyone know for sure what SYNC involves? |

"info@discountcarstereo.com" According to peripherals the PXAMG is compatible with Navigation radios with SAT button (accessed via the Navigation menu). Will also retain SAT radio and/or RSE (if so equipped). http://www.discountcarstereo<WBR>.com/detail.aspx?ID=1116 Hope this helps.

(my reply) have you tested it on a navagation touch screen head unit? it has a line in button that will access a stereo jack for ipods. (From him) Yes we have. The only thing the PXAMH-HDRT is not compatible with is Ford vehicles equipped with a “Sync” system. I am having for replace my nav unit under warranty So i'll post with the impression of the "Radio Guy" in the next few weeks. ********><!--D(["mb","\u003cspan class\u003dq\>\n\n\u003cp\>\u003cb\>\u003ci\>\u003 cfont size\u003d\"4\" color\u003d\"green\" face\u003d\"BakerSignet BT\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:14.0pt;color:green;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic\"\>*\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/i\>\u003c/b\>\u003c/p\>\n\n\u003cdiv\>\n\n\u003cp\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"5\" color\u003d\"green\" face\u003d\"Arial Black\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:18.0pt;color:green\"\>*\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"5\" color\u003d\"#004000\" face\u003d\"Lydian Csv BT\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:18.0pt;color:#004000\"\>**\u003cem\>\u003ci\> \u003cfont face\u003d\"Lydian Csv BT\"\>\u003cspan\>*\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/i\>\u003c/em\>\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003cem\>\u003ci\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"5\" color\u003d\"#317936\" face\u003d\"Lydian Csv BT\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:18.0pt;color:#317936\"\> \u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/i\>\u003c/em\>\u003cfont color\u003d\"green\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"color:green\"\>\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/p\>\n\n\u003cp\>\u003cstrong\>\u003cb\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"5\" color\u003d\"#004000\" face\u003d\"Lydian Csv BT\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:18.0pt;color:#004000\"\>***\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/b\>\u003c/strong\>\u003cstrong\>\u003cb\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"5\" color\u003d\"green\" face\u003d\"Lydian Csv BT\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:18.0pt;color:green\"\>*Ernie Hartman\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/b\>\u003c/strong\>\u003cfont color\u003d\"green\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"color:green\"\>\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/p\>\n\n\u003cp\>\u003cstrong\>\u003cb\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"5\" color\u003d\"green\" face\u003d\"Lydian Csv BT\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:18.0pt;color:green\"\>**Technical\nAdvisor\u0 03c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/b\>\u003c/strong\>\u003cfont color\u003d\"#317936\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"color:#317936\"\>\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/p\>\n\n\u003cp\>\u003cb\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"5\" color\u003d\"#004000\" face\u003d\"Lydian Csv BT\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:18.0pt;color:#004000;font-weight:bold\"\>\u003cimg width\u003d\"203\" height\u003d\"86\" src\u003d\"?ui\u003d1&attid\u003d0.1&disp\u003demb &view\u003datt&th\u003d11682db18a08606f\" align\u003d\"baseline\" border\u003d\"0\"\>\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/b\>\u003cfont color\u003d\"green\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"color:green\"\>\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/p\>\n\n\u003cp\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"3\" color\u003d\"green\" face\u003d\"Times New Roman\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:12.0pt;color:green\"\>*\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/p\>\n\n\u003cp\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"2\" color\u003d\"green\" face\u003d\"Arial\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:green\"\>*** \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.peripheralelectronics.com\" target\u003d\"_blank\" onclick\u003d\"return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\"\>www.perip heralelectronics.com\u003c/a\>\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/p\>\n\n\u003c/div\>\n\n\u003c/span\>",1]);//-->*********> |

Peripherial Electronics
you guys are not going to believe this,
The corporate headquarters of AAMP (peripherial electronics) is located 5 minutes from my house. I am going to contact them tomorrow to get some verbal reassurance on this subject. Upon looking at the user manual it looks as if it will work on the navagation radio. I ma concrened about the "CAM_BUS" requirement as well as an LCD cable that is not available yet. Here is the company press release: http://www.aampofamerica.com/web/pre...ral.asp?ID=138 |
