2004 F150 with 2008 HU and Sirius Tuner
Hi,
I am trying to install a sirius tuner in my 2004 f150. So I bought a Sirius tuner off ebay and bought a 2008 HU CD-6 with MP3 off craigslist part number 8L1T 18C815GB. I also bought a wiring harness from ford 6L3Z 14588-AA to connect the HU with the sirius tuner. When I plug in the radio and press aux all I get is a Line In. No audio or menu. That is it. I used the cig lighter for power green/violet positive and the other wire I used to ground on the same cig plug. Does anyone have any ideas what I doing wrong. Do I have to program the radio? Will this model radio work with a sirius tuner?
Thanks

Yes I upgraded my stock HU for the MP3/CD6 Audiophile unit from higher end models. When I first installed it everything worked except my sub(because I used the sub out on the radio) and my CD6 function(it would only take 1 cd at a time). Took it to the dealer and they charged me $50.00 and about 10 min. and I was on my way everything working. Do not know about the backlighting I took it to the dealer the same day I installed it so never got around to using it at night pre-dealership.
