RAMBUNCTIOUS, will the wiring for the DVD player to the AUX input on the radio be available. I want ot have my dealer put the DVD in but don't want to use the Fm Modulator. I have not called them yet, you know more about it then they do.

I hope to have a definitive answer tomorrow. I spoke with our Rail program manager today regarding this and he said he will find out when the wire kit will be available. i will post when i find out.

I am curious to know as I just purchased a 2004 FX4, and want to hook up my MP3 player direct to the factory stereo, but have been on the road for business for the first 2weeks of ownership (therefore manual-less), are there RCA jacks on the back of the stock stereo or is there some harness that has to be purchased as in the case for the DVD?

thx,

This is just a test to see if I set my account up right.
Sorry

 

There are no RCAs in the back of the radio. As of now, no harnesses are available for purchase, either. Hopefully something comes out soon

 

so when i push that AUX button the stereo it should be switching to something, i assume probably to a proprietary plug on the back of the stereo? Has anyone crawled behind the dash to look at this or is even possible to get in there with out major dash removal?
I am dying to get home to my truck and check this out, business trips suck, as my 2week old truck sits at home waiting to be driven in some fresh snow....

BP:



i have pulled my dash apart though. I installed one of our DVD players using an FM modulator, since the wire harness was not available when I got my truck.

the outer rim bezel (silver on my FX4) pulls away with 6 spring clips. if you open the ash tray and start with pulling the bottom. just don't break anything, as i cant image parts are readily available yet for service.

but you will find that there are no rca jacks. The Aux only works currently with our DVD player which uses Ford's CAN Electrical buss. there are aftermarket people back engineering the harness (soundgate???) but don't have anything to date that I am aware of.

 

Ramb, sorry to bother, but I was thinking about getting the DVD for my fiance for Christmas. Were you able to get any word on the a harness to go from the CAN Buss to the DVD?
Thanks,
Adam

 

sorry FX. i stopped by the prog manager's office today and he was at Ford ( go figure)

i'll try to check tomorrow, but i am quite sure that you won't be able to order it for Christmas
