I agree. I REALLY expected the '04 to support MP3...especially since my '03 Ranger had the MACH CD system that DID support MP3 in the single disc player.

 

i just bought a 04 fx4 and i have the audiophile and i also want to play mp3's

 

Okay here are the FACTS: If you have an 04 Ford F-150 there is no way you have MP3 capability. If you have an 05 Ford F-150 there is a chance you have MP3 Capability just look on the headunit if it says MP3 then you have it, if it doesnt then you dont. Also it is an OPTION, meaning it is not standard on any model and you must Pay for it for it to be on the truck. If you want you can purchase the 05 deck from ford as well as on ebay. The new freestar and the 500 both use the same deck the FORD part # is 4S4T-18C815-AH. I have thought about purchasing one, but instead think I may buy aftermarket. Hope this ends the confusion and just so you know PIE does not yet make an AUX adapter but will have one in the very near future no exact ETA.

Can anyhone confirm that the 05 mp3 deck works fine on an 04? Would love to be able to play mp3s.

 

I just went and picked up my 05 FX4 SC the window sticker says premium 6 disc with mp3. I was so into driving it 90 miles back to the dealer that I am purchasing it from I failed to look to see if the HU had anything printed on it. They are doing some prep work and such I am picking it up on Saturday. The mp3 was a big selling point with me as I don't want to swap out the HU yet.

 

if ur sticker says mp3 it better play mp3 or you can make them swap it out for one that plays mp3. I wouldnt worry to much about it in that case.
