FINALLY!!!! After months and months of waiting I got good news from the folks at Peripheral Electronics about the iPod2Car adaptor for the 2004+ F150.

It will be ready soon, by soon I mean within 3 months. It most likely will not be released in time for the Christmas season.

For those of you who don't know what the iPod2Car does, it allows you to connect an iPod to the factory radio and control it through the buttons on the radio. It charges it too. No more messing with crappy RF adaptors and the click wheel while driving!!
3 months can't come soon enough!

 

Cool, too bad i have a aftermarket HU

 

Cool, keep us posted.

 

Will the iPod2Car work w/ an audiophile pkg? cost?

and will it also continue to work or how does that work if I end up getting a JL cleansweep?

 

It'll work with the audiophile unit. I'm pretty sure all the Ford radios in the new trucks have the same wiring plug. I think the cost is between $150-200, maybe cheaper, depending on where you get it from. I think some go for almost $200 @ Best Buy, but I have seen them on ebay for like $120. I don't know what a JL cleansweep is, but the iPod2Car is designed to work with your factory radio only.

 

What does this unit add over the PIE unit?

 

This unit is for use only with the iPod. What it adds is the ability to control the iPod through the use of the buttons on the factory head unit. No more messing around with the iPod. All it's functions are now accessable from the head unit and I believe that it also works with the steering wheel controls if you're lucky enough to have them.

 

Ahh... I see. That's pretty cool.

 

I want one

 

That sounds cool! Is there a Web Site to purchase them when they come out, or will they be in stores?

 

I have seen them for sale in Best Buy. They run right around $200. I think the website is www.ipod2car.com. I don't think you can purchase them directly through the website, rather you have to find an authorized retailer.

 

Cool...Thanks a lot, I'll look for it.

 

I'm chomping at the bit waiting for it to come out.

 

sounds like it will be coming out right around my birthday. perfect.



Wish list:

1)Black iPod Nano
2)iPod2car Adaptor

 

Is there a connection for another input? Like a satellite radio?
