I have posted a couple of questions in the satellite radio forum, but doesn't seem to get much attention there..Wondering if anyone knows how to use a factory head-unit, factory sirius unit, and still have an aux in port (like the 07+)?? Has anyone took apart their 07 and know how they do it?? I have seen the afterarket kits but I like the factory look/install. I already have a pie adapter and was told it won't work with the factory sirius module. I am trying to add a factory sirius module that I bought. Any help on the matter appreciated. One more question. The factory harness for the sirius to head unit, I looked up the part # on here and saw it sells for about $20 on www.getfordparts.com but I also see them sell on ebay for like $80+?? Is there diff types of harnesses...? Why the HUGE price diff?

I also just bought the sirius unit off Ebay..Now I am trying to track down the harness..I have 2 old portable unit antenna's that I can use. My mother works at a ford place.. I asked her to talk to the parts department.. the response.. $300 dollars.. Of course this must be for the entire sirius upgrade kit.. sigh..

Any help on the wiring harness would be great.. also.. where is the stock mounting location?

Thanks..

** Update** I finally got everything figured out. I went the easier route. I bought a cd6/mp3 audiophile from an 07 F150. This now gives me the aux-in that I need. I have the factory sirius box as well. Just need to order the harness for the sirius, aux-in tray and pigtail for the tray and wire it all in. I will post my results when I finish and poss some pics. I did verify that only the 07+ radios will support the aux-in tray direct (unless you add the PIE adapter) but I wanted both the sirius & aux-in together. The standard PIE adapter won't be able to recognize both. Here are the part #'s for anyone looking to do this.
Aux-in tray: 7L3Z-15042A82-AA
Pigtail for tray: WPT-465
Sirius harness: 6L3Z-14588-AA (I was told that this harness only supports the sirius and won't work if you have rear seat dvd)
Head unit I bought: 7L3T-18C815-EG (Audiophile cd6/mp3 from crew-cab)
Sirius unit I bought: 8L3T-18C963-AB

 

what was your total cost?

 

What about going to a wrecking yard and see if they have any 07's.
