So far I've gone through 2 Peripheral PXDP2($99) adapters. They worked great for about a day and then I can't get any connection. I called Peripheral and they basically said the adapter and the radio aren't connecting for some reason, duh. He said there's nothing I can do. I know there are 2 other brands out there. Brandmotion($245) and PIE($169). Has anyone had any experience with any of these adapters? I want one that I can control my ipod through the radio. Thanks

 

I have the exact same problem...I'm on my second Peripheral box. Sounds like they have a problem with the Ford's. Mine is the PXAMG box, which is a newer model than yours, but I guess it still doesn't work. I am really peeved about this after spending the money on it.

Anyone have other brands that work?

I don't have this one, or any one yet, but it seems to be a decent setup. There are different levels from 1 to 5 with each one offering more options with each level.

 

i tried the periperhal one, had hooked up and everything but
it never would read when i hit the aux button through my oem radio
05 lariat w/audiophile btw
any ideas why it didnt work
it doesnt have MP3 printed on it, but it show the song names and what not,
im thinkin mayb the previous owner took the word Mp3 off???

 

I have the peripheral one, had for over a year. Still works just fine.

BTW- my truck is an 07 with the audiophile and factory sirrus, had to disconnect the sirrus, it interfered with the ipod.

 

05BLACKF150 - I have justed installed one of these in my truck but I don't own an MP# player just yet. I had to do some wiring and thought I would take care of this while I was in there.
On another note, I was curious how you liked your Superlift lift kit on your truck?

 

I have the newer peripheral adapter that will work along with the factory sirius. It works great.

 

I really like the Superlift. It rides smooth and looks great with the skidplate.
I have had no problems with noises or aligment. I only wish I would have went with 35" tires. Then it would be perfect to me.

 

i just got my PIE unit from DiscountCarStereo.com (authorized PIE dealer) for $129ish. 2day shipping was ~ $16, bringing me to ~ $145 shipped....$15 cheaper than Crutchfield and shipping was twice as fast.

i plan on installing it tomorrow or friday. i'll post my results

 

update: VERY very happy with my PIE ipod interface. controls are easy to learn, SQ is decent (considering im still running the factory HU/speakers, Cleansweep and amps havent gone in yet), and (at least for me) switches between artists fast enough to not get annoyed
