I am thinking about getting a newer headunit for my FX4 so I can use my iPod and my MP3 discs that I have laying around. It looks like it will be cheaper for me to simply swap my '04 headunit for a newer headunit that has the iPod and MP3 capabilities. The audiophile units are not necessary nor wanted and the satellite radio more than likely will not be used....so, which HU should/could I go with?


I don't mind electrical work, but it would be nice to have something that simply plug in and was ready to work...besides buying the tray and input thing for the iPod.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Well, I just did exactly that... looks like several people are interested as I am just going thru and helping answer questions and this seems to be a theme. Sooo...

I swapped my '04 in dash changer for a 2006 In Dash changer. I got a NON audiophile unit and it is PLUG AND PLAY with an '04. From what I read, an '07 uses a different antenna connector.

I used EBAY - and added the factory Sirius tuner as well. All I had to do was trim the yellow plastic away so I could install a generic Sirius antenna that I got from a local stereo shop.

Best part is, I can fully browse my Ipod with the adapter I got. I just did a review of it if interested- don't want to type it all out again.
