Head Unit Swap

Head Unit Swap
I apologize in advance. I know a million people have asked this question but I just can't find the answer.
I have a 2008 f150 with the factory radio receiver (no CD). I want to add an aux input for the cheapest price.
I do a lot of night driving and need to keep the dimming feature of my radio. Because of this, I just want to swap out my unit for a factory CD player and add the pie adapter unit that plugs into the radio. My problem is that my truck only has one plug on the back. Will the factory CD/radio work without the 2nd plug?
From http://logjam.d3datasolutions.com/fo...ype=post&id=72 This link, the plug I don't have is a data plug. If I just plug the pie adaptor into the unit and the regular speaker connector, will it work?
Thanks

Well, I got the radio today. I plugged it in and it seemed to work fine. The only problem is the lights on the buttons don't light up and the dimmer on the screeen doesn't work. I did some research and some results came up reffering to some sort of programming that can be don to the radio to make this work. Any ideas?
