Well I've searched high and low but don't kill me if this one is already out there somewhere 9which frankly I can't believe it is not).

I have a 2000 Lariat (5.4) with a cd changer in the console. CD player is essentially useless (in my mind) given mp3 player popularity. I have seen posts in other forums regarding hacking into the wiring from the CD changer to the head unit and installing a 3.5mm socket so that a 3.5mm cable can be attached from any mp3 player (just like the modern days).

I do know using an un-switched socket requires the use of a CD with no noise recording on it and therefore a switched socket is the way to go. What I need is some details on how to wire the socket into the cabling.

Again, if this is out there somewhere, please just point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Tim
