I know this is probably going to be a dumb question, but I just bought this truck and don't know how to find a quick answer.

The truck is a 2004 Lariat. It has a multi disc CD player. The original sticker says "Dual Media". It has an "Aux" button.

My question is what would I need to do to make the Aux button functional so that I can plug an Ipod into it?

Are there other F150 radios (perhaps from salvage) that I could buy that would have a jack to plug in???

I don't know why it would have an Aux button if there is no way for it to function, but like I said this is probably a dumb question.

 

Easy as P.I.E: https://www.f150online.com/forums/f-...head-unit.html

OR - A radio out of a 2007-2008 will have the Aux input enabled. Be sure to get the new 'tray' (black thang @ center/top of the dash) with the 3.5mm audio jack as well.

good luck

 

Right above the radio on top of the dash is the Aux port. You have a lariat you should have one, my FX4 has one.

 

Beat'cha agin!

Not on a 2004, yungin'. Only 2007 & later.....

Ya I noticed that, I'm always a day late and a dollar short ha
Hmm I never knew that, good to know.. Why do they have the aux button then if they don't have the plug in?

 

FIIK, buddy.

Here be whut'all th' man-well sayeth:

4. AUX: Press repeatedly to cycle
through FES/DVD (if equipped),
and SAT1, SAT2 and SAT3 modes
(Satellite Radio if equipped). If no auxiliary sources are available, NO
AUX AUDIO will be displayed.

Oohh so aux is also for DVD, SAT radio and stuff like that, good to know.. Learn something new everyday.

 

I have the Isimple adapter for the Iphone...Its about $ 100, but has worked almost flawlessly...you can run and charge an Iphone up to Iphone 4 (Iphone 5 and up if you get the Apple 30 pin to lightning adapter), and one headphone jack and one set of phono plugs...so up to 3 items...

I have been using since 05...but had one burn out about 4 years ago...just replaced the box...Still $ 100 at Best Buy...It installs in about 10 minutes with the harness adapter...

Regards!!

 

Another option would be hooking up a FM modulator with a 3.5 input for audio from any 3.5mm head phone jack IE cell phones, Ipods or any media with that jack.
