Our take on the P.I.E Aux Input Adapter For Ford

This adapter lets you listen to a portable MP3 player or just about any other external source through select Ford sound systems, by converting the CD changer input on the factory radio into an auxiliary input. The 14-1/2" cable has the factory-compatible 16- & 24-pin connectors at one end and female RCA plugs at the other. Warranty: 90 days.

Note: Any CD changer connected to the stereo must be disconnected to use this adapter. Please enter your vehicle information or call a Sales Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to find out if this adapter is compatible with your vehicle.

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features

Overview: The FRD04-AUX converts the Rear Seat Entertainment port of specified OEM Ford/Lincoln/Mercury "CAN-BUS" radios to RCA level audio inputs. This adapter features a built-in audio level adjustment circuitry (from 0 to +20 dB/0.475-4.75V) which allows you to match the audio levels of the auxiliary input to other sources on your factory receiver. Note: This adapter is not compatible with vehicles that are equipped with the OEM Rear Seat Entertainment system, navigation, or factory satellite radio.

Compatibility: This adapter is compatible with some, but not all, of the radio models found in the following vehicles:

  • 2004-2005 Ford F-150 Pickup
  • 2005 Ford F-250 Pickup
  • 2005 Ford F-350 Pickup
  • 2005 Ford F-550 Pickup
  • 2005 Ford Focus Sedan
  • 2005 Ford Freestyle
  • 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  • 2005 Ford Mustang
  • 2006 Lincoln Mark LT
  • 2005 Mercury Montego

Note: Please check "Outfit My Car" to verify compatibility.

Connections: The adapter has a 14.5" cable to interface between the factory radio and the adapter; a 16-pin Molex harness plugs into the factory radio and a corresponding harness connects to the OEM cable removed from the radio; the other end has a 10-pin Molex which plugs into the adapter.

Works Great

Written By Curtis, Greenville, SC on Wednesday, January 26, 2011
 
Not a real easy install. The hardest part was removing and reinstalling the plastic center
radio bezell without breaking it which I managed not to do. You have to pull on it pretty
hard to get the clips to release. I installed the convertor in the plastic tray below the
retractable cup holder on velcro so it wouldn't slide around or vibrate. I cut a hole in the
end of the tray so I could connect the wiring harness from the inside which barely
reached. If I need to adjust it or replace it (if a channel goes out like other reviews stated)
then I can do it without removing anything. Works and sounds great. Switch the factory
stereo to aux and you can control your iPod volume and mute from the dash. The
convertor looks and feels cheap so that's why I posted 4 stars instead of 5. I hope it will
hold up for a long time.

Convenient Adapter

Written By Dave, Upstate NY on Sunday, November 07, 2010
 
While I could have upgraded the entire head unit to gain an mp3 input, I preferred the look of the factory unit to aftermarkets. Installed in about an hour. Plenty of room in the dash for the small adapter. Cables are plenty long. Found instructional videos on YouTube for head unit removal. Huge improvement over FM adapter. Adjustable gain on unit is great to compensate for weaker iPod output, however, it will clip if turned up too high with iPod on full volume. Otherwise, a great improvement to the factory stereo.

Good Product

Written By Paul, Dallas, TX on Monday, February 15, 2010
 
This is the only line-in option I found for the 2006 Ford F250 SD. The truck is easy to work on and Crutchfield's step-by-step made it easier. The reviews aren't very positive, but again, this is about the only option for the 2006. I have no issues with installation, setting the gain pot, or sound quality.

Channel Failure

Written By Tim, Baton Rouge, La on Saturday, June 27, 2009
 
This adaptor worked great until the left channel went out.
Checked all connections & power OK.
I have this unit running off aux power switch on dash (2007 F-250 SD).
Sometimes I can get it to work for a little while when I flip the aux power
switch ON and OFF real fast.
Kinda leary about buying another after reading reviews.
