Aux Audio Jack
I have an ipod, can I just plug that into the audio jack and hear it through the radio? Or did I have to get the Trip Tunes Advanced? What is that anyways?
TIA |
Yes, you can plug directly into that jack and listen to your iPod (Assuming you have an '07 and you're talking about the jack in the center console). You won't be able to see your songs thru the radio, but just keep the ipod out of the console, or setup a playlist.

where exactly is the aux jack located and does it come standard with an 07 v6 premium? also, what does it plug into? the iPod itself? and this will transmit my iPod music through the radio frequencies right? so is there no point in getting advanced trip tunes or itrip or other type of FM transmitter? I'm confused. thanks :nice:
|
the plug is inside the center console like the other guy said. Yes it is standard, it is just a simple audio jack that goes from you ipods headphone port to the plug in the car.:screwy:
|
Does anyone have an update in retro fitting 05 and 06 mustangs with the Aux Jack?
|
Anyone recommend a good wire for this jack or pretty much any stereo cable will do?

Also you're going to need to buy a audio cable to connect your ipod to the aux jack, prolly pick one up at Radio Shack or simmilar. |

This is all you need (or similar) http://rsk.imageg.net/graphics/produ...993835w345.jpg |
Make sure it has the two black rings as shown in the photo above. One ring means it's mono only! :doh:
I think the size is 3.5 mm. :nice: |

Either of them will work. It's much better than using FM. Turn your iPod volume up to about 7/8, maybe a bit less, then crank the head unit.
|
MUCH better than FM trans! Thanks Ford and Steve Jobs!

You just need one of the aforementioned cables. Fortunately for my car, I replaced the whole unit, and got a box, for a CD changer hookup, if I wanted it later, well I eventually bought the Kenwood iPod adaptor that hooks into the port, not the headphone jack. It also charges the iPod, and the sound is immaculate!

Seems like a lot of trouble to go through. Why not just get one on those new stereos with the flash memory card slot. No CD changer, no Ipod/MP3 player, no moving parts! :nice:
Here's a link to my tread that I started in the Audio forum. :grin: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=67696

Do you have a link for that iPod adapter?
For what you want, the 3.5" cable is fine. Sound is CD quality or better. The only way to get better sound is with trip tunes advanced, so it's using the data port from the iPod, but that's about $250. |

http://www.amazon.com/Ipod-Dock-Conn.../dp/B000J022G6 Much better sound quality than through the headphone jack, volume is constant (meaning you don't have to mess with the volume on the ipod - just on the car stereo), and works with the aux jack in the console. |
