says in the users manual

" The HDMI input will allow you to view your COMPATIBLE smart phone's screen or any other device with a HDMI output on your Entertainment System's screen while the vehicle is NOT moving. This input does not offer control of the connected device; only the image and audio are accessible. FMVSS and local laws do not allow the viewing of video by a driver or in a
position the driver can video while the vehicle is moving. The system will automatically blackout the screen once the vehicle starts moving, but audio will still be heard."
This sounds very interesting. I'm trying to find more information on it and also a cost. I ended up installing a FM modulator in order to get a 3.5mm input jack.

Maybe I missed them, but I don't believe I've seen A/V inputs in my 2015 Lariat with MFT. Where are your A/V inputs located?

Aux audio input jack is listed in the 2016 f150 brochure. It is listed on the XLT trim , first colum on left equipment package 300a, 4th item down under the heading INTERIOR. I thought i saw it some where. I have hp pocket PC'S.

So who has a 2016 xlt with equipment package 300a . Wherd is aux audio input jack??

I think you lose that as you go to the 301a, and 302a cause of radio upgrade

Google 2016 ford f150 brochure it is a pdf around page 22

Default Question about the fm modulator

He did suggest i call an aftermarket accessory store in town that they use all the time to install aftermarket accessories. I talked to top dog there and he said the only option for these vehicles is the FM Modulator which plugs into the antenna on the back of the radio and has a toggle switch to turn it on/off. There are much better than FM transmitter, but still not what i had hoped for. Was really wanting something that would integrate directly with Sync 3. I know you can buy these online for around $60. The specialist I talked to had them installed for $199.

Not the ending i had hoped for but unless anyone else comes up with something else, I'm afraid i've reached the end. lol





Any idea what FM modulater you got installed?? I’m in he same situation I actually need an aux for my job. I ordered a FM modulator but I guess the antenna connection is different then the ones I’m use to seeing. I’d appreciate your help! Thanks!
