Available Ports on the back of the OEM Stereo
Hi folks,
I've been trolling the forums for a while and have finally decided to register and ask the community a couple (of what I hope) are simple questions.
For reference I have the base stereo, w/ the rear collision sensor, and free six months of satellite radio. There is a separate "Aux" button on the face of the unit.
Q1 - The documentation that I have read indicates that the 2010 F150's come with a USB port underneath the temperature controls (and beside the aux port). I do not have a USB port. Is the USB port(s) limited to the SYNC upgrades?
Q2 - My understanding is that to connect an external device ipod) it is recommended to use one of the PIE cable harnesses. Does this special harness allow me to control the playback of the ipod through the head unit?
Q3 - Ultimately I would like to connect a PC into the system. Has anyone seen anything which would allow me to connect a TOSLink or digital signal into the stock head unit?
