Default iPOD adapter for F150's

Does anyone have an iPOD adapter for their trucks yet?? I got one from Crutchfield about 3 weeks ago and am just putting up some pics of. Install only took me about 5 minutes after the dash was off and the cd player was out. Here's some pics of. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I've done many of these and they're soooo easy it's ridiculous.






As you can see I ran the wire from the iPOD to the iPOD interface through the "Line In" adapter. All you do is simply unclip the "Line In" hook and push it through. Like I've said before Crutchfield is awesome and I had this in like 2 business days. I'm COMPLETELY happy with it and if you've got the MP3 player it will tell you the song title and the artist that is currently being played. Once again if you have any questions feel free to ask as I'm sure I can answer all of them. Enjoy!!!!

Looks good.

Is your Valentine hard wired?

I just got one for the girlfriends focus, I should have it in here car in a few minutes, lol

it was something like 169 shipped, and it can be used with her factory 6 disk in dash changer, and steering wheel controls.

No the Valentine 1 isn't hard wired. I had it in the GP but never did it and I actually lost the wiring to do it. It just plugs into one of the power outlets but all the wiring is hidden.

And Ty mine was the same price. All I have to do is select "cd" and I can listen to cd's. I'm more than happy with it and think it's the best $170 I've spent.

the aux in is just an audio jack, the adapter controls the files through the headunit.

True. It's ALOT clearer quality also. And since mine is an MP3 player it says the name of the artist and song. I don't think it will do it if you use the Line In jack.

Yeah you can on a cd with multiple files and I can also do it through my iPOD. I've like 10 different playlists that I can cycle through either through the headunit or through the steering wheel controls. I'm done with listening to cd's in the truck.
