Hey guys, like most or all of the radios that are put in our trucks I have the normal CD, AM/FM, and AUX button. I am curious if anyone here knows how to wire in an iPod to the the AUX button. Even just a simple headphone jack would work so that I could plug it into my iPod or any other device. I really would like to get this button to serve a purpose because up until now I don't really see the use in it and the Dealership had no idea or insight on what to do with the button.

I know that some of the trucks come with the input in the dash on top of the center console (storage tray on dash). So that to me means that there is a way to make this work.

Any help would be appreciated.
In case this is relevant I have the 6-disc MP3 Changer radio. NO factory sub though.

 

huh, well i dont want to make ya feel bad, but i dont think you have the hook up in your truck. i believe that they added the auxiliary feature in 07.

 

I have an 06 (same radio as you described) and I had to buy and adapter from isimple.

 

My brandmotion adapter utilizes the aux button to activate the ipod. check out brandmotion.com for the unit

 

Will it work on an 04? Looks like the same radio in the video on the brandmotion's website. Like csx5197 I have the extra connection behind the radio and also have a 6 disc changer with Aux.

 

I had the same issue, with my old Tacoma I had installed a Ipod adaptor which was only $50. Isimple I believe was pretty expensive for the f-150, so I went and got an XM skydock, now I have an Ipod controller and satellite radio $119.

 

Yeah that looks like what I would like to do, but for that price I can re-install my aftermarket radio with my amp and sub.

I couldn't find where isimple was? Wouldn't mind checking out there prices.

 

google isimple.
