lol...So I've heard.
so how are you guys running the cable from the rca breakout box to your external device?
do you just leave the ipod in the cupholder or your lap?
anyone considered something like this?:

I had pulled my stereo out back in November, and thank goodness I took pictures. The code on the sticker on my car looks like it will work :banana: . Mine has: 3R3T-18C815-UE
EDIT: In looking at my pictures - I don't see a 20 pin socket.... :shrug:

If installing the FRDN-AUX on an '03 unit, the grey with purple tracer wire on the frdn-aux goes to the violet (looks more like lavender to me) with light blue tracer wire on the factory j1 connector (pin 9). the black with green tracer wire on the frdn-aux goes to the black with green tracer wire on the j1 connector (pin 11).
press the cd button with the ipod on and it will say 'DJ Disc 1 Track 1' and play whatever is on your ipod.
neat stuff!

Like everybody. I have been following this thread for a long time. I have both an I-Pod and a XM Roady that I would love to get in my 04 Cobra.
I noticed that from the beginning of this, the part number was FRDN-AUX that worked for the 03's but not the 04's. Are we still talking about the same thing? It would seem that P.I.E would have a different part number for one that would work on the 04's
Please correct me if I am wrong.
I'm following this also. I have an 04 and an IPOD. I have been using one of the FM transmitters in the car. I am happy so far with the sound but if there was a plug available for the 04s I think I would get it.
I have also been messing around with ways to mount the IPOD, I am working on a mount that will fit in the rear cup holder and let you adjust the angle of the IPOD, and yet does not interfere with the shifter or the console box.
So will this new wiring harness work in an 04 does any know? I don't know squat about this stuff so please keep the answers simple, lol.

For the iPod - I have been using the Belkin TuneDok (and it works great for me):

I have been using the FM modulator as well, but I know the sound could be better if wired in directly.

On this link, do you purchase the first one or the second one? There is a pre-wired RCA outlet one, and a non-pre wired (so im guessing you have to get RCA cables and run it that way)
I need help, and I am 100% sure it will fit my car just wondering which one is easier to deal with?

ShelbyGuy. Excellent custom install. If you could make something for the 03-04 Cobra's/Mustangs you'll do well. The location doesn't work for stick though. I use my arm rest 100% of the time. If you could find a way to take out one of the cup holders, preferably the front one, then I'd be right there.
This weekend I plan to install my FRDN-AUX (top one) and figure some sort of mount bracket for the ipod above the air vents or somewhere I can easily reach while driving. Spinning the 'circle' controller while driving is VERY dangerous because I look down too far for too long.
I recommend the U2 Limited edition for you 10th anniv. Cobras. Black unit, polished chrome back and red wheel. Looks like it was made for our cars. No. Not really.

I am slacking, I installed a 2.93" and 100mm idler this weekend with a tune, no time to pull the stereo. To be honest, I am not sure when i will get to it.

FRDN-AUX and use your own 1/8" stereo-->rca jacks pigtail.

Frankly I am wondering this myself. Is the harness integral with the central harness on these cars or is it a piggyback pigtail like the old Mach460 vs the cheaper stereos? I was thinking that it's a simple head unit plus pigtail swap for an 03 to 04 Mach 460 head for the satellite option.
ask for a scotch-lok connector. its originally a 3m product. any auto parts store will have them.

Neo Car audio?
has anyone tried the Neo Car Audio adapter in an 03 Cobra?
It is here: NEO
Looks to be similar to the P.I.E. FRDN-AUX, except perhaps better because it connects into the bottom of the iPod, so it will use the line level out (rather than the variable headphones output), and it also charges the iPod.

It says on the website it will work, so I bought it (it said it will work with the 815, which is what the 04s have). I went out and pulled the radio, and it's the wrong damn thing. Now I get to pay to ship it back! :banana: A great waste of $15 shipping here and back... only because some idiot doesn't feel like putting the right info up on their website. :fm:
