Just thought I would let all you 2004 Cobra/Mach460 CD-6 people know about the latest developments in Aux-input.
The FRD03-AUX/S converts the Satellite Radio Port of the satellite capable Ford/Lincoln/Mercury radio (with the 16 & 24 pin "phase II" style connectors) to auxiliary input. Devices such as XM Satellite Radio, VCR, MP3, Video Game Systems, and DVD can be added to the Ford OEM radio without FM modulation. DPX technology maintains full function of all factory built-in steering wheel and rear seat controls.

Satellite capable radios are identified by a "SAT" button.

P.I.E. FRD03-AUX/S FRD03AUXS: 69.95
2004-2005 Ford
Satellite-Ready Radio
Auxiliary Input Converter
(Shipped) Subtotal 69.95
Shipping 7.50
Tax 0.00
Total 77.45

We'll see how this works in my 2004 Cobra soon enough.

"Foreign Orders:

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

Is there a version of the P.I.E FRDN-AUX that plugs into the bottom of the ipod?
My biggest concern is charging, not necessarily controling the ipod from the oem radio console.

I think this is all you guys really need. You won't have the control from the factory head unit but I really don't care. I will have great sound quality, no fm modulator crap, I can keep my stock 04 COBRA head unit & I doesn't cost too much. :beer:

My question is, doesn't the back of our head units have an input that allows an axillary unit to be integrated. I know it's there for a XM radio or something but I have that at home... ? Let me know if this cable will work... ? :shrug:

Don't think that will work with the factory radio.

Don't think that will work with the factory radio.

I think you are right. Damn, I thought I found a cheap good alternative to the $225 or $250 NEO unit...

So with the new converter, I can get my XM to work and mp3 player to work or is it one or the other?

Did this on my 03 yesterday. Piece of cake and great writeup.
