I just purchased a 2008 F-350 and I am trying to get my "line in" plug to connect to my iPhone. When I connect everything my radio says no connection to auxiliary. I am wondering if the plug is bad? And where could I find this plug? Figuring the name out to search is another ???
View 2 RepliesOn my '06 XL F350 I want to know if and how I can hook up an auxiliary input. It has the AUX button ,but it doesn't have any aux audio port in the dash anywhere like some of the nicer F-series have. When I push the AUX button, the screen reads "NO AUX AUDIO". Is there an adapter I can buy to plug in the back so I can actually have and auxiliary input?

View 10 RepliesI have a 2011 regular cab XL, and I just installed a Kenwood DDX770 that has a backup camera connection. I am installing an aftermarket camera. I would like to use the wire from the stereo and connect it to the steering column wire for reverse, but can't seem to locate it. I read other places that it is a black wire with a pink stripe, but I can't find that color under the dash.
View 3 RepliesThis will be the second time that i have had to change my antenna, the portal where the ant. goes into the back of radio rusts out so bad that i get no reception. the first go round i had to use #9 klein pliers to remove the antenna not to mention that when i cut the cable in two for easier removal ( behind the glove box), water was literally dripping from where i cut. I checked out the mounting pedestal on the top of the fender and it doesn't seem to me that it could leak but I am thinking that that has got to be where the water is getting in. The moisture was so bad that the head too was loaded with moisture, rust and corrosion inside of it.
View 2 RepliesI have an 08 f150. Doing an Alpine iva w203 head unit. The back of the factory radio has two harness plugs, one is bigger than the other. A third plug is the ant. which needs an adapter too....but the root question is...... The bigger of the two is the harness that adapts to plug into the new unit, what is the second OEM smaller plug for that has no spot to plug into the alpine unit? does it just sit there not plugged in now?
Is the second smaller plug for the steering wheel controls? is this where I connect the SWI-JACK adapter that allows the steering wheel controls from the truck to go to the radio? if so, where do i find a harness adapter to plug into this second OEM harness?
The display in the stereo in my crown vic died a while ago. It is the same single disc CD player used in the 99-03 superduty trucks.

View 14 RepliesLooking to upgrade it with an AUX input (from an iPhone), and with an integrated Sirius radio.
I prefer the look of OEM. Can I simply replace the radio with a newer OEM unit that has these features, or is it more complicated than that? If I can replace it with an OEM unit, which one?
My 06 Superduty had a plain jane AM/FM stereo. I got a 6CD MP3 replacement from a pick-a-part. I don't know the vehicle it came from, all I can say is that it was an SUV. The radio didn't look the greatest, but it worked. I went back to the junkyard to see if I could get the plug for the AUX line-in. I found a 2007 Fusion that had it so I grabbed the radio, cut the plug that goes into the back and grabbed that too. The line-in was in the center console so I cut that out too. There were seven wires coming out of the radio plug and four coming out of the line-in jack. I connected the four wires because they were the same color on both ends. One was a black wire that ran to a foil shield that encased part of the harness. I guess the other two go to the CAN bus? I don't know, there is no provision for them in my truck. The fusion radio takes a different antennae plug and the face doesn't work. When I plug in the line-in plug that I wired up, it only works on one channel. When I plug it into the radio from the SUV and hit the AUX button, it says NO AUX. Do I need one of those PIE connectors, or is there a way to make my pigtail work?
View 2 RepliesOur 6CD Radio indicates all the CD Slots are full and there are no CD's in it. It will not "load", just says "CD Error". I purchased another USED radio same exact Model # and it does the same thing. Do I have (2) bad radio's which do the exact same thing? Or is there something else in the vehicle which would make the radio's indicate this? Like rear controls?

Is there a male or female adapter that i can plug it to it and the splice the other end to the harness that i bought?

View 1 RepliesMy friend left the windows open in my 2003 ford escape while it was raining, and now my radio won't work.. Nothing shows up on the led(I think?) part where the time and radio station are supposed to show.. The only thing that works on the radio is that when you turn the headlamps on, the numbers, buttons, and volume dial light up.. Will the radio need to be replaced? Or is there something I can do to fix it
View 2 RepliesJust installed a new jvc kd-s48 stereo and it cuts out for a half a second every couple seconds. Kind of like a scratched cd but it's with the tuner and mp3. The sound "stumbles" and then it very quickly raises back up. it sort of seems like if I wiggle the wires in the back it'll stop. I will check all connections, I use female and male spade connectors and then shrink wrap over each connection. Could it be a faulty deck?
View 5 RepliesI have a 1999 F-350 crew cab. I have a fusion active bass tube in the back, and my family went to Tahoe, so I took out all the bass tube but the wires had to be left in the truck. I thought I capped the wires but I guess I didn't or the cap came off. Anyways, I was plugging the wires back into the bass tube when I got home and there was a big spark, I think the ground wire and the wire connected to the battery touched. Now the radio does not work at all. I'm guessing I blew a fuse, I don't know how to fix it, or what fuse that would need to be replaced.
