Product Description:
The CPFD04AUX3.5 Auxiliary Input Converter connects to the Satellite/Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) data port of many 2005-2010 Ford CAN-Bus factory radios (Please see Specific Vehicle Application List above), to create an external auxiliary input that you can then use to connect the audio from any external audio source, like the audio from an MP3 player, a portable DVD player, computer, video game, any audio device that has a 3.5mm earphone jack output. Comes complete...nothing else to buy.
This auxiliary input converter connects to the 16-pin connector that is located on the back of the factory radio, shown in the image at right (Click image to see larger photo). Depending on what factory options your vehicle has, there could already be a factory wiring harness plugged into the 16-pin radio connector. The wiring harness that comes with this interface is designed with a 'Y' connector that allows you to reconnect the factory wiring harness, if so equipped, once the interface is installed, keeping all existing factory options functional. If there is no factory wiring harness plugged into the 16-pin connector, the 16-pin 'Y' harness will remain empty after installation.

Once this device is installed, you will have created an auxiliary audio input into your factory radio. This aux input has both a 3.5mm earphone-type plug plus left & right RCA-type connectors (both shown at left). Having both types of audio connectors will provide universal connectivity for any type of connection you’ll need. This will allow you to connect any external audio source using the supplied connectors and play the audio from that external audio source directly through your factory radio speakers. This is NOT an FM Modulator or a cassette adapter but a direct connection into your factory radio. Therefore, you will get the highest digital quality audio possible without noise, FM bleadthrough or cassette ‘hiss’.
