  
 The CPFD03NSPD iPod interface connects to the rear of the factory radio of select 2004-2007 Ford and Mercury vehicles with built in Satellite radio control functions (Please see Specific Vehicle Application List below), and is designed to allow you to control your iPod directly with the factory radio using the Ford Sirius satellite radio controls, providing you with a more interactive iPod interface. This iPod interface will also charge the iPod while the iPod is connected, plus gives you the option of controlling the iPod through the factory radio, or controlling the iPod through the iPod itself, providing you the flexibility to use your iPod the way you want to use it!
 Installation is simple and uncomplicated, as your factory radio in the vehicles listed below will have either the 16-pin satellite radio connector, shown in the image at right, which is one of three connectors in Ford's "Phase II" 8-pin/16-pin/24-pin connector configuration. Or your factory radio will have the 20-pin satellite radio connector, also shown at right, which is one of two connectors in Ford's standard "World" 20-pin/16-pin connector configuration. You can click on either image to see a larger photo of the rear of each radio showing both connector configurations. This interface comes with both sets of wiring harness include, an exclusive Logjam Electronics feature, eliminating the need to remove the factory radio before you buy the device, just to see which set of connectors your factory radio has!
Depending on what factory options your vehicle has, there could already be a factory wiring harness plugged into the 16-pin or the 20-pin satellite radio connector. Both sets of wiring harnesses are designed with a 'Y' connector that allows you to reconnect any 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 or the 20-pin satellite radio connector, the female end of the 'Y' harness will remain empty after installation.
The factory radio’s Sirius satellite controls will be utilized to operate the iPod, allowing you to navigate by artist, album, playlist, and song title. In addition, your factory radio will display iPod text fields in the following manner:
Artist Name in 12 characters
Song title in 16 characters, shown 8 characters at a time when song is first selected and then 12 characters shown when doing a songs search
Album Title in 12 characters
Playlist Name in 12 characters
