Ford Radio Removal Instructions
Product Description:
The FRD03-POD/S iPod™ interface connects to the rear of the factory radio of select 2004-2006 Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicles with built in Satellite radio control functions (Please see Specific Vehicle Application List), 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, as the interface plugs into the satellite radio connector at the rear of your factory radio using the vehicle-specific cable that comes with the interface. You then simply plug the iPod into the provided iPOD dock cable and start enjoying your iPod music library.
Your vehicle could have one of two different factory radios, each with a different connector configuration. There are two different iPod interfaces made to fit both radios, the FRD03-POD/S and the FRDN-POD/S. Both of these radios look identical from the dash so there isn't any way to tell which radio you have so you can order the correct part until you pull the radio. One could be Ford's "Phase II" 8-pin/16-pin/24-pin three connector configuration, with the 16-pin satellite radio connector being the active connector for the interface, shown in the top image at far right. You can click on the image to see a larger photo of the rear of this radio showing the "Phase II" connector configuration. The normal FRD03-POD/S includes a wiring harness for this "Phase II" connector configuration.
 The second could be Ford's standard "World" 20-pin/16-pin connector configuration, with a 20-pin satellite radio connector being the active connector for the interface, shown in the image at the far right. You can also click on this image to see a larger photo of the rear of the radio showing this connector configuration. This is the wiring harness shipped standard in the FRDN-POD/S. IMPORTANT NOTE: Exclusive to only LOGJAM ELECTRONICS, all FRD03-POD/S iPod interfaces are sold with BOTH wiring harnesses so you don't have to remove the radio until you're ready for installation, confident that you have everything you need for installation.
Depending on what factory options your vehicle has, there could already be a factory wiring harness plugged into the satellite radio connector. The interface wiring harness is 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 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
