Ford Radio Removal Instructions
Product Description:
The FRDF/PC-POD2 iPod interface connects to the CD changer port at the rear of the factory radio in many 1995-1998 Ford-made vehicles (Please see Specific Vehicle Application List). You'll be able to listen to and control most versions of the Apple® iPod using the CD changer controls of your factory radio. This device will also charge your iPod while it is connected to your vehicle, and will pause the iPod whenever the radio is switched out of the simulated iPod mode, which is CD changer mode, or will pause the iPod when the factory radio is turned off. While listening, you can skip forward or backward through individual songs in a playlist, or fast-forward or rewind within a song, with the controls and display of the iPod remaining completely functional, giving you the versatility to use your iPod the way you want to use it.
 Installation is simple, as this iPod interface plugs into the 16-pin connector at the rear of your factory radio using the vehicle specific cable that comes with the interface. The 16-pin connector, shown in the image at right, is one of the two connectors used in Ford's "Premium" 8-pin/16-pin connector configuration (Click on image to see larger photo of both connectors and rear of Premium radio). Then, simply plug the iPod into the provided dock cable and enjoy your iPod music library.
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 device 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.
