Part#: FRDN-AUX 1998-2005 Ford Auxiliary Input Converter (See Specific Vehicle Application List below)

The FRDN-AUX Auxiliary Input Converter connects to the CD changer data port at the rear of the factory radio of many 1995-1998 Ford vehicles (Please see Specific Vehicle Application List below), 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 an audio output connector.

Logjam Electronics....Connecting You to your Music!Installation is simple, as the interface plugs into the 20-pin connector at the rear of your factory radio using the vehicle specific cable that comes with the interface. The 20-pin connector is one of the two connectors in Ford's standard 20-pin/16-pin connector configuration, shown in the image at right (click image for larger photo).

Depending on what factory options your vehicle has, there could already be a factory wiring harness plugged into the 20-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 20-pin connector, the 20-pin 'Y' harness will remain empty after installation.

Logjam Electronics....Connecting You to your Music!With this device installed, you will have created an auxiliary audio input to your factory radio, which will now allow you to plug in any external audio source, like the audio from a portable MP3 player, satellite tuner, DVD player, or iPod, into the left & right RCA-type connectors (shown at left), and play the audio from that external audio device directly through your factory radio. This is a direct-connect device and NOT an FM Modulator. An FM modulator requires you to tune to an FM radio station in order to listen to the audio from the external audio device. This device does not work like that.

Comes complete with all cables and connectors to connect this device to your vehicle. See "Additional Add-on Items", shown below, for any additional cables or connectors you might need to connect your audio device to the RCA-type connectors on this interface.

Please Note: This is a direct-connect audio-only auxiliary input converter, and does not allow you to control the external audio device that is connected to it.

IMPORTANT APPLICATION NOTES:

  • If the factory CD Changer is present, you will need to disconnect it from the factory harness.
  • If your vehicle is pre-wired from the factory with a data cable running to the rear/trunk, see FRDW-AUX
  • NOT compatible with 2003-2005 vehicles equipped with the 6-Disc in-dash headunit that are NOT equipped with external CD changer capabilities. This means that if you have a 6-disc in-dash CD changer and your factory radio can have another externally mounted (not in the dash) CD changer installed and be able to control both CD changer devices, this device will work with your vehicle.
  • NOT compatible with vehicles with factory navigation system.
