My friend wants to use the aux input on the stock ford explorer deck (6 disk changer). The explorer is 05. Is there a cable he can use directly?
Thanks

I think the easiest way is this http://www.rcainput.com/Merchant2/me...D%2FAUX-V.1B.4 make a nice little cover plate, mount the 2 rca's in the dash, and use a 1/8 to rca cord [img]smile.gif[/img]

Alpine's new HU's coming out later this fall with have an Ipod interface to allow hookup of your Ipods.

back to your question, does apple not have a cable available that will do this?

no, you need this to plug into the back of your sterio and then it will be just a simple 1/8 to RCA

That unit seems to be for older models not the 2005.
But yes that is the type of unit I am looking for.
