How to use the aux button on factory radio?????

[sgtowing]

I have an 05 EB with the factory 6 disc changer with satellite option. What is the aux button and how do you use it. Please don't rip me a new one for not knowing.

its for you iPod,zunes,etc you plug the 3mm audio jack into the radio then push aux and thats it.

Thats what I thought but where is the connection point? Is it on the back of the radio?

Do you also have the rear DVD system? If so, there's an AUX in on the DVD unit.
As far as i know, there's no factory 3mm in jack on pre-2007 Expys. That would have been awesome.

really i didnt know that ant thats kinda stupid not have a aux input upfront

i just looked it up and some said its behind the stereo

If your car has the rear DVD entertainment center, that uses your aux in, if not, it's prob on back somewhere, but will prob need a Ford jack to make it work, not sure on that though.

yeah, but i am too cheap to buy a new deck right now. i want to save as much money as i can so i can spend it on the drivetrain first. you forget, i have a wife to answer to! hahah. i really just want to plug my ipod in for the 29 hour drive back to iowa so i dont have to keep swapping out the CD's....

no tape deck? hmmm... there are some things that you can buy and have professionals install that you can plug your ipod into. do a google search. i forgot what they are called. usually just ipod into factory radio will do the trick.

since when is $69.99 cheap? you can buy a new radio and have it installed for that price... almost.

I use the aux button to turn on the dvd player.

i will have to look around. i think walmart has something that i could pick up but i just wanted to see if there was a way to actually plug the ipod into the radio itself....well, i could always just burn a bunch of CD's and use the 6-disc changer! haha. that would be the cheapest (free) since i already have a bunch of CD's at work...gotta love being supply! hhahah
