9 months and still working
By Breng
I tend to wait and use the product for a while before I leave feedback. I installed this unit per the instructions and is has been working fine for 9 months. Great product!

Good with some stress involved....

Alright so here is what happened i have been looking at these for a while, so i decided to try it out. Putting a new radio wasnt the most practical so these was the idea i went with. First off my car/suv is the 2006 mercury mariner, no audio system.I first bought the "PIE FRD03-AUX 2003-up Ford Auxiliary Input Converter" but after opening the box and looking behind the radio this wasnt going to work, called the manufacturer and the helpful service tech pointed me to this. I ordered this and had it overnight shipped. however opening the box again i plugged it in to the back and realized there wasnt any other cord going into the female part of the FRDN. Quick call to the manufacturer and the guy said no its fine its designed to work that way. So after all it does.Steps to install (pictures above) 1. Remove radio 2. Plug in FRDN to the slot in the radio 3. The tricky part is this connecting power and ground wires to FRDN 4. I connected it to the outlet on the Dash there was a Black one (ground) and Blue White (Constant 12v) 5. Zipped tied box of FRDN to metal on left of Glove box 6. Connect RCA cable (not included) 7. Plug in iphone 8. Press Sat 9. Listen to music 10. turn music down 2 click or to 80% loudnessOverall works good, sounds good easy install, took an hour. If i had to do it again i would say 30 mins

This product was my second attempt at hooking up an aux input (first try failed because I got a different product and the connectors didn't match up).I installed this into a 2006 Ford E-350 (Econoline, 12-passenger van). The radio has SAT and AUX buttons; this adapter is activated by pressing the SAT button. It will say "AUX", "PIE", or "CRYSTAL" on the display screen when it's activated.This product came with absolutely no instructions, but it was pretty easy to figure out what to do: Find a place to get a +12V and a GND wire hooked up, and then plug the wiring harness into the back of the radio.I ended up using a +12V wire that's only live when the van is running or in ACC mode. I found this wire in the radio's existing wiring harness using a multimeter, with the negative lead hooked to the van's frame while using the positive lead to probe each pin in the wiring harness. You're looking for a wire that gives you +12V while in ACC mode, but when you turn the key off, it drops to 0V. In my case, it was a yellow wire. I cut the wire and spliced in this adapter's +12V wire (the purple one) using two butt connectors. For the GND wire (the green one), I attached it to a bolt on the back of the radio, which comes in contact with the vehicle's frame when the radio is slid back into place.There was plenty of space behind the radio for this adapter to sit. I will probably go back in and fasten it down to something with velcro, but for now it's just sitting loose back there.
