Adding an AUX input jack to my radio. Has any one figured out how to wire their radio to do this? Plenty of videos online for other radios / cars where there are obvious solder points where you can solder your aux jack and wires, but I can't find info on this car / radio.

I just bought a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis Ultimate with the single cd and cassette player, but without an auxiliary input port . No satellite is included.

Thanks for any help.

 

Don't know, but I'm sure it can be done. Shouldn't be too difficult with a wiring diagram. Having said that, I don't think I, myself, would do it. Unless you're trying to preserve the OEM integrity of your interior, I would say just about any aftermarket head unit will be better in every way. Aside from the Ford-green lighting, the OEM radio doesn't match the interior that well anyway, and there's no CAN-BUS to worry about either...the radio switches off with the key--1970's style.

 

Thanks, and i guess that I agree. I am adding an amplified system where my phone is the stereo system. Bluetooth receiver, amplifier and new speakers. Visually minimal and should sound much better. I may even be able to add some extra storage above the new amplifier. Not even sure where to place a large cup of coffee in this car but still, love the car!
