What is my best choice for my Ipod and my new truck?

Question

I just bought an 07 Ford Escape that has a button for AUX, but has no port and when the button is pressed it says "NO AUX". I want to use my Ipod in my truck preferrably without using a FM transmitter. Can I take the truck to the dealership to get a line-in put in, or would that even be worth it?

Answer 1

yea, its probaly hidden.  my cars was inside the center counsil under the stereo way in the back behind a plastic plug with no label or anything on it.

Answer 2

You can take it to a dealership. It might be worth it. But you can find cheap transmitters at Walmart and they work perfectly fine.

Answer 3

Are you positive there is no input?

in the middle console or anything? check your book.

I would not think there would be an AUX without an input, it may be on the back of your radio  but if its a factory stereo i doubt that.

I bet it is hidden somewhere. it will most likely be the size of an earphone jack.

Answer 4

i had recently bought a new radio for my car so that i can use my ipod without having to use a fm transmitter (because they suck!). My AUX port is right ont the radio itself; its the same size as the headphone jack on your ipod, although yours could be hidden in your car somewhere.  My radio allows for two ways to use the ipod, one being the AUX port that your talking about. the other way would have cost me about $30 more, but after all the stuff i had just paid for (the radio, the installation kit, and the installation) i didnt see the point when i could just as easily use the AUX port with a less than $10 AUX port cable. the only draw backs is that i can't charge the ipod thru the AUX cable or use the radio controls to find my music as i would have been able to do with the extra $30 hook up. really its all in the way that you look at it. i personally think that i am happier using the AUX port and using the $20 bucks i saved on gas.
