old post, but if you haven't found a good spot, I put my sirius antennae between the rear window and the trunk. I ran the wire under the rubber weatherstrip and just laid the antenna there. Trunklid isn't metal, so reception works. It fits just below the trunk lid when the lid is closed, gets good reception, and the theives don't know I have sirius in my car, cause you can't see it. If you still care and really want a pic, pm me.

I sell PIE adapters and do sell the FRD04-AUX. This part will add an auxilliary input to the 2005 Mustangs, F150s and several other vehicles. The manufacturer is estimating that these parts will begin shipping in limited quantities sometime in September. I do have some parts on the intiital shipment still available. You can buy these from my eBay store at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FRD04...0792QQtcZphoto. If there is interest in a group purchase, I will be willing to offer a discount. You are welcome to email me at Andy@AncoAuto.com with questions or a group purchase. Orders will be filled in the order received. The first group of parts are being air shipped in by PIE and, once these are gone, no additional parts will be available for 2 months. This is currently the hottest adapter that I am selling since (I am almost positive) it is the only one that will work with the new Ford radios.

yes the interface works for most ford vehicles
this device is for the Ford CAN-Bus CD changer radio!! most 2005 to 2007 The PIE FRD04-AUX Auxiliary Input Converter connects to the 16-pin Rear Seat Entertainment (RCE) data port of your CAN-Bus factory radio to create an external auxiliary input. The factory radio must have an "AUX" button to be compatible

I installed the PIE adapter on my 2006 GT with the Shaker 500 system. It works like a champ. The sound couldn't be better.

I don't know if this was mentioned earlier or not, but the PIE adapter just converts the AUX output to accept RCA inputs. You still need to buy another adapter that will allow you to use your Ipod. It will plug into the bottom connector on the Ipod and give power to charge the Ipod and all that. The other end will plug into the RCA's on the PIE adaptor.

Should work for the 05 as well. I don't think they would change the radio after only 1 year.

Excellent thread guys!! This is the reason why forums work. Good investigation for answers (and someone always has the answer). I'm ordering my adapter right now. The kids will have Christmas again next year, right? ;-) By the way, my Ford dealer told me that the AUX button was for an iPod when selling me the car so had to be guessing. Not that I needed the incentive to get my hands on a 'Stang.
