Does anyone have the trip tunes installed in their mustang? The Ford part # is 19C142. See the following description from the 2006 Ford Mustang Accessories pdf.

8. TripTunesâ„¢
Take your tunes on the road! Now you can
connect most portable audio players (MP3, iPod,®
iRiver,® ScanDisk,® etc.), plus portable CD and
cassette players, right to your in-dash radio.
Just plug your player into the harness – a 3.5mm
stereo connector provides the interface so you
can listen to music through the radio’s speakers
and control the volume. Audio connection
is housed securely in your vehicle’s glovebox
or center console.
Base Part No. 19C142

I talked with the local dealer and gave part number, said he could find no record of it anywhere.... there was another thread on this awhile ago. But I cant find it at all, and with the 07's coming with the plug in located in the front of the radio I dont think this part was ever released [:@] There are a couple after market ones. One called P.I.E. FRD04-AUX is the only one i can find right now...
heres a link on the install with very nice pictures/directions (kudos to whoever made this page) http://www.jtephoto.com/mustang/idiots_guide/Idiots.htm


Crutchfield sells them... http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Ib1tOAS...0&I=469FRD4AUX

Might be able to find a better price somewhere, but thats the company i remember selling them. I've yet to install one myself, But i'm desperately in need of one.

Thanks for looking into this, I have heard there are problems with the P.I.E module.... I can't believe that there isn't something on the market that would capatilize on this. I guess we can eventually swap our head units with a "07 model. Here is a caption from another site about specific P.I.E issues.

PIE Tech support department wants you to know---
"We are aware of a small glitch in this part when used in a *2005 Mustang. This glitch is not something PIE found during testing of this part before its release.The glitch has to do with the 16-pin aux-port of the radio being occupied. This connector houses 2-wires. This harness must be disconnected before the radio recognizes the FRD04-AUX interface; once the radio recognizes the interface this harness may be reconnected. Once the vehicle's ACC voltage is cycled or car sits for about 15-20 minutes. The radio will loose recognition of the part.

An immediate/temporary fix for this is to leave the factory 16-pin connector disconnected from the FRD04-AUX harness. This will allow the part to work with out any problems. However, the radio's dimming function will be permanently activated and the radio's speed sensing for volume compensation will deactivate.

This part is the first in the 12-volt industry. We took all the precautions necessary to avoid this from happening by field testing and confirming compatibility with every model listed. We even had 8 or 9 prototypes installed in different vehicles. Including a 2005 Mustang with the shaker 500 audio system. Here's a link to one of those 8 or 9 vehicles, (it happens to be the 2005 Mustang with the shaker 500) I'm sure you have seen it before.

Ewwww, well I guess that wont be the one i get lol. Yea an 07 unit would be nice, but prolly not cheap. Darn ford for waiting til 07 for that option....and heated seats too

CDW63

All of the Arizona 05-06 Mustangs have the heated setas!

How odd, seems as though that would be one of the states that wouldnt need them, being that its like 190 degrees there alll the dang time (been there once and waaaayyyyy to hot for me)

Sarcasm is lost on some people.... sad. Here is 2 bits, go buy a clue.

FYI, The PIE adapter works very well. I have it on my car, very happy with it.

I purchased the trip tunes and they are putting it on my car this weekend.

I used the P.I.E module also. The first one blew on me while I was uploading loading in a 93 octane tune ( iheard it pop)so now I pill the fuse before I load in any tune.

I hooked up a 3.5mm adapter also and mounted it to the right of my radio on the dash. Very clean install. Here's a thumbnail
