Default Just Picked up a 2005 GT

Hey guys. I just took delivery of a 2005 GT manual in arrest me red.
I have been modding subarus for the past 6 years(2002 WRX and 2004 Sti). Have built a couple of 500+whp Sti's. Have been working on cars for my entire life as a hobby and at one point worked as a mechanic at a mobile station.
This is my first "muscle" car and I fell in love with it when I saw it. So far I have one question. Where is the hook up for the Aux in on the radio? My car did not come with a manual or I would look in there for the answer.

Welcome to MF!

STi's are no joke. Especially a 500 AWHP STi.

Congrats on the stang. Any pics?

Congrats & welcome to OUR WORLD! You'll get a lot of great advice here & you'll find it's an absolute JOY to own & work on your S197... BTW how MUCH did you pay for it? Please post MORE DETAILS & PICS!

Oh.. your question - 2005 (like mine) didn't always have an AUX port on the stereo!

Mine was not 500whp. I just built and tuned 2 to that level. Mine only had a TD06-20G on it that I built and tuned to ~350whp.
The only pic I have is from the dealer web site right now. Here it is.



I will take some more pics when it stops moving.

Yes the mustang is MUCH, MUCH different than the Sti was. It is going to take some time getting used to working on though. I had all the bolt sizes memorized on the Sti.
I paid 14,900 for it but the Sti was paid off so it ended up only costing me 6k.
What is the Aux button for on the head unit?

Good looking ride man. Torch Red FTW!!!

My bad for misunderstanding about the STi.

They definitely are different cars. You will get used to it in time man. Take care of that beauty.

Here is the 2002 WRX I traded for the 2004 Sti.




This is the only pic on this computer of the 2004 Sti. I removed the big *** wing and replaced it with the WRX one.
