I have an 06 gt with s1000 and had the peripheral ipod adapter installed the other day. I love it. It does give you full control of you ipod through the system and displays the song info on the display. The installer ran the wires to the armrest box so my ipod sits inside there out of the way. I definitely recommend it. I'll get pics at some point but i never use cameras for anything.

placed the order - now what is your opinion - wire it into the glove box or the arm rest - i am leaning towards the arm rest because i have a vert and generally keep it locked and it would be a pain to lock and unlock each time you use the car.

Arm rest is probably the best location.

I have been waiting for this. I was set on the P.I.E. but as an experiment bought the monster-car iplay and it was crap. Have been wondering how hard the install was on the PIE. I appreciate the awesome write up with picks!

But this precision instruments piece sounds like the way to go. For those that installed it in the armrest, where did you go and what did it cost?

Thanks guys.

Just use the great instructions for installing the PIE adapter (search PIE) and you will find it - pictures and all; and run the cable under the console through the hole in the armrest. a real no brainer that you can do yourself in less than a couple of hours.

I went out and bought the adapter that holds the Ipod and plugs right into the power port. It works terrific and looks good. My only complaint is with the downloaded music. Seems the older the tune, the weaker the volume. I'm "older" so I download a lot of "older" songs. The newer recordings make your ears bleed, but the older ones are loud but don't approach the same volume level. As far as the AUX ,,I didn't even realize there was one!

Yeah they are brand new we just started shipping them last week. We put products through months of testing before we bring it to market. We go to several car dealers and install them in many different cars with different options etc... To make sure they are ready for market.
I am sure you will love it.

After having the Peripheral Ipod Adaptor installed in my car for a few days now, i've had to take it back to the dealer twice. For some reason, the aux stops working if the car sits overnight. Had to have the dealer reconnect the aux cable a couple of times and again this morning it stopped working. Display reads "No Aux Audio" and switches back to radio.

The installer's ordering a new one for me and will be installed monday or so, hopefully results will be better. Let me know if this happens to you also once you get yours done.

I see the PXDPC2 listed on Best Buy's site and it's about the right price. Is this just a canadian part #? I'll probably drop into the store tomorrow and see but just thought I'd ask.

In reference to the "older" tunes... go back to iTunes, change the volume level, and put it back on the iPod... it will level out the differences....

NO, that is an old tech breif. That does not apply to the new Ford part. Call their tech line 800-477-2267 Ext 230 They are a lot of help.

the peripheral works as advertised. ordered it from discount stereo on wednesday, arrived on saturday and i did an install tonight; took about 1.5 hours as this was the first time i took the radio out; but could now do it in half the time - thanks to the PIE install instructions - without that it woulda taken longer to figure out how to disconnect some of the controls behind the ac etc; anyway the IPOD works great; well worth the money.

just one other thing, this product also acts as direct current and keeps the ipod charged so i can use my outlet in the armrest for charging my phone or other devicesl...well worth the money.

Say, i've been reading that some Mustang radios are not recognizing this part after the initial install and must disconnect and reconnect or reset the dip switches.... is this happening 2u?
I know it's not all Mustangs and because of that i ask which radio do you have.
Thanks for your time.

mine did not recognize it on first try so i just flipped dip switches 1, 2 and 3 up and then down while it was still connected and boom - it worked; don't know why but just be sure to try it out before you start putting the car back together. i velcored my control box behind the pass side kick panel on a metal box so if i need to get at it in the future i wont have to take out the radio - just the console. i have the shaker 500 in a car built jun 9, 2005.
