where is the mp3/aux connection

[greasemonkey6886]

My dad has a 2007 Ranger with a factory stereo w/mp3 capability and 6 disk changer. He asked me where to plug up the mp3 since there are no visible input jacks on it. Told him I didn't know but I knew where to ask so any ideas? I am guessing it is on the back of unit but unsure. Like I said, this is a factory unit from Ford. Since he lives in Texas I can't just go over and look for it for him. Thanks!

Shoul be a jack on the outside that looks like a headphone jack that he plugs into... At least thats how it is on my cousins

Does it mean there is an audio jack or does it mean it will play CDs with MP3s on it?

That is a mp3 cd player. The mp3s must be on a disc.

ok I get the mp3 thing but what about the fact that this unit also has an "aux" button? I realize now that I forgot to post that fact on original post...sorry!

My 2008 has the mp3 input right on the dashboard its in the same place the airbag shut-off switch is on this ^ picture, idk if 2007's are the same

i just rode in my friend's 2010 ranger and its in the same place as the pic posted by ranger crawler.

So can anyone confirm how it is wired? Is there a pluhg in connection on the back of the head unit? On older models, would it be as simple as getting a 2010 headunit and running a cable?

Ok guys I will call dad and tell him to look there on the dash again. This kinda sucks because he lives so far away and I can't just look at it and help him. I probably just have him send me pics of the dash and stereo.Thanks for the help!

I am also looking for it. I want to know also where I can find it. If I will find it, I will post it here. I will wait for the response of the other members here.

That looks identical to my setup but I still don't see the AUX port you are talking about. Where on the Air Bag Shut-Off Switch? That black hole above it doesn't come out and least I couldn't get to come off and a USB doesn't fit in that Air-Bag slot? Thanks

That radio doesn't have an AUX port, the only way to play mp3's is either burn them to a mp3 cd or get the adapter that plugs into the tape player
