Where is the aux hook up for a 2005 Ford Focus SE?

Question

My mom got me a MP3 player and I just figured out that it'd be easier to use that than my CDs.

I'd ♥ to use it in my car but I have no idea how to hook it up to my car radio or if I have to buy a special jack {i.e. if you only had a cassette player in your car and you wanted to use your CD player you would buy a cassette adapter for it}.

Please help me out?

Answer 1

You're pretty much out of luck for a quick, cheap, high-quality solution.

Your best bet is to go to www.crutchfield.com and look at what is suggested for your vehicle and your particular type of mp3 player.

Try to stay away from the cigarette lighter type FM modulators. The sound quality is horrible.

Personally, I find the MP3 player in the in-dash unit to be pretty good. You can put up to 150 songs on each custom CD. Works almost as well as an IPOD, but its kinda like comparing a PDA to to a pentium 4 computer: Less features, but will do for the purpose you have in mind.

Answer 2

Any mp3 player would be a good decision as stated and finding one with an Auxillary input on the front of it would be better. That way, you can connect your mp3 player through the Aux input.

As far as FM modulators go, yes, the sound quality is not as good as what you have if it all was in dash but I think the quality of the sound is dependent on the quality of the product, like everythign else in life. FM mods arent *that* bad. You can get one and enjoy it and it will move you along in life until you can afford something else. Actually the most often seen problems ppl have with FM Mods is when they are travelling and come across a radio station that is broadcasting on the same frequency that the FM Modulator is (FM Mods take the input from whatever device you are using with them and transforms it to an FM signal that is picked up with your car's radio, typically something like 88.9 or 88.1 or something. The came out with CD changers and were widely popular b/c it allowed someone to add a changer to a car radio that did not have any cd changer connections on it).
