Ok so i just scored this 1997 Expo xlt from my neighbor.
He was 80 when he sold it to me and it looks brand new.
Runs great but what is up with no CD or Ipod Hookup.
I guess its just a different Generation.
But Ford didn't install a CD player in 1997 i think that is why this is my first Ford!
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas
I know there is a CD changer i can install for like 100 bucks.
Or i can install an aftermarket Cd player with an ipod hookup.
What i was hoping somebody might have a little experience with the line in's on the back of the original stereo before i go ripping it out.
If it is like a line in i should be able to just hook up a cable.
If it is a red and white audio line i should just be able to buy a cable also.
Thanks if anyone helps.

 

Does it have a cassette player? My 2000 Eddie Bauer has a 6 CD changer with a cassette player. I bought a cassette player mp3 player adapter at Radio Shack.

The only problem I had with it is when I first got it the cassette player tried to switch it from side A to side B and then it would just quit working. I took it apart and removed the gears on the inside so now just the magnetic strip is active.

It plays just fine, no whine or hiss. It actually sounds better than the direct aux line-in on my wife's Altima.
