FM Modulated one.

Basicly you wire up the yellow/red/ground as usual.

Then there is a little box you put up front by the radio.

Sometimes these setups dont work to hot. The best quality you can get is whatever the reception Frequency your stock unit has...

By the time you mess around with a LOC and still not being satisfied you would be better off gettignt he fit kit...

Look on E Pay? Ouch...

Price you pay for having a ford...lol

Depends on what all you got and what you want to do...

You can get the fit kit for $40, just the kit...

Then they have various harness's... all depending on what options your car has!

If you got the defroster and premium sound the $70 kit is for you.

Personally I would buy the $40 kit and leave out ANY kind of factory amps... Replace all speakers... They are junk anyhow ;)

if your factory radio could control a cd changer you can add an aux box from pac and wire one directly in
