Application/Installation and Instruction
Manual
INTRODUCTION
Precision Interface Electronics (PIE) has released a new line of iPod interfaces (POD2) that allow you to
interface your iPod directly to the OEM (factory) radio in your Ford/Lincoln/Mercury Vehicle. Using this
interface, the iPod will take the place of the Ford external CD Changer, noted you will see the difference
in operations. The radio will be able to directly access tracks on your iPod and perform basic function
from the radio—namely FF, REW, Track UP, Track Down, Pause etc , in addition to full access to
all your playlists and menus via clickable scrollwheel. (iPod clickwheel will not be disabled)
The CD Changer function of the radio will be utilized to operate the iPod, allowing you to benefit from:
1. Direct connection of the iPod to Ford vehicle audio system for optimum sound quality
2. Control iPod playback with the CD Changer buttons on the Ford radio or steering wheel
controls
3. Charges the iPod internal battery
4. Plug-n-play: includes installation cable, 4ft docking cable, interface and owner’s manual
Note: If a Ford external (trunk mounted) CD Changer is present, you must disconnect it before installing
this interface.
