Why not just get a 5000 RDS EON instead?
Did you know you can get special contors that you can plug your iPod into and plug into the CD autochanger slot so you can control your iPod via the stereo? So the stereo thinks the iPod is a CD autochagenger. I have one in my Focus, but I have a Sony radio but it's the same principal with the Ford radio?

Probably the same amount you'd spend on a new radio anyway?
