Does anyone know what's required to add an MP3 input to the factory radio in A Ford Pursuit Utility?

You can usually buy a kit that will let you add a mp3 input to your factory set. There are few normally knocking about on eBay.
After years of RF modulators, I was hoping for some sort of direct connection. I've had one on my F150 and was hoping to find something like that for the Utility.
I'd have to reiterate what SireLite said about a multitude of kits out there that allow you to add MP3 input. Worst case, contact Ford and see if there's anything specific you can use, I can't imagine that because it's a pursuit utility there would be any difference in the stock radio.

I tried searching last night to see what the factory fitted radio was. but Google gave me nothing. Most new radios have inputs on the back that let you connect up CD changers, car phone kits. etc.
There is an order option for a better radio with the USB/Aux input jack features, as part of MySync or whatever Ford has going. It's damn stupid that they don't offer these now industry-wide "luxuries" as standard. Stupid.
I don't know, but highly doubt that there is any hidden connection to use. Just another way to screw the poor guy stuck int he car for a shift or to force the buyer to spring for the extra cost option. I honestly hope they lose bids over this petty crap.

I have no problem buying an interface. (I have on in my POV). My problem is that nobody knows if any existing product will work. I checked with Crutchfield and several interface manufacturers but nothing is listed for that vehicle. I'll pull one apart soon and hope to find a standard Ford connector. The radio haw an aux button, it's just a matter of feeding it.

Have a look at Yatour. They do a unit that fits inline with the cable that comes out of the back of the radio.
