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.
