Need to upgrade 2004 FX35 radio, cd

[dbdoupe]

With 140,000 miles my wife's fx is running like new. Our son is taking it to college this fall and is looking to "upgrade" the music system. The cd no longer works, so I am wondering if there is a simple after market replacement for the entire factory setup, so he gets a new radio, and SAT, CD, ipod connection. Any help? Thanks.

Get a grom audio USB interface. The new version allows you to plug both iPod and USB at the same time. And it's cheap compare to other brands of iPod interface.

There is no way to directly replace the oem audio system. You would have to go aftermarket. The easiest way would be to do something like this, ///415

I had my OEM stereo replaced by a guy in El Monte 6 months ago for $185...works perfect

+1 Look it up using the search bar on your computer, by far the best way to plug in an external music source.

Can you get the text on the OEM screen using this? Never heard of it but looks cool:

Yea there's text display. They also offer the bluetooth add-on for the unit. I have both and they work great!

Andrew and I both have the GROM Audio in our rides. Yes, it display text on OEM screen. I wish it scroll though. If the title of the song/artist is longer than it can fit on the screen, you have to turn the tune knob to display the rest of the text.
