has anyone had any experience replacing the audio systemin the Endeavor? its looks like an impossible task given the strange design of the center panel and what seems to be and integrated radio in it. i would like to change the crappy system with a radio with mp3 support, subs and all the ****e. another option would be to hook up an external dvd player (nice idea) with mp3 support built in, provided that the default radio has some sort of audio input (wishful thinking). any ideas???

I've taken the cover off (easy) and removed the radio (10 screws, one nut). The pic shows the back. It looks like the 13pin connector is the way in, but I've connected an aux input converter to it with my MP3 player and get nothing. If anyone has any ideas, please help!

mrjoss- what year is yours? i have a 2000 and the back of the headunit doesn't look like that (it's the infinity P902). i'm trying to figure out a way to either splice or hardwire a rigged rca->minijack for the ipod.

mine is a 2004. the head end is actually made by Matsushita Electric, who owns Panasonic.

MrJoss, can you explain how to open the cover? I want to connect an Ipod, if its possible.

Thank you

I've taken apart my center console on my Limited. It is pretty easy and you'll see that the climate controls and audio system are not really integrated, except for the controls in the face plate. To take it apart, engage the parking brake, turn the key far enough that you can shift into drive (without starting the car) and then you are ready to pull it apart. To pull it apart, grasp the center console on either side as far down and back as you can. Pull firmly and the clips will release and it will come off. Then pull the from the top and you'll have the console off.

You now need to disconnect the cable harness for the seat warmer controls (if you have them) and the climate controles. You can then set the console aside. To get the stereo out, you need to remove the dashboard display to get to one nut in the back. Its pretty easy, just a couple of screws. Then its 4 screws on the front to get the stero out. You'll see a 13 pin connector on the back that is availble.

Here is where I've been stumped. I could by an RF modulator to plug into the antenna jack, but I'm looking for something more. I bought a 13 pin aux input connector and plugged it in. That gave me RCA inputs for my MP3 player (I'm using a Rio Karma). But I can't figure out how to get the stereo to recognize it. I was hoping that the 13 pin jack was for the DVD player I didn't get and it would automatically over-ride the CD changer. No dice. So I am stumped and looking for someone with a bright idea.
