HOLLY HILL, FL, JULY 16, 2008: Now you can enjoy excellent sound all around with two new AXXESS Ford Interfaces.

The Ford Rear Seat Entertainment System Interface, AFDI-RSE-01, is designed to allow the installation of an aftermarket radio into a Ford CAN vehicle with a rear seat entertainment system. The interface provides audio to the aftermarket radio from the rear seat system and provides the following outputs for navigation radios: radio turn on, illumination, park, reverse, and vehicle speed sense (VSS).

Applications include the Ford Edge (2007-08), 2008 Escape, Expedition (2007-08), Explorer (2006-08), F-150 (2004-08), 2006 Freestyle, Fusion (late 2007-08), Sport Trac (late 2007-08), and 2008 Taurus and Taurus X; the 2008 Mercury Mariner, Milan (late 2007-08) and Mountaineer (2006-08); and Lincoln Mark LT (2006-08), MKX (2007-08), MKZ (late 2007-08) and Navigator (2006-08).

The Ford CAN THX amplified system interface, AFDI-THX-01, is designed for the installation of an aftermarket radio into a Ford CAN vehicle, allowing the OEM THX amplifier to be used as part of the system.

The AFDI-THX-01 turns on the THX amplifier when the aftermarket radio is turned on, controlling the front to rear fade. All the necessary outputs are provided when installing an Aftermarket Navigation radio: radio turn on, illumination, park, reverse, and vehicle speed sense (VSS).

Applications for the AFDI-THX-01 include the Lincoln Navigator, MKX, and MKZ, 2007 and newer.
