Adding Bluetooth to 1999 Explorer with CD Changer

[kcmark]

I know this is technically possible but I'm having a heckuva time finding a device, which is compatible with a 1999 Explorer XLT, that will use the CD changer input on my factory Ford stereo to create a bluetooth auxiliary input.

I don't have steering wheel controls or sat radio. I just want to be able to switch to the CD changer input and have it pump out whatever I'm sending over bluetooth. Anyone know of an affordable solution?

I've been eyeing up these for a while. I'd love to try them one day.

I have that PIE adapter (2nd link) and it works fine if you dont plugging in your phone every time. I would like to find something that will interface with the factory harness and allow me to add BT and control it through the steering wheel but I havent found anything yet.

The only other option is to change the plugs on the truck to the newer style Phase II plugs and use a newer OEM radio and BT adapter designed for said radio. By then, you mind as well just put in an aftermarket radio and be done with it.

This one has steering wheel control. I'd be extremely interested in the results of installing it.
