Newer auxiliary input adapter options

[V8SHO]

Hi everyone, I have a '06 Ford Explorer V6 EB and I am researching some options in making the stock radio auxiliary input work. I definitely understand this issue has been beaten into the wall hundreds of times, but I was wondering if you guys have some advice on a couple aux input interfaces that I have trouble choosing between. I know that the most popular option is the PIE FRD04-aux adapter, but I cannot find one anywhere (ebay, amazon, crutchfield, etc.), they are discontinued. Same goes for the PAC AAI-FRD04. The only two options (other than installing an aftermarket cd player) I found so far are made by Blitzsafe and iSimple. The radio serial number is: 6L2T-18C8-15BK if that helps.

The Blitzsafe interface link- http://www.amazon.com/BLITZSAFE-aux...qid=1373236385&sr=8-2&keywords=blitzsafe+ford

The iSimple ISFD531 interface link- http://www.ebay.com/itm/ISIMPLE-ISF...1004111395?pt=US_Adapters&hash=item3374df1e23

Basically, I would just like to know if any of you guys bought either of these aux adapters and if you've had positive results. I am not asking about how to install it or anything like that, I saw the posts in the forum, just mostly looking for some feedback or if they truly work in the factory radio. I really appreciate any input, everyone! Thank-you!

Most will work, but for $80, you can pick up a higher end head unit with an Aux/USB port in the front. Which makes more sense since sound quality from a new radio is far superior to stock head units.
