GTechNick Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hey Everyone! New member here. I just purchased a used 2007 Edge SEL Plus and I am having an issue with the Line In. I have looked through all the threads and couldn't find an answer to this specific issue. The original owner told me he had the stock stereo switched out for the 6 disc stock stereo (after pulling the stereo out I found that it is from a 2009 model). The attached image is what is currently installed. So, when I press the AUX button on the stereo, it only switches through SAT1, SAT2, & SAT3. There is not an option for the "Line In" for some reason. I also noticed when I pulled the stereo out that there are 2 input ports on the back of the stereo (other than the antenna port) and there are 3 plugs, of course one of them is not plugged into anything. Can anyone shed some light on what's going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenlxi Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Sounds to me like it needs to be programmed for your exact vehicle, it may have come out of another model that didn't have a line in option. Dealer would have to program it with as-built data per your VIN. Do the steering wheel controls work properly?? But I don't know why the PO would have swapped it out, SEL should come with the 6 disc already.... unless there was something wrong with it, but I wouldn't see any other reason to replace it. I could be wrong but I thought only the SE had the single disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to know what the 3rd connector would be used for? Thanks for your help. Edited March 7, 2013 by GTechNick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenlxi Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 If you're talking about the extra little grey square connector going into the wiring harness on the car side, that's for the factory subwoofer and amp. And yea most had the line-in I believe, but who knows may be some without. Even with the steering wheel controls working I'd still get it programmed for your specific vehicle. The nav unit I swapped in mine came from an Expedition and all the steering wheel controls worked fine but it had a tab for the rear DVD entertainment system as well Do you have the part # from it??
