Add AUX audio input to your older Ford vehicle using a Atmega328 (Arduino UNO) and use the stock radio head unit to control playback on your iPhone.

• Adapted from Dale Thomas's Ford Bluetooth Interface and Krysztof Pintscher's Ford CD Emulator.
• Uses Ford Audio Control Protocol (ACP) to emulate stock 6 CD Changer.
• Adds AUX audio input to vehicle.
• Allows stock head unit playback control of iPhone.
• Protoshield hand wiring diagram included in Resources folder.
• EAGLE PCB files in eagle folder.

• Open Ford_ACP_AUX.ino located in Sketch/Ford_ACP_AUX and upload to Arduino UNO.
• Acquire parts on Bill of Materials located in Resources/LIU_FORD_ACP_AUX_BOM.xlsx.
• Do one of the following
  1. Wire up Arduino UNO like shown below. Note: Updated pin 8 → pin 7 in latest code.
  2. Print PCB using provided EAGLE files.
• Place the assembly in your car.

• Follow directions above but use Ford_AUX_BLE_control.ino located in Sketch/Ford_AUX_BLE_control and upload to Arduino UNO.
• Build and install ansonl/ble-control on your iOS device.

Please note that pin 8 in the above diagram has been changed to pin 7 in the latest Ford_AUX_BLE code.

• Use Ford_LCD_datagraph.ino located in Sketch/Ford_LCD_datagraph.

Please report issues and submit pull requests as needed. Please make an issue for soldering or build issues, too.

I have resolved several people's build issues by email and someone may find your issue helpful!
