What model year did the Ford Explorer add an aux input jack?

I'm shopping for a used SUV, and I was just wondering what is the oldest model year for the Ford Explorer SUV that includes an auxiliary input jack, so I can listen to music from an iPod/iPhone. I know there are things such as cassette player adapters, but I'm talking about an actual 3.5mm input.

I will suggest you find the best Ford explorer you like, and don't worry about the auxiliary input jack
find the best color, engine, seats, Low miles service records do a car fax because the aux input is going to narrow your options a lot, since the auxiliary port only comes in the 2009 and up

but here is the solution you can purchase the aux input jack for any year Ford Explorer and installl it later, this are simple to connect to the back of the factory radio, they are plug and play
if you purchase an Explorer without the aux jack this are the adapter that you need

  • What is the aux button on the ford fusion 2006 for? Just got a ford fusion and it has an aux button for nothing to plug your phone in. Is it secretly somewhere? Do you sync your phone (I have an iphone 5). Or is this button just for show?
  • My nissan 2008 does not have an aux input? So I recently received my dad's 2008 Nissan versa. I looked everywhere in the car and can't find the aux input or any kind of plug in spot where I could plug my iphone in for music. Maybe there's some spot that I missed? If anyone knows? It does have a lighter socket type thing so wondering if that could somehow work?
  • Is there an av input in the 2014 ford explorer? I'm have a 2014 Ford Explorer Limited. Where can I find the av input for the my ford touch screen? If there isn't an av input, can you put dvd's in the premium sony surround sound player so you can watch the movie through there. (I want to play a movie from my iPhone 5s onto the my ford touch screen.)
  • Is the Mazda 3 good? Does it have an aux input? I'm 17 and i want to get a Mazda 3 from 03-05 used It's my first car. But I does it have an auxiliary jack so I can play music from my iPod or iPhone? If it doesent come with it can I get it built in? It might be a bit ghetto but I don't want it to look ghetto:/
