I have an 07 Mustang and 04 F-150 FX4 with stereos that have identical layouts. Mustang came with satellite radio subscription for some period, and has an auxiliary input jack in the console. Same Aux button used for satellite or aux jack.
That led me to wonder if I could get an auxiliary jack for the F-150, even though it didn’t have anything connected to that input when I bought it.
I found the part I needed, then had a local car stereo shop install it, since it involved some disassembly and reassembly. It ended up being a lot more complicated than they expected, and took a lot longer, but they honored the price they quoted.
IIRC, the part itself wasn’t that complicated. Almost like a red/white (RCA) to 1/8th. The end that plugs into my phone/mp3 player runs through the glovebox.
BUT - lately, instead of that, I have been using a Bluetooth adapter that broadcasts to FM. I had a couple that were lousy, but the current one works better than the hardwired aux line in the F-150 (which sometimes crackles). It’s a lot cheaper and can move from vehicle to vehicle. Only downside is when I am too close to an FM station broadcasting at that frequency.
ETA - I think I went through the same “feature is there” circle. Technically, the aux button is there, and would function if there was an accessory connected to it for you to “select” by pressing that button.
The back end of things might have been through a part like this that then connected to a red/white to the piece that connects to a 1/8th jack (maybe this) or whatever you’re trying to connect.
