Default Cassette player?

When I did an Edmunds search for the FEH it listed an option for an audio system that included both a cassette and CD player. However, the Ford website makes no mention of this that I can see. Does anyone know if the FEH has this option or not?

I listen to books on tape from the library a lot during my commute and most are still on audio cassettes, so I'd really like to have the ability to play them.

I have never seen, nor even heard of a factory installed cassette player for the FEH.

99.9% sure it does not exsist.

I listen to a ton of audiobooks as well since I have over an hour each way on my commute. I have the opposite problem though since I get my audiobooks from audible.com and it's not convenient to burn a bunch of CDRs to listen to each section of the book. The cleanest solution in my case is get an iPod interface and listen through that.

To answer your question, the only cassette players I've seen that might work in the FEH were on Ebay.

The 2006 FEW Owners Manual comes with a Audio Supplement (6M6J-19A285-AA) that details the operation of "Premium Satellite Compatible AM/FM Stero/Cassette/Single CD/MP3 (if equipped)"

The first printing of this document was in September 2005. Although NAV/Energy display would not be an option, you should be able to order an FEH with this audio system.
