calmcdermott Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hey all, I was wondering if it would be possbile to have the original ford bluetooth fitting as when I ordered my car I did order it but becuase they didnt have any at the factory it delayed my order and I told ford not to bother waiting for it. With that I am regreting not having it fitted and have to put up with a rubbish Parrot system, anyways looooooooooooong explanation over and done with. Was wondering if it would be possible to have the original system fitted, what would this involve doing and if possbile the cost involved....? thanks all!

calmcdermott Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Right i'm back agaion with this query, from eBay i can get the cd player and the computer for £60, I know i would also need to voice control button so possibly new stalks, the usb input port and the mic. I know what i need to do to install it, do i need anything else? Iv had enough of the crappy Parrot system fitted the dealer, completely useless.........

Mark M.K Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 As we said on chatzy yesterday, i really don't think it will work. You will need to replace the light inside the cabin (one with the map reading lights etc) as this holds the mic needed to make phone calls and use voice control. Unless ford have put this in, but i don't think they would be that kind! I would show you pictures of what i mean, but my car is stuck at Ford AGAIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can get a retro fit of an original ford bluetooth system but it is not cheap about 400-500 quid. I suggest sticking with the parrot as it is compatible with a larger range of modern phones the original ford system is geared more towards older bluetooth phones. For example since I have connected my blackberry storm 2 sometimes the ford system freezes and wont let me take incoming calls and most recently the car randomly starts ringing when there is no call coming to my phone. This isnt a fault with the ford system my phone is geuninly the cause of the problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbbkt Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hi just wondering if anyone has been successful yet in fitting either a bluetooth module or the bluetooth and usb. Also can anyone list the parts needed if it is possible. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
