Jon12345 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I've been looking at autotrader to find myself a fiesta. I wanted one where I can use bluetooth from my phone to the Speakers, rear parking sensors and (ideally) voice control. My car budget is around £9K. Now, many of these cars have one but not the other etc. So, can I get a garage to add any of these extras ? How much would they cost? Do they integrate how they would if you had bought the car with them in the first place? Thanks, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford_Man Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Rear parking sensor is an easy retro fit however many will not mute/lower the volume of the radio when you put it into reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazman23 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 If you get one without bluetooth, adding bluetooth and voice control will be quite an expensive spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon12345 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 I can do without voice control, although I would prefer it. However, I really want bluetooth. The fiesta model is likely to be 2012. But in those models, I am unclear which have bluetooth and which don't. I would love to have one of the newer looking fiestas too but it would mean I couldn't afford the titanium model. I'm now thinking of spending £10K! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now thinking of spending £10K! Well, when I was looking (this was this time last year actually) Some of the descriptions of the cars didnt specify if they had bluetooth, infact the description for my car didn't specify it. I knew it had it though because if you look at the difference on the interior, the center console where the Stereo controls, the right had side buttons will have the numbers 1-9 and * and #, where as the non-bluetooth models had only buttons 1 to 6 in two collumns. Hope that helps. I'm not sure how useful the voice module is as my voice module doesn't work but i'm not paying the Ford dealer £95 just to have a look at it. I don't know if its the same with the newer fiestas, I have 2009 Mk 7 (first of the new shapes i think) and the Aux in port on the radio for plugging your phone in relies on the bluetooth module being there, so if it has bluetooth it will more than likely have Aux-In and USB ports depending on Age (I have no USB port :( ) I have a Zetec model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon12345 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 That does help thanks. If you look at some of the pics on autotrader, they show voice control on the screen but not in the text. So, to use bluetooth, do I have to plug my phone into the aux or something? Or can I just have bluetooth on my phone turned on and enabled bluetooth on the fiesta? Some of these 2012 cars have Sony sterio if that makes any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you don't have to plug the Phone in to the Aux port to use the bluetooth, I just meant that in my fiesta it runs through the module as like an extra, dunno why. Sorry for the confusion. the Aux port is just used to play music through the Speakers, plugs into your headphone socket. But is NOT needed for bluetooth to work Not sure about the sony Stereos though. If you go and view any cars though its probably worth a nosy at what features it has :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Spoken Waffle Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 these fiestas should have usb inputs - i haven't tried it but i'd assume they'd let you make phone calls through it. usb music is better than bluetooth music - the phone volume control is independent from the cars, so you have to max the phone volume, then control from the car. annoying because when i go home and use my bluetooth speaker it's max volume... usb audio also lets me control shuffle from the car, in my fiesta, and there's a button that auto plays similar songs to what's currently on, which doesn't work via bluetooth on my iPhone. it's very very useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff4155 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have a Titanium model and to be honest I never use the voice message of the car, I do use bluetooth and then press the home button on my iPhone to be able to speak to Siri, works like a dream and her capabilities are endless, with the press of one button I can tell her what to do. I am not to clued up on Samsung, but I'm sure they have something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillyallan Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I use the bluetooth all the time. Unfortunately it doesn't work just as well with my s5mini as it did with my s3 mini but guess that's mainly down to Samsung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
