I want to play audio from my phone but the bluetooth only connects for calls. Is there a way of doing this. I like to listen to audio books while driving.

How do I find the model number so I can get a manual for it

Thanks in advance for any help

    Whenever somebody asks this I always say that you have to remember what technology was around in 2008. When your car was built, the original iPhone had just been released. Storing music on the same device you make phone calls on was very much not a thing, nevermind playing it over Bluetooth.

    Also worth noting the Bluetooth module is separate to the stereo, so changing the stereo to another Ford unit won't do anything.

    Thanks friend. I am hoping there may be an add on module. There is a CD/AUX button but I am not sure if the AUX part is accessible. Maybe the manual will help

    The aux is meant for the 3.5mm headphone jack.

    I cant see a 3.5mm jack yet, it may be an option that wasn't fitted.

    The Aux 3.5mm jack was not fitted on the Galaxy.

    You could replace the whole unit with a Chinese Android unit, about £300
