Hi Everyone 

my daughter has an 08 Ford Focus

the phone function does not work 

if i fit a sony DAB will it work the phone hands free 

I don’t see a mic anywhere, is it separate or is it built into the radio itself 

 

thank you Roger

Your daughters car is 15 years old, back then BluTooth was a luxury and expensive, so it needed option equipment to work, As you say, microphone/BT module etc wasn't 'standard'. Even if fitted, it didn't stream music, only speech. If you are swapping the whole head unit, as long as it has BT built in, and you fit a microphone, no reason why it won't work.

Now, do you mean DAB, instead of BT? Wasn't aware that BT needed an aerial? I get DAB but added a simple converter plugged into the original head unit AUX unit, with a MagMount aerial...

My 08 Focus came with bluetooth & voice control.  Was standard on the Titanium as far as I know.  The microphone is in the roof console.

The radio doesn't need to be the DAB version, basic Sony version will work as long as you add the bluetooth module.

I'm guessing it was like this?

Yes, but in light grey.  The black is for ST's. :smile:
