Bluetooth Connection And No Remote Controls

I've just bought an 08 MK7 fiesta Zetec TDCI with bluetooth.

If I connect my phone (Nokia X6) via bluetooth its works perfectly but I loose the ability to use the steering wheel remote radio controls to tune or change radio station, they do nothing.

Is this normal?

Thanks

    If you mean control Bluetooth Audio Playback from the phone then it can be normal not all phones allow tracks to be changed via Bluetooth, the volume buttons on steering wheel should always work no matter what mode you are in. If the radio controls stop working then thats weird and I'd pop back to the dealership!

    I thought it was just linked to the bluetooth connection but tonight in the car with no phone connected the remote controls still did not work.

    It seems to be an intermitent problem.

    I thought it was the bluetooth connection as the other night when I turned it off the remote controls started to work again.

    Oh well back to Ford it is.
