mikester Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Thanks to Nath we can safely say this can be done provided you have the hardware and someone who can be bothered to use IDS rather than fobbing you off with crap like 'it can only be done from factory' Oh and my personal highlight.... SPOTIFY WORKS OVER STREAMING inc track display!!! Oh I'm happy. Now to find a cheap module :) This is for anyone who commented or took an interest in that mammouth 'USB can it be done' thread. Get ringing scrappies and talk to nath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm gonna write to Spotify and ask for commission after getting you to keep your subscription,,, ;) So, yeah peeps, it is possible with a new module, wire, fascia plate & willing Ford/personwithFordhardware :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nz0 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 wow! sounds awesome! When you say 'fascia plate', I'm assuming you just mean the little bit where the 3.5mm jack is? If you don't mind me asking, how much did this cost you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikester Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Nath can fill you in on the prices. All I can say is never buy from ford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamparnell Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Reckon its feasible to install bluetooth / usb in a car that only has the six button radio if I upgrade that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 When you say 'fascia plate', I'm assuming you just mean the little bit where the 3.5mm jack is? Correct, it's this bit If you don't mind me asking, how much did this cost you? From Ford it'll be around £350 for parts alone - you need to ring scrappies (though good luck, I rang 50 this morning before I found one!) Reckon its feasible to install bluetooth / usb in a car that only has the six button radio if I upgrade that? I don't see why not :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamc260 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 How much data does spotify use though if your streaming it? Wouldn't it be more cost effective to store the songs on your phone (My phone has 48gb and I'm never going to fill that!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be more cost effective to store the songs on your phone (My phone has 48gb and I'm never going to fill that!) None. You use "make available offline" and sync over wifi, even if I didnt use this I've got unlimited data (truely unlimited, no fair use 1gb cap) so not an issue. Considering the additional cost of the 32 and 64gb versions this option is far better. I love not paying for individual tracks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi Lez What does the navigation menu do. I have had my bluetooth activated but dont have this new menu. Certain phones (mainly old Nokia's) can play the sat nav through the stereo including showing directional arrows on screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lez Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Certain phones (mainly old Nokia's) can play the sat nav through the stereo including showing directional arrows on screen. yes, just you need a SD card which cost £200 :D LOL so i do not think someone will use it.

NathanS Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Bumping this thread as 2 of those part numbers were wrong. Have included the correct ones now This looks interesting, do these parts work with the basic 6 button headunit without the nice matrix display? Or would I need to update that also as part of the retrofit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
