gilto Member 218 Member For: 17y 10m 20d Gender: Male Posted 18/08/07 06:42 AM Share Posted 18/08/07 06:42 AM Hi guys,I am getting a mk 1 ba and it has premium sound already.What I would like to know is how do I get sat nav to work through the colour screen? What are my options here? If I am using the sat nav through the screen can I still listen to a cd??Also I would like a handsfree mobile phone thingymajigy... I have a sony ericsson that has bluetooth and all the bits and pieces but not sure of the best way to go about making it handsfree.Can the sat nav and phone be connected through the premium sound??I have done some searches but haven't found any info. I'm not interested in reverse cameras or ipods or mp3s etc...just the sat nav and phone....Thanks guys...appreciate it...

Here's the Aaron's HowTo doc on wiring it in...Install___XR6T_Mobile_Phone_Kit.docAFAIK - if you are using a car SatNav, then the ICC is using it's A/V input mode. No CD's, radio or other stuff.

If you don't want the cradle (therefore use bluetooth) it can be done in no time. I'd personally suggest you forget the Ford unit - I used the Nokia Bluetooth Handsfree unit (at a fraction of the cost) and have had no problems at all (using a similar method to the before mentioned attachment).As for the SatNav - I've actually never used the ford unit. Wouldn't the overlays still be functional for all the HVAC controls (no CD though)? Mine are with the DVD installed - considering its using the SatNav inputs??
