Bluetooth For Fairmont Ghia

[Xm coupe]

Hey guys I just bought myself a BA Fairmont Ghia. I am looking to fit a Bluetooth kit to it ( I still can't believe this isn't standard)

I was wondering if there is a kit you can buy to run it completely throught the radio similar to the set up in the FG mkII and just wrie up a mic? is there anything out their like that?

There is a Ford BT kit for the BA/F, that has a single button and runs through the car audio.

I would not touch it as from memory it is about $500.

Get yourself a Parrot kit that can easily be wired up to the speakers the same as the Ford one for 1/2 the price and 10x the features.

I can't remember exactly how much I paid for my Ford kit but it was no where near $500.

Just do the install yourself. Saves you heaps and it's not hard. The kit comes with everything you need including instructions.

I went for the Ford kit because I wanted it seemlessly intergrated into the car.

How many cars that went on sale in 2002 at that price point have got BT standard?

You'd expect it now, but not 7 years ago.

Yeah I have found the ford kit on sale on ebay for $300. Do you access it still via the menu on the radio or is if different????

Admittedly not many cars came out with BT in 2004. But the fairmont Ghia isn't exactly the base modle and was meant to be competeing with alot of european cars which did have BT.

The Ford kit puts a button just above the tissue box holder. It all fits in very neatly.

Oh ok, does it still ask for the pin on the radio to pair the devices?

Does any one know any where you can buy the Lumen Factory Bluetooth other then through ford or this guy on ebay? The one on ebay doesn't match the Fairmont Facia.

No. The pin is entered on the phone.
