Bluetooth Hands Free Kit Genuine Ford

[F6RD]

Hi all

I am looking at getting a genuine Ford hands free bluetooth kit and was wondering if they are any good.

I have purchased aftermarket kits but none of them have really work 100% of the time.

I have been looking on ebay and they are fairly cheap now.

Please let me know if anyone has had a problem with them.

Cheers Baz

I've for one in my BF. It works well and is easy to install.

The main problem is probably more to do with the phone you're going to use with it, rather than the unit itself.

I have one in my BF ute also. Easy to install, instructions are in it mainly just plug together stuff, works well with my iphone4.

Thanks guys

I will be getting one if they work well with the iphone 4.

Cheers

Do they work with ba mk 2?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Yes they do.

Anybody been able to play music through the bluetooth connection from and Iphone etc...?

Yep. It's terrible. Worst part is you can't turn it off.

If you have Bluetooth on anything your phone does will be broadcast through the BT. Playing music, message alerts etc.

If only Apple would include the ability to turn off individual BT protocols.

There used to be a jailbroken app that could do it. Worked perfectly. Not sure if it's still around these days.

Fg one must be different.

They do. As noted above it is the phone itself that may cause an issue. So phone selection is important.

What is not generally known is that the units can also stream audio into the car's sound system. My kids play DJ from the back seat using iPod Touch 8... and 32 GB.

Also as noted above, iPhone 4 works.

What is needed is a current list of phones that work acceptably with the system. The original list supplied by Ford is now somewhat dated.

Ideally we would have a rolling list of at least the following:

• Nokia (Symbian and coming soon Windows 7)
  
• iPhone
  
• Samsung,
  
• LG,
  
• Motorola,
  
• HTC (Android and Windows Mobile 6.5 and 7)
  
• Sony-Ericsson

The FG has dedicated BT music streaming. The system is built for iPods.

The BA/BF kit is only a BT phone kit. It's only mono sound.

I use the AUX audio kit for playing music off my iPhone.
