I have taken a risk in that a relative drove it for me and I have only seen photos of it. When the car was advertised is said there was USB/Aux input. I can't find any information on what these inputs are for. Can someone enlighten me.Is it for charging phones, attaching USB keys for music, or just part of the apple I device system.I will be picking it up tomorrow morning with a 6-7 hour drive to follow I would like to know what I need to have ready so I can enjoy my own music.ThanksDean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say phone I know it works charging Iphone but it does not charge samsungAux is for playing mp3 (ipods) you will need a 3.5mm jackTo use these on the dash there is a button that reads MEDIA press that and it will put you through to which setting youre after, USB or AUX and BLUETOOTHEnjoy the drive mate enjoy the new car and welcome to the sleeper club. Remember to post up some pics we like pics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mk2 FG's have a generic USB input in the centre console, but I'm fairly certain all Mk1's are ipod cable and 3.5mm jack, unless the G6E Turbo's are different? If it is the same as all other Mk1 FG's then if you've got an ipod/iphone you can use the ipod cable (as long as it's not an iphone 5) and control the music from it through the ICC. Otherwise you'll have to use the 3.5mm input if you have an android or windows phone/audio player.Also, be sure to post up in the new members thread introducing yourself and share some photos once you pick her up bud...we all like photos Edited 21/08/14 10:06 PM by .Stripes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockies Member 68 Member For: 11y 3m 1d Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 22/08/14 12:14 PM Share Posted 22/08/14 12:14 PM Yeah, 2010 has the iPhone connector in the centre console, and a nifty little leather pocket to hold it. Being a 2010, it the older Apple connector, so iPhone 5 and up will need the adapter - which works, I use one in mine.And as already mentioned, There is a 3.5mm "headphone jack" AUX input next to the ciggy lighter/power source.The button on the ICC is CD/AUX in a 2010 FG.Can also select inputs from the steering wheel as well.

This will b my 1st Ford but I cant find a reason not to buy one of these things, they seem to be a really good car. Am looking at a 50th anniversary model with 80k on the clock and ould appreciate any pointers in hat to look for before buying. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP3 CD did the job nicely.Got the car and am super impressed so far. A slight brake issue that the previous owners have tried to suggest is normal, but I am thinking someone has warped a rotor or there is a damaged wheel bearing warping the rotors. Will get it looked at shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be looking great after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
