What does everyone think of the new blue tooth in the fg's. Mine seems to work fine but I am a little disappointed that the caller name does not show on the screen only the number shows up. This is annoying, as I have to pick up the phone every time a call comes in to check the caller id. Can anyone get caller id names to show on the screen?

I am a bit annoyed that the iPhone does not work with it.. whether it is a iPhone issue or a Ford Bluetooth issue (think its more iPhone).. Have to wait till one is upgraded to fix it..

I love the idea of it but mine plays up heaps in my G6E turbo - same with the one my mate has :(

sometimes the music doesnt turn off and then it says call ended and then it usually comes fine. its a major PITA when I'm trying to speak to a customer or something n I can't hear em over the stereo

anyone else have the same problem?

Hi ya all, I've gone and purchased the FG-XRT with the Techpack installed & what pee'ves me is that I can't pair my $1300 Sony Eric P900 phone with the FG car kit - No listing of the phone when paired with the kit...

Maybe FORD should be also sell compatible phones that actually work with their car kits & also be clear on what phone models do work prior to contract signning.

Now do I spend more money on another phone??? >>> No bluddy way!!!

Firmware on phone is the latest & would luv to know what spec the Bluethooth FG phone kit is. I think its a TH Bury but the model is unknown to me & I would really like to determine what Bluetooth versions it can handle. Eg, Bluetooth 1 & 2+ or just B2 only... any tips/hints/info would be tops anyone???

Been pretty good to me thus far *touches wood* I like the fact that the music being played doesn't mute until the call is answered or picked up.

I think it states in the manual that whether or not the name is displayed on the screen is dependent on the mobile network being used. And that your phones ring tone may be played through the car speakers if your phone is compatible in that way.

Volume and clarity seem pretty good. Lets just hope it lasts the test of time :)

The first time I hooked up the phone (Nokia N95) the music didn't turn off when the call picked up but since then it hasn't happened again. My ringtone plays through the speakers and my phone also sounds out the name of who is calling through the speakers.

Great peice of kit!
