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?

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.

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.

It all fits in very neatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on ebay doesn't match the Fairmont Facia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
