The lads at Ford said its got a B module in it and it needs to be upgraded to a C module....what the!! The cars not even a year old so not very happy..any ideas Ladies and Gents....dont really want to spend the $650 they quoted me to upgrade it?Outbound calls work well so does the voice tags....sometimes...appreciate any advice I can get.

The B doesnt work with Iphones too well so they bought out an upgraded unit. Sucks that you have to pay for it but when the FG was released Iphones werent very popular lol.

KeepLeft Member 240 Member For: 15y 10m 4d Gender: Male Posted 18/07/10 02:40 PM Share Posted 18/07/10 02:40 PM (edited) Agreed. This is an apple problem full stop. I've seen it in a few different makes, even the luxury brands.Anyone know how much the upgraded BT modules are?

You have to get the dealer to fit it.I just removed the old and plugged in the new with no success, however got the dealer to fit it and all is perfect.I have OS4 on my 3G and now the custom ringtones are working through the stereo! WAHOO.On the Apple vs Ford debate...other vehicles like my parents BMW's that were built before the iphone work with the iphone so I don't think it is as simple as Apple's fault..Personally I blame bluetooth inc. for not establishing a protocol that means all phones with the bluetooth logo work with all accessories with bluetooth logo. I have written to the owners of the bluetooth logo.
