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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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)iPhoneSamsung, LG, Motorola, HTC (Android and Windows Mobile 6.5 and 7)Sony-Ericsson Regards,aa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
