They do now. Or you can just skip the iDevice entirely and plug in a USB memory stick if you want.

Ford Aus gets there in the end, just takes them a bit longer to implement fancy things in the locally produced vehicles.

So don't worry about changing your cable, just change the vehicle. :brightidea:

G'day All,

I have searched the forums here and on plenty other sites with no results.

I recently (well more like 4 months ago) replaced my single zone non-colour screen ICC with a dual zone colour screen ICC.

The swap was perfect and yes I do know that the ICC will not do dual zone, but everything on the ICC works.

The issue I am having is that since swapping the ICC over the iPod System and the Bluetooth modules are not working.

The bluetooth module does not activate and does not try to search or
even connect to my phone. (It was working fine prior to the ICC swap).

The iPod system has no power going to it and is non-responsive at all.

Has anyone ever had this issue or does anyone know how to fix these issues.

I have taken my car to, what I now believe 4 Ford dealerships, and none
of them are able to help me and do not know what will fix it.

I am up to the point where I am looking at buying back the old ICC or one like it and giving up on the colour one.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank You Kindly,

Matt

Is your car a mk1? If it is, under the trim near the t-bar there is 2 connectors for the aux port under the ICC. try swapping them over. I work at a dealer and it is a thing ive noticed and even done myself when fitting new ICC's to these. What difference they make and why theres 2 connectors there ive got no idea lol

with the bluetooth issue was the new ICC from another car or brand new? if it was secondhand or even a reco unit it might just need a new module. im pretty sure the module is changeable and can be removed from the top of the ICC.

Good luck

When swapping icc's the FDIM must be programmed along with the AIM (ipod module) and BPM (bluetooth module) if they do not all have matching vin numbers the system will not interface correctly, it can take some playing around to get right.

If an inhale exhale was not done on the previous icc you will need to inhale data from a similar car and program those 3 modules with that cars vin, this should allow them to work.

Also the bpm and aim must be enabled in personality settings and the icc must be set to single zone

I am having the same problem. Bought a second hand colour screen and swaped it, replacing the mono colour one. So I only replaced the screen and not the whole ICC.

Bluetooth works (using my original module) but the ipod function doesn't. The seller told me that Bluetooth would have worked as the car that the screen was taken off did have it. He didn't say anything about the ipod which leads me to believe that it didn't have it.

bionicxr6t05 - How would I go about enabling the AIM (ipod module)?

Yeh just replace the female connector. You'll need to solder the wires on. Just have to get a new jack... Might aswell grab another good quality male----male cable aswell. Jaycar have got ya bits.

I dont know how true this is so dont take it as given, but this put me off getting an iPod and going with the Creative Nomad.
