beastrado Member 23 Member For: 11y 8m 24d Posted 24/09/13 01:05 PM Share Posted 24/09/13 01:05 PM Ive been looking into this ccpl.. I ordered an I-wave bluetooth - 30pin iphone adapter but found out it sources analog from the iphone.I think the ford ICC would seek a digital signal (control track, display name etc) so as far as I can tell that link above is the only way directly.My FG has bluetooth but only to receive calls. I tryed my logitech bluetooth hooked up to the aux input and just running power from a usb charger but it has alot of alternator whine... Next step if I wanted to go the bluetooth route would be to wire in a buck converter that should supply me with a clean 5V to run the bluetooth module. Its cheap enough for me to test - about $10. Ill let you know how it goes. I havent checked with ford if they have a bluetooth solution for streaming media.If it all works out and the sound is fairly decent I might make a more permanent setup and hide the wiring.

pondy New Member 18 Member For: 7y 8m 29d Posted 05/07/17 10:50 PM Share Posted 05/07/17 10:50 PM Haha sorry to resurrect this thread, but I found it a few months back and I really wanted to get the iPod interface working with my Android phone - with the song metadata (artist,song name etc). The original developer stopped supporting this app and it didn't work with the FG Mk1. Another guy picked it up and started updating it for other cars, at this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-podemu-connect-android-to-30pin-t3234840 It still didnt work out of the box, but luckily the source code is available online, After about 5 hours fiddling with the cable and another 15 or so hours looking at the source code, I've managed to compile a version that works! So to confirm, this is an android phone (Nexus 5) connected to the iPod port of the FG Mk1 (G6E Premium Sound). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
