Beer Barrel Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Does anyone know where I can get blue tooth phone installed in my Ford Focus 1.6 zetec (09 plate) and any idea what it might cost. The radio / dash has telephone symbols . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFoot Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I would imagine it's more an issue of whether your phone supports bluetooth in a way the car likes. All you need is a charger to plug in to the car/phone then you're off. Shouldn't need fitting. EDIT: Does the car manual not say anything about phones etc? Do you know the model number of the stereo?

Beer Barrel Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 My mobile phone supports blue tooth , i was not aware that I could buy a chrger to plug in and the phone would then work through the radio / dash ? Do you know who sells them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFoot Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Have a look on amazon for in car phone chargers. Most modern phones have moved to use the same plug (micro USB I think - but check your phone model). Should be able to get one one for £5-8, don't pay more than £15! You need to check your manual for car/stereo to see if it has mic for handsfree calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaFoot Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 How will an in car charger allow bluetooth operation if the radio won't support it? I have twice asked OP to provide details about stereo to find out the stereo certainly supports it. In the OP he seemed confident (to my reading) it does.

If your car supports blue tooth and your phone does all you need to do is pair the phone up to the radio...you don't need a kit or charger..I have a blackberry and a bluetooth enabled mondeo..no problem at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFoot Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 you don't need an in car charger.. Not until you find your phone dies after 20 minutes on a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
