Installing Bluetooth and USB

Post by jmitton »

Hi,

Currently I have the standard stereo with out bluetooth and USB. The current stereo has the basic display and only 6 buttons on the front.

What is involved in fitting a new stereo with 9 buttons and the bigger display with Bluetooth and USB functions?

Or would it be easier to fit a Parrot Bluetooth system?

Having looked into it myself I concluded it was much easier (and cheaper) to fit a parrot system. IIRC to do it the ford way you need a new radio, surround, display, Bluetooth/USB module, and a friendly dealer to activate it all but I could be wrong. On the other hand for a parrot system you just need a parrot system (obviously) and an sot harness/lead. Obviously it won't look as "factory" but from what I can tell it works just as well plus you can choose the features you want/need.

I'm looking at the CK3100 personally. Pretty sure there is an installation guide online somewhere. Think its on this or one of the other Ford forums.
