Hello,

in a few weeks I'll get my new Ford car - equipped with the built-in bluetooth handsfree device. I tried to connect my MDA 3 to this device at several Ford dealers but didn't get any connection.

The MDA finds a "Ford Audio" but can't establish a connection.

Who has any ideas ?

Thanks in advance - Dieter

I have the same problem with a new mondeo...

Everything works with an old nokia 6630 (with a small nokia application I can browse the phonebook as well) but I'm not able to pair the bluetooth ford audio system with my HTC TyTN...

Any ideas?

As far as I know, you'll need to update the Radio portion of your device's ROM based software (the basic software that drives the device).

The best bet in your case I believe would be to just grab a new complete update for your device by searching the wiki for downloads for your device. Download a newer official ROM, install it and try again.

You will lose all saved data on the device though so back it up>

Did upgrading the bluetooth stack fix this connectivity issue to Ford Audio Bluetooth Handsfree devices?

Same problem. I've tried to upgrade bluetooth stack: my BA finds "Ford Audio" but doesn't connect. Please give us some help

after correct pairing (code 0000), press "Phone" on the caraudio system and then "Menu". After that press left or right joypad on the caraudio to set the "Active Phone". It will search and your phone will be correctly paired.

The last paired phone will be automatically active when you turn on the caraudio system next time.

In some cases will also help to install on the device the JETware application... just try.

Thank you dark horse, followed your advice and it worked just fine. I can now connect via bluetooh in my ford.
