THinking about adding the OEM nav unit...does it have bluetooth capability? Are there any add-ons I would need for it to work properly?

 

no it does not....ford has not added it yet...unknown when avalible. dealer said it was aval when i got my truck, when arrived he made mistake...bluetooth only for non navi vehicles

 

so it's available for my truck as it is now? do you happen to know what i'd have to add in order for it to work?

too bad its not available for the navi...gonna make my decision harder now! thanks for getting back to me

 

i'm told by others that it does have bluetooth capability...can anyone else way in on this, please? thx!

 

maybe 2008 model does...but 2007 and older did not 7 months ago....i was told that it was, but then when arrived, i wanted it added...it is a dealer option not factory....i was told only the non navi units could support the ford bluetooth....

 

If you have the overhead rail system you can get a bluetooth system that snaps into that. www.brandmotion.com

My 2007 has it but I am going to get a stereo that has nav and bluetooth built in.

In short, no the factory nav system does not have bluetooth (at least it did not when I bought my 2007KR).

 

I installed three Ford Mobile Ease systems today in two F150s and a Edge. All three vehicles had nav units. When the Mobile Ease turns on it displays the word phone on the nav screen but there is no function on the nav unit other than volume control. The nav unit that was in the Edge had a button titled "PHONE" but it doesn't do anything. I have yet to see one that did anything.

A couple days ago I installed a remote start and headrests in a Edge that had the new Mobile Sync system in it. It was pretty cool. It linked right up to my T-Mobile Wing smartphone and would even let me broadcast my music from the phone to the radio via bluetooth.

 

I just bought a Megellan 4040 at Costco for $299.00 and it has bluetooth and works with my LG phone. The nav. unit is the speaker not the radio and you can't adjust the volume but is plenty loud. I am very happy with this unit and just downloaded updates from Magellan. The 4040 is a great unit at an incredible value.
