On my 6-CD changer radio, there is a small phone icon. When it is pressed it says 'NO PHONE'.

I know this is a pre-Intel sync vehicle, but a friend has this same icon on his Dodge, and it allows him to connect to his bluetooth cell phone.

Anybody know what this is, or how it works? It may be that an aftermarket part may be needed, and the CD/Radio is prewired for it.

Thanks in advance....

Maybe Ford was just 'playing' to see what they could do before Intel Sync. was completed.

Just sounded funny that the CD player/radio had an icon for something that would not work. Not very cost effective.....

Checked web site. Parts now on sale for $370.54. Still sounds way too high considering Juputer (sp) Jack is a lot cheaper.
