Mondeo Titanium Sony stereo bluetooth - mj2000uk
Hi Backroom'sters

Can you help me with this.

I am considering a Mondeo Titanium and I want to haggle like hell with the dealer. I have been offered a free upgrade on the stereo to have bluetooth link to my mobile. This represents a £300.00 saving I am told.

I dont think that this is a "costed" upgrade. I think that the Sony stereo installed in the Mondeo already has bluetooth built in and its just a case of activating it via a security code.

I have this point of view as I sell fingerprint readers which have a storage capacity for 250 fingerprints. We offer some people a free upgrade to 2000 users and this is done in the same way. The function is already there, its just a case of activating it!!!

Now then, here is the big one!! If indeed this my feelingsa are correct on this, how do I activate it myself so that I can tell them to forget about that and get something else free!! Roof bars etc!!!

Let me know what you reckon guys!!!

Cheers

Mike

Assuming you mean the Sony 6006 unit (like my Mondeo Ghia has) then I think you're mistaken about built-in bluetooth... where did you get this idea from?

I have bluetooth on my Mondeo but it was an extra for the original buyer ,it works like any off the shelve bluetooth kit that can be bought at a very reasonable price in fact I installed my own Sony Ericsson unit and then found it already had the factory unit .

According to the Ford website, the Titanium only has a single cd player.
I've got a Ghia with the Sony 6006 and it's got no Bluetooth capability according to the manual.

Bluetooth & Voice Control requires an extra module in the Mondeo, and probably isn't worth paying for.

There are 2 types of Sony CD units - the single CD which is also MP3 compatible and allows you to put 8-10 albums on 1 disc, and the 6 CD changer which takes normal audio CD's only. The latter costs more and is standard on the Ghia X and ST models, personally I'd prefer MP3 over a changer as most of my music is held on the computer.
