Default Re: Nav System & Bluetooth

Rich,

I had it installed at Royal Radio in Royal Oak Michigan. Royal Radio was recommended by my dealer and by someone that I talked to at Visteon because they are the authorized service center for Visteon & Ford.

Visteon makes both the NAV head unit and the Bluetooth hands free kit that I'm using (although I found out that Visteon handsfree is re-branded from Parrot). Ford does not have a cable kit for this head unit (not sure why), but it does have a phone audio and phone mute trigger input, so just about any hands free kit could be made to work.

I've been promising to post info on how my unit is hooked up, but have not been able to get to it yet because I have been finishing my design project (I just graduated from U of M). The IGVC competition, where my project will be competing, is this weekend and then I will be gone for a week on vacation. I will try to post photos and pinout info after I get back.


Mike
