    Hi

    Bought a new Mondeo a couple of months back (zetec). Absolutely delighted with the car in general but cannot get the built in bluetooth to sync up with any mobile so far (have tried a nokia and blackberry)
    Anyone else have these problems or any ideas on how to get around it?

    Cheers

    Tried it both ways and tried de-activating and re-activating the bluetooth a few times but it wasn't picking it up at all!

    Although I only tried it with the engine on and off with the blackberry, only tried the nokia with the engine off - do you think it could make a difference?

    I can't figure out if it's an issue with the bluetooth or if it's just not intended to pair with blackberry bluetooth - the manual does say it's not compatible with all phones!

    Well there is a relay in the mondeo that switchs off some electrics until the car is running.

    We got a Parrot bluetooth kit fitted in a 08 Mondeo the other day in work. The same cables were used that would be used for the built in Bluetooth unit. The Parrot kit would turn on but after a few seconds the relay kicked in and knocked it off. But with the engine running its fine.

    As a matter of interest what kind of handset were you using when it paired ok?

    I just want to try and establish if it is just a blackberry problem or a problem with the bluetooth in the car by process of elimination..

    The car is obviously under warranty so I'm not too bothered if it is a problem with the car, but the garage I bought from weren't great so I'd prefer to try and sort it myself if possible than go through the hassle of getting them to sort it out!

    Cheers :o

    Well we didn't have a built in bluetooth in the mondeo we got one fitted. It paired with a Blackberry 8100 and Nokia 6300 perfecto.

    Here are people that have them working etc

    Excellent stuff, thanks a mill for the advice!

    Will give it one last go tomorrow and if all else fails will resign myself to going back to the garage!

    thanks again! :D
