Just because you drive an older Ford does not mean you are not able to upgrade to new technology.
While it is true that due to their lack of support for more attractive modern media formats, many already have or plans to replace the factory radio; but those adamant about hanging on to the original radio we offer a line of products sure to open up different options for listening to music and other audio content. The BT3-FORD2 upgrades the radio in select 1995-98 Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda; to support (1) Hands-free call: Is not only less distracting than trying to juggle a phone while steering but it’s also the only legal way to do it in many states. (2) Audio streaming:Allows users to play internet music, listen to turn-by-turn directions and more. (3) AVRCP profile: Allows car radio/steering wheel button "SEEK" buttons to change tracks, adjust device volume, answer/end calls etc. (4) USB charging: Provides 5V/2A charging current to keep devices charged while on the road from connected Smartphone, Tablet, Kindle, Laptop etc. After a one time pairing session, these proud vehicle owners are on their way to making/receiving hands-free calls, streaming music applications, turn-by-turn directions, Podcast and more on the car system all without wires.
