the radio display, enter "0000" in your mobile phone and then the PIN that appears on the radio display.

If you authorise the Bluetooth connection to Ford Audio, your phone will automatically connect when the vehicle is

take calls.

Enjoying mobile music in your Ford *
You can connect a number of different mobile music sources to your Ford audio system and listen to the music
of your choice in high quality stereo sound.
Additional information on the compatibility of music players and how to connect them can be found in step-by-
step video instructions on: www.ford-mobile-connectivity.com
Depending on the audio system, you can choose from the following music sources:
UsB storage media
Just connect e.g. a USB storage medium to the USB port in your Ford and choose it as the playback source on
your audio system’s menu. You will see the file structure of your USB storage medium on the display. Supported
audio formats: MP3, WMA and WAV.
note:
The first time you connect your USB storage medium, it may take some time to load the music data, depending
on the number of tracks. Once the data has been completely loaded, there will be no further waiting time in fu-
ture. If you change the data on the USB storage medium, the system will treat it as a first-time connection, and it
will again take time to load the information. We do not recommend the use of USB hard drives.
apple iPod
You can operate your iPod just like you usually do very easily via the Ford audio system. For the best operating com -
fort and optimal sound quality, we advise using the original Apple USB cabl\
e. The direct connection temporarily
overrides any existing playback via Bluetooth audio streaming for the appliance that is connected via USB.
Bluetooth music source, for example smart Phones
Via the Bluetooth connection you can play music tracks stored on your mobile phone in stereo.
how to activate the music source of your choice

Bluetooth) by pressing the "AUX" button repeatedly until you see it displayed, or via voice command. The device
you selected will automatically begin playback.

You can also use the USB port to charge your mobile device.
The volume of Bluetooth audio devices depend on the device itself. Please make sure that you set the volume to
the maximum level on the device.
* Mobile music functions are only available with the "USB/iPod" equipment package. In this case your car will be equipped with
a USB port, which is located, depending on the car model, either in the glove compartment, the centre console or the armrest
compartment.
