Review on 🎧 Enhanced Bluetooth Audio Interface - USA SPEC BT45-FORD2 for Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury vehicles (2005-11) with satellite radio by Travis Oetting

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Does exactly what it says.

I have a 2007 Ford Expedition EL with navigation and wanted to get rid of the AUX-in cable and Bluetooth FM cigarette lighter adapter. Expeditions do not have switchable 12V outlets, they are always on. That way I would have to pull out my adapter just enough to cut power so I don't kill my battery. Also, FM broadcasting doesn't sound as good as cable. I read the reviews before purchasing and was a bit concerned that some reviews said it would still make your companion work and others didn't. The manufacturer says yes. I took the chance and it happened. Make sure your DIP switches are correct. I have this Bluetooth on SAT 1, and then both SAT 2 and SAT 3 work fine. On Saturday 1st, it will say "Bluetooth" in the lower right corner, and then the YouTube song LYRICS will appear in the middle panels. Check out my photos. My only wish was that it was cheaper, but being able to keep the factory system integrated with the rear RES DVD, steering wheel controls and other features was worth it. My Expedition's satellite tuner was mounted on the underside of my center console and was very difficult to reach.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • No power
