      Many thanks mate, unfortunately this adaptor only streams music it doesn't have a microphone so caller on the other side can't hear you. There are variants that work exactly the same as this adaptor that also feature a microphone

      Hi, this does seem to be a little bit of an issue in some cars over other cars. Feed back/alternator/earth interference I believe I've heard people say with this issue you have. Maybe see if there are any youtube video fixes with others installing anything "inline" to help with the interference.

    Two quick questions. Would this work for a TX Territory? And should I disconnect the battery while doing this or is this fine to do while the cars just turned off.
    Also, does it matter what fuse you go into? No clue about these things as I've never health with car electronics etc.
    Cheers!

    • @FordMercGuy
      @FordMercGuy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Howdy mate,
      I haven't worked on a territory with this adapter personally but I always see ebay listings stating falcon/territory so may work fine. And to be safe, sure disconnect battery.
      I personally use fuses for non major functions just incase it blows one day.
      Cheers

      @@FordMercGuy ended up having a real good look on there and taking a bunch of the plastic trims off and thought I found it, but it ended up being an identical piece to what is on the Bluetooth piece, connected to a little box with a label saying "eurovox rc wdf09 RCA harness ford" have absolutely no idea what that is, but then also noticed a red white yellow RCA port drilled into the centre console.
      From the looks of it the previous owner had something installed, and seems like they've done a half assed job at taking it out.
      Back of the car looks like a rear view camera was removed, and a random RCA port tucked into the trim along the driver side roof.
      Might have to take it in somewhere and see what they can make of it.

    • @FordMercGuy
      @FordMercGuy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ah yes, a previous install. Might be an idea to remove as much of it as possible and start fresh but if time/energy/patience doesn't allow, sounds like disconnect that eurovox adapter and put your Bluetooth one in its place and at a later date remove the old stuff.

  • @Carcyclechronicles
    @Carcyclechronicles 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Cool! Thanks for the video, I'm looking at doing something similar with my ba.
    Wandered whether to do this or a separate head unit so I can still keep factory radio look and have amp and sub working off separate unit......

    • @FordMercGuy
      @FordMercGuy  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Cheers mate no worries! Yeah I had thought similar things too. Since this was just a cheap daily, I managed to suffice with Bluetooth adapter and in line line level converter and connected my sub and amp to that from the rear speakers as the signal for the amp and it works great. So I'm happy with the factory look and sub and amp + Bluetooth on the cheap. I have Vids on all the above too if it helps mate.

      Frustrating hey bro!
      I'm a little unsure as to why you can't see it. You plugged into the adapter under the dash? In my experience should come up immediately. Have you tried changing modes on the steering wheel cycling through, FM, FM2 , AM and see if aux comes through there?

    • @ActuallyGoose
      @ActuallyGoose ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@Ford Merc Guy 5 minutes in, believe it was for your amp.
      Couldn't seem to see one on mine, so I wasn't sure if you had an aftermarket amp wired in.
      Also, any idea what size ring terminal did you have for grounding? Cheers!

    • @FordMercGuy
      @FordMercGuy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Ah yes, I do have an aftermarket amp wired in, so I had doubled up on the same fuse for the switched ignition.
      Unfortunately unable to recall the size of the ring terminal. Should however be a little smaller than 10mm as from memory that was the size of the nut
