So you’ve had it installed for 8 months.
What’s the verdict?
@MSTA57 Highly recommend. Works great and for the ease of install and price you can’t beat it.
@@BrowneysGarage hows it going 17 months later? :p Also how well does the hands free sound?
How do I do this on my Ford Territory ghia which does not have an auxiliary
My territory GHIA won't go into AUX MODE th-cam.com/users/shorts0DC5jNEWvSU?feature=share
I bought a kit after watching this vid,received it today and installed it straight away, absolutely love it, thanks Matt and Browney .👍👍👍
@Les B Awesome, glad you like it mate. Great product. Thanks for watching 👍
How you bought it because Iam staying at south Africa but for me a tray to buy at at Amazon but didn't have at
Thanks Browney mines just arrived will fit it on the weekend. Looking forward to seeing more work on your BA
Thanks Bill, you'll be out enjoying it in no time, it really is dead easy.
Plenty more coming, one more common issue fixed and out next Thursday then the mods will start. Subscribe to stay tuned if you haven't already and thanks for the support!
Just fitted one today to my Territory, its really great, thanks for your video and pointing me in the right direction. Just a few mins to install too. Been getting sick of the radio!
@Roger Thompson Thanks mate and glad you enjoyed. Matt really has made a great and dead easy kit where there weren't many other options available. I was getting sick of my old mixed CD's from the mid-late 2000's!
Easy to follow video mate,just installed a kit in my xr8.just come across your TH-cam channel last week and have watched most of your video’s.good to see someone doing video’s on the BA.keep up the great work.🤙
Legend, thanks mate and gals you liked the kit. Plenty more to come on the BA 👍
Cheers for the video, ordered from Matt's Audio and only took about 10 minutes to install.
Life saver mate.....literally installed in less time than the video😎 thank you
Pretty good kit for the price and easy install like you said, hope you enjoy it mate 👍
Works great on my 2007 Ford Falcon Bf Mk2 Ute. Fitted it tonight...just have to tidy up wires etc.
Was your 4 pin plug grey not blue ?
Didn't have a clue such an install could be so straight forward,i'll get me one of those kits n make another comment when it's installed, Top vid mate.
Thanks mate, it’s a pretty good solution and really well priced. Hope you enjoy it.
@@BrowneysGarage I hope you don't have too many great ideas on this model,i'll then have to keep my ba forever lol.
Not many that are that simple at least!
Awesome video bud....very helpful, yeah me to getting sick of the radio/cds (07 Territory)
@Kevin Oliphant Thanks heaps mate!
Awesome,I need one of these! cheers mate
How’s the bass when using Bluetooth? I’ve found when I have my phone hooked up through aux cable of my BA the bass is almost non existent (along with very quiet volume), but if I switch back to radio it’s very prominent. Is this any better? Cheers for the vid!
Much better with this kit than the straight AUX cord, signal is boosted with these units so should be close or same as the radio 👍
@@BrowneysGarage unreal thanks for that mate!
Hey mate just ordered one. Letting you know they are at $100 now. Cheers
Yeah nice one 👍 do you find that the Bluetooth unit draws any power from the battery when the ignition is switched off?
I've had similar devices that work fine playing music but not when making phone calls. I notice you didn't test it for phone calls, do you know if it will work when making a call?
Thanks Browney, easy to follow video, great work like all your other ones.. Just FYI for anyone else , I fitted to a BA FPV GT-P, and it needs a splitter cable also that Matty / FordAudio supplies for $10 for the Blue plug, Im not sure but think the factory Pod Gauges wont work without one.. Cheers!
@Denis Constable Thank you for adding this Denis, I hadn't come across this but makes sense.
Hope you enjoy the kit, Matt's always been great to deal with 👍
G'day browney. Nice video matey. Very helpful indeed, I have only just found out about these in the last week or so, and thought "what a superb idea". Can you please tell me something about making phone calls 1. Does it use a microphone in the control unit or the microphone on your phone ? 2. Are you using android or apple.? The reason why i'm asking is, I did buy an Ebay one, everything works fine except no bastard can hear me during phone calls, which seem to defeat the purpose of it. If you haven't had too much dramas with it I will have to get in touch with Matt. Cheers bud.
Thanks mate.
Regarding the microphone, it uses the mic in the controller and I use an iPhone.
Honestly I’ve barely used it for phone calls so I can’t answer that with a great degree of confidence, but I do recall when I was testing it initially that we tested it on phone calls and found it to work. Perhaps you could look at mounting it closer to a direct line from you speaking for better results, somewhere like the top of steering column cover or nearer your gauge cluster? Or even above you at the top of the A pillar trim? I know Matt’s kit would have more than enough length in the wiring to do so.
Hope this helps mate.
Hey browny, just found this vid. Did you swap the icc in the xr6 or did yours come with the colour screen icc?
Hey Jaryd, I didn’t it came as it is. It doesn’t have premium sound so may have been part of that?
Great video and great product. easy to install and works perfectly! Thank you! 🙂
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 👍
Would you believe I have exactly the same XR6 same color looks like we have the same options as well
I was wondering where the auxiliary was thanks for the video now I know that you're push the am button twice
Unfortunately I ordered one of the eBay versions we will have to see if it's okay if it's not I will get the version you have got
Could you answer this question for me I'm a little bit confused do we have the color displays as I want to install a reversing camera and are you able to do that with the color ICC
I do realise that we have more than grey and black because we have the blue but is it a full color screen I'm a bit confused on that one
Silly question, but is this just for BT streaming or can I use it for phone calls?
I refuse to have a FB account so I can't research it - I've tried.
So phone or no phone, and if it does have phone where is the microphone?
Awesome video, helped me out heaps 👍
Thanks mate, glad it helped somehow!
shart
you said you had an aftermarket alarm is that for the BA or is it a universal alarm?
Great video mate, just ordered one from Matt for my BA GT. Aux currently does not activate do you know if the unit needs to be plugged in first ?
@Nigel Grivell That’s right mate, won’t activate until an input is plugged into it.
Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the kit when it arrives 👍
Nigel did you need a splitter for power for your GT ? As power I was told is used for Pod gauges ? I dont know, but getting one for my GT-P too.. Cheers!
Hey Browney,,thanks for the great video,,ive just got the kit and need to install it,,im pretty sure i have the factory aux cable already there but did you have wire in the USB cable or is it there from factory??
Thanks in advance ,
Cam
@Cameron Gollings Hi Cameron, thanks mate. Nothing has to be wired in, it's all plug and play. You should be able to just disconnect the factory AUX setup and plug in the new connector for your bluetooth kit, then locate the other plug required for the kit in much the same location behind the fuse panel.
Good luck and hope you enjoy.
@@BrowneysGarage Many many thanks for reply mate,, much apprecited
Hey Browney if you are listening to the FM radio and a call comes in can you answer it or does it always have to be in aux mode to do so?
Will it work with the factory radio or do I need to buy a custom one? (I can't tell if yours is custom or not in the video😅)
How do I do this on my Ford Territory which does not have an auxiliary
Great work mate. I have an older version but will be getting this. Mine will not allow call answering
Great, Matt has just improved these kits further so would be good timing to pick one up. Hope you like it mate 👍
Fantastic instructional video 👍🏼👍🏼
@Coma Queen Thanks, glad you enjoyed 👍
Cool video!
Hey Browney, Great video would like to do the same but cant reach Matt, Is he still operating ? Thanks
Thanks Steve. Last I heard he'd just upgraded/tidied up the kit a little so I'm sure he's still operating. Maybe he missed your message, doesn't hurt to try him again.
Informative video but I'm wondering does this work on the standard stereos that came in the XT and Futura?
Would love to get more out of my Spotify
Hi Jason, thanks mate.
Yes will work with all BA and BF’s. Only difference would be that there will be no foglight/traction control buttons in some models in which case the wiring and receiver can be passed through the silver dash trim near where this would be or anywhere else that suits your needs.
Hey Browney!
Would enjoy seeing a “life with xyz” on this product.
Just to get your everyday review after installing.
Also a hands free phone and audio vid.
Pretty sure this is the one I will be going with anyway.
Thanks again for another great video
😎👍🏼
Unfortunately, my Territory has a bunch of aftermarket shit installed in that section, and the past owner has made a mess of it. Might have to try getting under there and see if I can clean it up a bit
yes! same in my 05 ba, if you have figured out a work around please let me know. also ive seen people get at fuse adapter to plug into the navigational fuse point, wondering if that might work for our situation
How does the hands free phone work.? Quality and useability wise.
I really haven't ended up using it for the handsfree a lot, mostly music. Probably not the ideal microphone location but I've been happy with it the few times I've used it for that, and it was much cheaper than any other similar option I had found 👍
Dose this still work to answer calls when listening to the AM FM radio? Because I'm not going to be listening to bluetooth music 100% of the time, but I still want Bluetooth Hands-Free
Will this work with the 2002 BA fairmont with the premium sound radio
Can I please get the exact name of this kit please
Will this work on my old Ford falcon xr6 2003 model?
Thanks mate
I wonder if Ford was planning an aux and canceled it but left it there in case they wanted to add it in a facelift
@Gta Car guy Been a while since I looked at it but off the top of my head they had an option from the start of the BA's for an AUX (or even early iPod I think) input.
Browney's Garage begs the question why isn’t it standed the the giha
Kits are now $100 std delivery in Australia for ba falcon
Not bad still really 👍
Cheers mate, mine just arrived, vid wil makes it a quick install
No worries mate, it is dead easy even with someone pointing a camera at you! Hope you enjoy it.
How does it work? What's the 4 pin and 6 pin plugs?
hi mate i bought a ba and it has an ipod cord coming out from under radio do i have to change this for an aux cord
The price quoted is between $75 -$100 which is it?
Thank you the awesome video.
I installed but I can change to aux mode even press the AM bottom.
do you know what can I do
Thanks mate
Thanks.
You can also try scrolling through the radio modes on the back of the left steering wheel control if you have it.
If you still can't find AUX mode then it sounds like the car isn't getting a signal. Does the Bluetooth controller turn on and have a light? And are all the wires connected and definitely in the correct connectors?
Hope that helps
Thanks for reply mate
Has light and I can connect with my iPhone.
I am using 3.5mm adapter which should in the same connection.
I just bought from eBay.maybe I should return it.haha
Ok if it's coming on and everything seems to be connected then I'm not too sure where else to look sorry.
Perhaps contact the seller for any other ideas?
Thanks mate I will try and let you know😁
If you can't access it through am still. It's most definately your icc unit giving the drama
Hey browneys I got the 2003 ba Ford Ute. And right now I can’t get the AUX up. Do I need to get the Bluetooth receiver first or what mate. Thanks.
@mike murray Hey Mike, you won’t be able to switch to AUX unless something is connected to those wires . Completely normal before installing any AUX input.
Browney's Garage thanks mate very helpfully love ya videos
Thanks heaps mate, appreciate it 👍
Heya! Great video, very easy to follow. But I've hit an error and I'm hoping someone can help. Each time I connect it I get the airbag light flashing me error code 19. What am I doing wrong?
That's a new one to me! Sorry I'm not going to be much help there, maybe check with Matt (who supplies the kits) to see if he's ever come across it or search some forums for similar?
Hey Browney,
Thanks for the video,
I'd like to purchase this product but dont have facebook, do you have an email address for Matt's audio,
I've searched but couldn't find anything
Hi Stef, no problem. Matt’s email is Mdj_1991117@hotmail.com .
Thanks for watching 👍
@@BrowneysGarage
Champion, Thank you
Hey mate I got a 2003 ba. Would this work on mine. Thanks.
@mike murray Hey mate, definitely should fit and work as per the video. Message Matt over at his Facebook page if your keen to pick one up (facebook.com/fordaudio/).
And thanks for watching.
Hey bro does this aply to 2002 ford falcon ba sedan
Hi just wondering does the steering wheel controls work with this device?
Hi, steering wheel controls don’t work for skip/pause & play function with this, only volume. The receiver does have these built functions and buttons though.
Thanks for watching 👍
Hey what song did you play in the car ? Sounded catchy
@Jake Rapkay Hey mate, song is Parasail by Silent Partner (th-cam.com/video/kZN2lQC8g5s/w-d-xo.html)
Cheers
Legend thanks mate
Hey browney just wondering where you got the analog clock above the ICC from.
Cheers
Jedd
Hey Jedd and thanks for watching.
The clock was there when I got the car but can be had from eBay/other second hand sources, normally just search BA Falcon ICC clock or similar.
Cheers
Browney's Garage beauty thanks
Does this work with iPhone
hey browney i brought a kit for my territory and i cant get the 6 pin in no matter what i try because of the little clip on there i tried everything to push it down and in but it wont budge and the blue on already has stuff connected on my territory i have no reversing camera or anything so i dont know what it is
Hey Marcus. Sorry mate it's been quite some time since I played with this stuff and I'm struggling to remember. Maybe message Matt, who sells the kits. He's great to deal with and will have far more experience and knowledge on the details.
how did you go marcus ? I'm thinking of ordering one but can see something else plugged into the blue pin & im insure what is is
Try to install but something is already plugged in there unsure what’s plugged in and the radio doesn’t have aux pressed am button twice but nothing
@john beazley Maybe there’s an AUX cable stashed somewhere already, no other aftermarket accessories hooked up? Could always try unplugging it, put the new unit in and see if everything still works?
Whats the name of the xr6 that comes with electric windows not the handles at the back and has windows lock and sun roof I think it's either ba or bf or idk I'm kinda thinking of getting one but I want the one with all the stuff I just said what's it called help woild be appreciated thank you
Could be wrong but I don’t know of a specific version of the XR6 that came with all of the above. I believe they are each just options mate so you’ll have to suss each car out or perhaps certain search engines will allow you to specify those as criteria.
Good luck mate
@@BrowneysGarage thank you bro much appreciated thank you for ur time ❤️❤️
I am wondering if the sound quality is good? I have heard that these installs cause a 20% decrease in sound? Perhaps this is just an urban myth
Other units may, this one is amplified so this isn't the case. Audio level should be the same or incredibly close.
I own a 2007 Ford Territory... will it work on my car?
@Janice Honour Hi Janice, yes should work and be the same process.
@@BrowneysGarage Thank you
Mate does this work on a Ford Fairmont 2004 model? I’m so confused and scared to buy it
Gonna buy one in the next couple of weeks for mine, which is 2002. Will let you know how it goes. Also maybe message Matt's Audio on facebook.
Hey mate got one and works perfectly on my 2002 model Fairmont.
Where abouts can I get one of these?.... need one for my bf xr6
Hi Matty, they are available to order by messaging Matt at Matt’s Audio (facebook.com/fordaudio/) on Facebook.
Thanks for watching 👍
Why are the blue and white plugs there from factory?
@abbreviation of time From memory there was a factory option for iPod or maybe even Aux cable input that used these.
@@BrowneysGarage interesting. Almost seems to good to be true. everything straight forward I attempt to do on cars turns into a disaster. I look forward to something easy
@abbreviation of time Trust me I know the feeling, things rarely go exactly to plan on cars! Fortunately this one went really well.
Hey browny, mate the key code procedure did not work on my 2005 BF territory, ie: turn the key only to the first position and then depress the rear window demist button 3 times and press any of the buttons on the key fob, but nothing happened other than the pushing the rear demist button 3 times did lock the car ,but could not unlock the car doors or any functions on the key fob, checked the key fob battery with new one ,but still did not work and when i pulled the key out of the ignition the doors unlocked, but not via any button on the key fob, can you help me please, thinking it might be a faulty key fob?
Hi mate. I haven't personally done this, at least not yet, but all sounds like you're doing it correct to me except I was under the impression the locks would cycle and not just lock to show you are in programming mode. From what you've described it does sound like it may be a remote issue, a few ideas though:
The buttons on the older style remote can be quite difficult to push at times, maybe try with the cover and rubber buttons off to ensure the remote button is being directly pushed.
Is this for a second remote? Are you able to test a second remote to confirm that it is only the new one not working?
Check your timing, are you pushing the demist button 3 times quickly straight after putting the key into the accessories position?
Hey there. Not sure if you had success or not. But I just did this on my beast. I followed the instructions in the car manual and it didn't work for me either. So I hit youtube and discovered that the book left out on little detail. The vid I saw recommended - close the door and put the key in the acc position within 10 secs of closing the door then very quickly do the three pushes on the rear demister button and then the locks will go into the locked position. It did not do the whole locking/unlocking cycle for me. The push one of the buttons on your remote followed by any other remotes you want to program. Then turn the key to the off position and test the remotes. Once I found out the info about the 10 sec timing I was able to program both the remotes without a hitch. I hope this helps if you have not already succeeded. Here is a link to the vid th-cam.com/video/AWtXREl0X-k/w-d-xo.html
these arent available anymore...wish i could get one
Still available as far as I’m aware? Message Matt’s Facebook page facebook.com/fordaudio?mibextid=LQQJ4d
What if I can't get the wire frew?
Needing assistance with a volume button jammed, any idea how I can DIY?
Sorry no idea/experience on that one. Try on one of the Facebook groups for these cars maybe?
My blue 4 pin is being used by something, I got a 2011 Ford Territory second hand so I don't know what's using it
Same with me -- 2010 bf falcon. Did you find out what it was?
I press the am button twice and it did not go to auxiliary
Can also try but cycling through radio options with the mode paddle, left hand side of the steering wheel if you have it. If still no luck with that double check the Bluetooth controller is getting power (lights coming on) and the connectors are plugged into the correct location behind the fuse box? Car won't allow AUX mode without a signal to the car to say something is connected here.
@@BrowneysGarage hi my Bluetooth is definitely powered on that is for sure but I'm not sure if the other cable which I think is the audio cable is properly connected
@@BrowneysGarage I definitely connected everything properly now but it is still not working even though I have power to my Bluetooth
Messaged the seller of the kit to see if they have any suggestions?
@@BrowneysGarage he said just go on TH-cam
Hi does this device work using your iPhone hands fee call ?
@Malia Smith Hi Mali’s, yes it can do this 👍
I think I have that in my car ? Hanging down from under the left side of the steering wheele ? Blinks blue ? If I take a photo can I send it to you tomorrow ? I have a rx6 2007 and I hate no Bluetooth 😪
Shouldn’t be hanging down, sounds like it’s fallen off, but otherwise sounds like this or a similar kit.
Easy to find out, turn the car on and search for Bluetooth devices on your phone?
Browney's Garage oh ok 👌 sounds easy but at my age could be hard 😂 I’ll get my grandson to look tomorrow thanks for that ,, I did ring up today about putting in a device quoted me $509 😳😳 but I thought if I get blue tooth and can use my phone I’d pay it ??
I have a bf Typhoon and the blue plug is been used. What can i do to install this, cheers.
@Darryl Marriner Hi Darryl, sorry I wasn't aware of this at the time of making the video. Seems to be the case with F6/GT's to power gauges.
Believe Matt (who made these kits) has an option to adapt this blue plug for 2 outlets for around $10.
@@BrowneysGarage all good Matt is making up a splitter for me, cheers.
I'm actually surprised they didn't have auxiliary Bluetooth from factory
If only! It was probably over 2 decades now that the design was finalized though 🤷
@@BrowneysGarage yeah thats true
Do you get any alternator whine with it??
@Craig Broderick Seems like the factory wiring is poorly shielded, especially relating to any AUX input, and different cars have different results. I only ever have a slight noise when headlights are on and playing podcasts not music (must be lower audio file output level or something), otherwise no dramas.
@@BrowneysGarage cool thanks... Ive never found one that doesn't whine.. it shits me
@Craig Broderick This one seems better than some of the cheaper ones as it's amplified/boosted but unfortunately it seems the setup already in the car is the limiting factor on this.
Does it suit a 2004 XR 8 ute please
You stuck double sided tape to double sided tape.
It's a new 4 sided tape product... ok I did, it was my first video and I didn't see tape already on there!
But also, why would you point that out! 🤣
Im just glad someone else noticed too! 🤣@@BrowneysGarage
How do I this for my GHIA territory??
You got me, Sub man 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Legend, thanks for your support mate. Plenty more to come on this car and others.
Where do I order one.
Best way is to message Matt over at his Facebook page and he'll look after it for you, at this stage he only takes orders directly there - facebook.com/fordaudio/
Thanks mate
@@BrowneysGarage Ok thank's I will.
Buyer beware:
I tried installing a kit just like the one above from eBay and the audio plug didn't fit. It had some extra plastic in the wrong places jamming up the grooves that the plug slides into. PITA!
Does this work in the 2005 ba?
Sure does mate.
Does this work for fg
@Bounty max You’re in luck, we also covered a Bluetooth kit that works on the FG - th-cam.com/video/VFHIXreeNBo/w-d-xo.html
Just plugged mine in can't get am radio to switch into aux mode fml
If you have steering wheel controls have you tried pushing mode on the back left control to cycle through modes?
If not luck sounds like it may not be getting power, double check that one is connected and to the right plug. If no luck try messaging Matt to see if he has any ideas for you 👍
So where’s the link?
facebook.com/fordaudio/
Can I still connect a sub if this is installed?
@Journey Porter I’ve still got my factory sub setup with this so shouldn’t effect it at all.
Browney's Garage kkthank u for that ✊🏾
Hi Browney, thanks for the video. Do you have a contact number for Matt's Audio. I don't have Facebook but I would like to message or email him. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, of course it’s for a BA
I am an idiot 🙄
🤣 All good, hope you enjoy yours!
Do you know if this install will be the same for a ford territory 2010
Testing my limited Territory knowledge here but being 2010 it should be the last of the SY's, with similar interior to BA/BF? If so the install should all go exactly the same I believe, did one on my dads SX Territory and there was no real difference to the Falcons 👍.
