Majority of Ford Models Soon to Offer Voice Control and Wireless Connectivity

Europe models, that is.

Ford announced Thursday that the majority of its European models will offer Bluetooth wireless connectivity and voice control of onboard systems by early 2006. The technology has been test marketed on selected models (Ford Mondeo, Ford Focus and Ford C-MAX) since May 2005. The new versions of the Ford Fiesta and Ford Fusion have also adopted this technology and they are the first models in their segment to offer this premium technology. Ford's Transit range will offer Bluetooth connectivity to commercial vehicle customers from early 2006.

Bluetooth wireless technology, coupled with voice control of onboard systems, provides a convenient and safe way to operate mobile phones, climate controls and entertainment equipment while driving. Ford also offers customers the ability to connect portable audio devices via a conventional 3.5 mm audio connector that is available with most Ford audio systems. This enables a wide range of entertainment systems, from portable Mp3 players to mobile phone based entertainment centers, to be connected through the car's factory-fitted audio system.

Wow. I take care of my Ford really nice, I make sure it’s always in shape, and I give it only the best replacement auto parts from Ford Parts Online. I sure would love to see this technology on the next Ford vehicle I buy.
