Hi all,
would anyone know, if there is any way to make my early s type radio ,Bluetooth so I can link my phone to it.
It has a phone button on it on the head unit.

Did this matter get resolved?

I have just bought a 2003 S-Type that doesn't have Bluetooth nor even a hard wire socket that I can use to connect my i-phone to the audio system for hands-free and just playing music, sat-nav etc. I'd was thinking of retro fitting the Bluetooth module (maybe getting one from a breaker), but do I also need the phone module to make this work?

Failing that, what other solutions are there?

I often thought about doing this to my 2002 STR (Touchscreen Sat Nav) however having read the many threads on other Forums over the years I came to the conclusion that I don't use the Car enough for it to be worth the trouble. Cars after 2005 had the Phone Module/Bluetooth Module/Antenna and Mic fitted, if fitted the Modules should be behind the Cage that holds the Sat Nav/CD Player/Amp fitted inside Boot N/S. The most up to date Bluetooth Phone Module seems to be 7W-10D893-AB, its rare and expensive but it is a combined Bluetooth and Phone Module as opposed to the older separate Modules, I believe it still needs a good antenna to work properly in a saloon boot (big empty metal box) It gets complicated as some say it needs to be connected through Voice. Lots of info out there so do a search first.
