Question - What does that button do?

[ezratty]

On the marauder there is a button located on the radio with a phone receiver/mute label. i know that it will mute the radio when it is turned on but when the radio is off and i hit that same button it says "no phone" anyone have any idea what this is for, is there a feature that i am unaware of? i need to know

[juno]

Did you have a phone with you? :)

[ezratty]

Don't tell me I got Bluetooth in my car and didn't know it.

I think it is one of those Odds & Ends that was never completed in our Marauders. Owners Manual anyone??

[MM03MOK]

Did anyone find a model number on the unit when they pulled it out? Is this another Ford gem that was made exclusively to their spec, like the Autometer gauges? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

It seems to be a standard button on the Ford radios. If you purchase the hands free talk kit from ford parts then the button will have a function otherwise it useless besides being a mute button.

edit: The Marauder does not have the function of Hands free talk kit. I checked the manual and called my buddy at a ford dealership and its just a Mute button on our radio and most of the 2005 and up vehicles allow the use of Ford's Mobile-ease Hands Free System (http://www.fordaccessoriesstore.com/fas/consumer/fas_CONSUMERBrowseCategories.a sp?oid=1905&sOldOid=1901&refer=link). If I need to use my phone, I just put the speaker on and do voice dialing :)

[ezratty]

how does the hands free talk kit actually do?

Don't tell me I got Bluetooth in my car and didn't know it.I had a snaggletooth in my car once, but that story is not for this website....

[TripleTransAm]

I believe it's a Town Car exclusive... I think you could order an integrated cell phone, and by hitting this button it would mute the stereo and activate the phone. No idea on the details, nor can I remember where I read or saw this...

Edit: interesting that they added bluetooth functionality to this add-on...

That's what I was thinking. I just leave my phone on my belt and put on my bluetooth headset while driving. Much easier just to tap myself upside the head to answer a call than try to get my cellphone off my belt out from under the seat belt buckle.
