ANYONE ELSE have THIS(pic) Option in there EX?

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

does anyone else have the "ford hand's free cellphone" that's build in to the center consol??..it seem's like mine is the only one?

 

[Robb]

My '96 had one many years ago.

Why is it still in your rig?

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

cause i use it...

 

[sunbum]

They have these things called booms now... no need to take up all that space. heh

 

[X~FACTOR]

Heh... I guess you're not the only one. But I bet they're pretty rare. With cell phones so cheap these days not too many opt for that, um, option.

My '95 didn't have it.

Also, I'm just curious but why is your Air Ride off?

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

i don't know..i have a cell phone..but i like this...

the air ride is off to hold air in the bag's to jack the truck up..

 

[daniel cauchon]

but when its off the air evacutes ? no ? I think mine does that....it lowers by itself

My 97 EB had one before I took it out. How is that air bag lift doing. I was following the other thread about it and want an update!

A friend of mine who lives in Anchorage, has a Limited with a phone in it like that one.

My '96 had that option. I ripped it out since there's seriously no use for that now. I personally think it was a waste of money for an option like that. I'd rather get Bluetooth but then again, There was no such thing back in 1995.

i really like the hand's free thing that comes threw the speaker's..my nokia 8260 is nice an all but i like this better..when i turn 16..im gonna dic-connect my cell phone and hook this up for good...

the air ride is working very well..i found the rear sensor so the rear is lifted more then it was in the pic's..no when you turn the system off the bag's close up and hold what air they have in them..

 

[Robb]

Isn't that thing analog? The advances in cell technology in the past 8 years far outweigh the advantages of the built-in hands free part IMO.

Are analog phones still big in AK?

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

no..we still use analog..but it's mostly digitel(?) now..i just like the set-up..i geuss im about the only one too...lol

The Phone

I have the phone in my Ford as well, unfortunetly it is useless except to call 911. No cell phone providers support it except verizon and they only do in an analog area, and we don't have those here anymore. It is great for driving, but Ford discontinued support for it as well, so it is impossible to get it hooked up, and the dealers are clueless as well.

hmm..every provider here support's it...but that's here

 

[EBInterceptor]

My old EB had a phone built into the sun-visor. Hands-free speaker phone....it was sweet but didn't keep it long.
