2008 Expy- "PHONE" button.
My dad just bought an '08 expy limited. Let me just say it is one sweet ride. It has just about every option, including the deployable running boards, except rear backup camera. In the Nav unit there is a button that says PHONE. When you press it, it does nothing. I was wondering if anyone knows about this. I thought maybe it had sync installed but it is not on the options list. Do you think it is setup for sync? maybe he could add it?
thanks

According to everything I have been able to find, that button is only active if you have Mobile-Ease or another bluetooth hands free kit installed that has a wire that connects into the system for mute functionality. On my 08 it does nada right now. The dealer actually had to send an email to a ford engineer to get the information for me as it made no sense why there was a button that didn't do anything.

You are correct, my 08 has Mobile-Ease installed and when in use the phone mutes the radio, it’s all automatic, meaning pushing the radio button does nothing, but gets used automatically by the Mobile-Ease when in use<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Mystery Button
So essentially, even with mobile-ease the button does nothing? Will we ever discover a function for this mystery button?
I wonder if the Sync will be able to retrofit into the 08 Expys? I've seen speculation, but no definite word even on availability in the 09s. A retrofit kit wouldn't seem to be too far fetched as the nav unit in the Sync pictures I've seen is the same as the one in my 08 at face value. We already have the microphone wired in, as well. The only thing missing is the USB jack.
