BlueTooth for 08 SDs
So I see I have the phone button that does nothing on my head unit. But, I was looking at Fords accessory catalog and they offer a bluetooth integration for $411. My question is has anyone done this? Did the dealer install? Is it fully integrated into the truck's stereo?
if it matters I have an 08 f350 lariat CC, audiophile stereo NO nav.

Do you still have control of the stereo with the steering wheel controls? And the bluetooth runs through the stereo, correct?
Also, I see your unit has 4x50watt output, is that the same as the stock unit? How's the sound? Thank you.

I did like senix and went aftermarket. I got the Kenwood DNX 8120. Similar to senix's too. I also have my back up camera through it since the job #1 trucks had no option for back up cameras. Works great!

My manual simply says "when pressed display will show: 'no phone'". I would be embarrassed to tell you how long I scoured the manual for an explanation, especially cause I thought the bluetooth was integrated already with that f'in button in my face.

I have the backup camera in my mirror. Does that mean I don't have a job#1 truck?

After some research I think an aftermarket head unit is the best value. The Ford Mobile Ease, as I understand it, isn't fully integrated. Meaning there is a control that you have to mount/tape somewhere in the cab.
I may just run my phone over with the truck and save a ton of money.

Yes, there is a control that is mounted on the dash. When the phone rings just press the talk button and have at it. Not sure about the aftermarket units, but they may have a control button also.
