"PHONE" button on radio??
I have an 08 f-250 which has the upgraded audiophile radio with xm radio and 6 disc cd. There is a "phone" button on it with a little telephone pic on it. When you push this it says no phone? Reading through the owners manual thats all it say as well. Anybody know what this does?? bluetooth perhaps?? thanks

Yes it is for the bluetooth for a cell phone. I just got a pre paid cell that works with the sync and I must admit it is a nice feature. My wife works from home and I am disabled so we do not have cell phones. We just bought a Trac phone from Walmart that has bluetooth.
If you have a cell and use the bluetooth you can go to syncmyride.com and it has a phonebook feature that allows you to download a phone list then upload it to Sync which is better then downloading it off of the phone. Hope this makes sense. Hope it helps good luck to you.

I know that Ford has something that hey can install so that you can use bluetooth and have it via the speakers. I am sorry I do not remeber what it is called and I do not know the cost. I have seen it on here somewhere and maybe someone will chime in on it. Do you have the jack that you can plug the phone into via a cable? Not sure if that would work just throwing out an idea.

my 08 job 1 has 6 disk, no nav, no sync and the phone button only mutes radio so you can talk on phone without adjusting volume button. i have been looking into the mobile ease........

Mine is an 08 job 3 build. Im almost positive I dont have sync. It doesnt have it labeled anywhere that I have it nor do I think it was available on the 08's. Then again im not sure why anybody would put that button there and have no purpose for it. I tried turning on my bluetooth for my cell phone and then hitting the phone button. My phone just says searching and never identifies or sync with the vehicle. Oh well

I called Ford to find out why my dash display said something about TBC Gain = 0 when I had a trailer hooked up. they said my 08 didnt have the newer TBC unit but in 09 all the trucks would so in preparation my truck had the software installed even though I didnt have the actual TBC. They told me sometimes a late model 08 (for example) might get a 09 feature only because they miscalculated inventory model closeout too. i.e. they thought they only needed 1,000 radios for 08. They started buying 09 radios and then realized they were making 1,200 late model 08 trucks. Its cheaper to use the 09 radio than to order another 08.
Not saying this happened, but these are examples that Ford Customer Service gave me.
