Yes it does, there is a loom from Ford available that plugs into the back of your headunit and then connects to the mobile kit.

Its not there from factory, you have to get the loom to do it. From memory its about $30 or so.

Doesn't the loom plug in to a socket behind the fuse panel, or is that the BAs? You don't have to kill the power to the headunit, you just need to connect up the mute wire to the loom and the audio output to the loom and then the sound will come through your front speakers and the letters 'TEL' should display on your headunit.

There are 2 connector blocks on the back of the stereo unit...Only one of them is normally used...to hook up the phone kit the easy way you can attach the radio mute wire (Yellow in the nokia kits) to one of the terminals on the second connector block...the correct terminal is the one that mutes the radio when the wire is connected to ground. This method is still only using the nokia speaker that comes with the phone kit, and not the audio speakers attached to the stereo. To use them, i believe you need the other wiring loom talked about in the other post, I have not tried it this way yet...getting a loom on monday hopefully and then i can run phone through front speakers.

You can find a connector up under the dash between the centre console and steering wheel that will give you the other 3 connections that you need,,,ie: +ve, -ve, and ground....this connector is probably blue.

Hope this helps,

let me know if you need more info as i am doing the same thing

I had a car kit in my AU2, mute wire was plugged into one of the pins in the unused connector.

Sorry can't remember which pin it was but it is compatible.

thanx for the info guys, really helps. mine is a nokia kit too stats2001, so ur info was very valuable. since the kit i have is my mums old one there was no wiring info on the kit, so it would have been a great guessing game without actually hunting down the kit in nokia website (which i wouldnt have done as im a lasy bas**d!). i think i will go with using car speakers, avoids having to put the ugly speaker in and having to put holes in the car that arent really needed (to mount the speaker). now just have to try and find a phone holder to suit the 6310i that will fit the console to avoid drilling those holes.

You should PM 'useless' and ask him if he's got any of the mobile phone presenters still available. They are installed underneath the centre console lid and allow you to fold the phone in and out of the console, very tidy and you can hide the kit when you don't need it.
