You could always just replace the HU with a BT capable one, that's what most people do rather than adding on a Parrot.
Who owns a Mondeo ST220 / ST TDCI?

Yes, replace the whole HU with a non-**** one.

Howard - in your youtube vid for the folding mirrors, you have a key that is different to mine and I would like one..... Can you englightmen please?
It's a Jaguar flip key. Buy it on eBay, go to Timpsons and get it cut, then program it yourself

Is it this easy?

OR:
PATS System II:
This system hasn't got a red key, instead it needs already programmed keys to access programming mode.
Insert the first already programmed key into the ignition and turn to position II
Turn back to 0 and remove the key
Insert the second already programmed key into the ignition and turn to position II
Turn back to 0 and remove the key
Key programming mode is now activated and you have ten seconds to:
Insert the unprogrammed new key into the ignition and turn to position II
Turn back to 0 and remove the key
Allow 10 seconds to pass for the system to exit programming mode.

Yup. There's a second procedure for programming the remote locking, though.

Good point, I forgot about the foam supports. Would it be better to go via his insurance (NFU) directly or my insurer's (Admiral) suggestion of using Albany Assistance (some not so good reviews on this forum) or another way?
My car's driveable but I'll need something to cover me for when it's in the workshop.

Don't use Albany if you want anything to happen quickly. You almost end up doing everything yourself anyway.
If liability isn't in dispute I'd go via the third party insurer, and the NFU are usually very good to deal with.

Thanks for the reply. What you said about Albany seems to be the gist of what others have written about them on here.
I guess I'll try his insurer first and just hope the other driver doesn't start making stuff up or inventing fake witnessnes.

Anyone had much luck with cleaning the round chrome bezels around the fog lights? Mine are a bit tarnished. Not sure if it would be easier to just get new ones (perhaps these?) or try and clean the ones I have with some wire wool. Do the round bezels just pop/screw off?

Do you have a link? I'm going to order a key on ebay tonight, thanks
Good God no. At least not on my C-Max. My girlfriend told me to stop because I spent 20 minutes trying to get it to work and shouting at the car. I haven't had remote locking in months.

Love ST estates but can't get over how small the rear wiper is on that one
Such as?
Hope your not referring to the Turbo tractor deeezel cars that everyone seems to think are rocket ships.
If that St220 is modded it could be up to near 260bhp

Audi S3 etc, it's hard to get extra power out of those but they do make more than quoted stock power most of the time. It's still a stupid sticker.
Soldato
Does the sticker say 'I am faster than your 2ltr?
To me it just sounds like he is saying a 2ltr is a baby engine. Still a silly sticker though, especially if a AMG, VXR8 etc parked next to him
