How to Add Bluetooth to a New Ford Explorer

1. Enter your Explorer with your Bluetooth-capable cell phone. Turn on the engine and push the phone button on your steering wheel, which is marked with a small image of a phone.
2. Scroll through the choices that pushing the phone button provide until you reach the selection titled 'Pair Phone.' Click 'OK' and continue.
3. Locate the Bluetooth choice on your cell phone and turn on the Bluetooth device. Wait while your phone searches for other Bluetooth devices in the area. When your phone locates your Explorer's Bluetooth connection, it will ask if you want to connect your phone to the car. Choose yes.
4. Enter the numeric code that appears on your radio screen into your cell phone. Wait while your car and phone connect with each another. Once your phone is paired with your car, your contact list is downloaded into your car so that your caller ID function shows the names and numbers of your callers on your screen.
5. Choose whether or not to make this phone your primary phone in your car. Your Explorer can handle memory for up to seven phones, but it can only connect to one at a time. So say, for example, you and your wife are both in the car with your paired phones at the same time your Explorer needs to know which phone to connect to. The primary phone is the phone that is always connected to the car if it is inside the car.
6. Make a call to test your Explorer's Bluetooth.
