My dad passed his 2008 Ford Fusion down to my son as his first car, and he wants to connect his phone and listen to music. Does the vehicle have Bluetooth capability, or will we need to buy an adapter?
—with each trim level having different features and capabilities. If you are looking for Bluetooth capability, your Fusion will need to have the Ford SYNC system, an optional feature at the time of purchase.
But even if your Fusion doesn’t have Bluetooth, every trim came with a range of features, including:
Base S trim:
Air-conditioning
A CD/MP3 player with an auxiliary input jack
Cruise control
Full power accessories
Keyless entry
SE trim (all of the S features plus):
A six-way power driver seat
A six-speaker stereo with CD changer
Audio controls on the steering wheel
A faux carbon-fiber trim
SEL trim (all of the SE features plus):
A keyless-entry keypad
Automatic headlights
Automatic climate control
Heated outside mirrors
An auto-dimming rearview mirror
The Ford SYNC system came as a late availability option on the Fusion, so not all models have it. If your Fusion doesn’t have Bluetooth and you want to use that feature, you can buy an external adaptor.
