Default Mondeo USB and MP3 Input
Can anyone tell me if its possible to play an IPod Touch through the USB music port?

If not, will it still charge when plugged into USB?

Also, is the USB and MP3 input box in the glove box? Therefore, couldnt I have the IPod charging in the USB port while its playing through the MP3 input port at the same time?

The AUX jack is in the glovebox, in a sort of recess on the left. Haven't looked for the USB before, but I guess it would be in the same place?

I don't think there is a USB input in the current model Mondeo. This is a new inclusion in the new model. The auxiliary input is in the glovebox on the right hand side.

The Falcon's now get iPod integration, but the Mondeo's don't. It's strange that they don't. And also a pity for us Mondeo drivers. Any one know any different?

The biggest thing I found strange with the Mondeo, was whilst the stereo jack input is in the glovebox, there is no 12V in the glove box. Even though there is a cut out for it. Would've made sense to have it there.

Been meaning to get one put in.

Sorry I didn't know, as I dont own a Mondeo (yet). Most lighters I know are outside the flap on the main console.

In the XR5 (not sure on other models) there is also a plug in the read console. I actually use that one and run it along (via an extension cord) the passenger side seat/floor mat into the glove box where I have a 3 x 12V and USB splitter. I run a GPS, Radar Detector (still legal in WA) and my iphone charger.

That way, you don't need to flap open on the front dash.

Be warned however, one of the Mondeo's "features" is that the 12V stays live for 30 minutes after you switch off the car. So it means your GPS will stay active and may make it even more noticeable for a thief. Wishing I could find a way to turn that off.

UK Mondeo brochure shows an array of entertainment/navigation options including iPod connectivity that enables control of iPod from car's audio controls. They also have a fancy 7" touchscreen nav/sound option that includes connectivity. Pity that wasn't an option down here!!!

The TDCi has a 12V outlet on the rear of the middle console effectively for the passengers in the back.

Here's some photos of the HMI with UDB, from the Euro forum. We won't be getting the upgraded head unit I don't think.

Does anyone have a picture of the Ford iPod Cable? I am trying to get my iPhone to behave properly in my XR5 but it seems to have its own mind.
