Dude you saved me from buying a new radio for my fusion 2008, Thanks👍❤️

[@brandonsheaffer3733]

Gotta love the for sync system.....

[@planedudea380]

Not all have them, if there is an USB input and there is a Microsoft Sync badge around the shifter yes you do have SYNC

[@RhinoXpress]

The Sync II system will be much improved in some areas over the Sync I system, but the Fusion isn't going to get the Sync II system until the Fusions redesign in 2010.

[@otterhead45]

fusion is an awesome car

[@hallangell12]

Thanks,this helped on my rental car from Hertz. I rented a Lincoln MKZ AWD from Vancouver Airport. The Hertz Staff just told me to say the song and plug it in. Then they told me to watch this video since they do not know. GOOD JOB. Teach me how to use Siruis Radio.

[@mseguine89]

can someone please tell me how to make my aux work .... in my 2008 ford fusion, I plugged in my aux cord and pushed the aux button to turn on but all it says is "no aux audio"

[@mseguine89]

I also realize when I watched the video it shows that there was a button on the steering wheel that says media but my car does not have that button... but I dont understand I should be able to just plug in my aux cord and push aux button and it work but its not so someone please help me figure this out

[@inkyymontanna9560]

Say usb

[@gabyveleta]

thank you! this video was so helpfull, you save my life 😅

[@utmhernando5368]

2 questions please. #1 Do you have to use an iPod/android with the USB port? Or can I just plug a San disk flash drive into the USB port to play songs? Also do you have to play .mp3 files only or can i play .wmv ?

[@mishahinton1895]

Thank you so much

[@RhinoXpress]

You try updating your frimware on your device?

[@FORDmustangs100]

Look at the post from 5 years ago saying for isn't going to make it through the crisis. Well they did when others didn't.

[@Dboy64]

I have it and it's not too bad. There's a few artists it just refuses to work with. I personally just usually use the audio jack because I will have a friend that wants to mess with the music in the car. It's still useful nevertheless.

[@RGraw]

Actually, GM is leaps and bounds away from the nearest competition in terms of technology, including fuel efficiency and alternative fuel. Ford is also making some great progress. The new Fusion is a perfect example, 41 MPG, more than any other car in its class. As for Chrysler, I really can't say. I'm a little worried about them.

[@fulfillingtv2918]

thank you omg!.

[@bronzeplanet2]

That’s crazy bro

[@theeglacierfamily5349]

Yea that’s fine with you

[@blue387]

The president of Brazil is driven around in a Ford Fusion.

[@altobag97]

i have an itouch 2g (version 2.2.1) and it works great and it doesnt appear the ford logo

[@zastova]

am i buying an ipod or a car?

[@FranciscoLopez-ou9zq]

I have a focus 2007 but i do not know where is the usb

[@joshflores115]

How do I sync my 06 ford fusion se with my Samsung galaxy s 3 ?

[@TheBeaverguy21]

Is this standard in all 08 fusions? I have a 08 fusion se awd and it has a phone looking button on my dashboard but I don't have the OK call button on the steering wheel.

[@333pet]

Mine does not have it. It just has a second 12v port and an aux input.

[@SavageWhiteBread]

My aux setting disappeared I got satellite one two and three but aux is gone... Anyone have a clue?

[@JohnSmith-kf1ez]

I’m curious, but if I’m on KZbin while synced with my car radio, will the music video audio come through the speakers?

[@TheRaveRobber]

Yes

[@pk4490]

To get what I got on a fusion, it would have been $2,000-$3,000 more on a camry. It's got all the luxury you could want. Why should a company suffer when it's making good cars now for some mistakes they made in the past? Are you saying that ford's past cars didn't serve their purpose? I've seen more 300,000 plus mile fords than anything else

[@thegreat10110]

So does it work with iPhones

[@TheRaveRobber]

Yes

[@Dracks07]

dope shit

[@hallangell12]

The CAmry V6 is very powerful. You want power but a Lexus IS-F

[@yamajammer76]

I own a 2008 Fusion SEL AWD and I would put it up against a Toyota Camry in handling anyday. The Camry suspension is tuned like a Buick. The Fusion is based on the Mazda6 chassis. There is no Toyota in the world that will out handle a Mazda.

[@TheTwerkingWomanSugar]

What’s the button on dashboard just bought my car from the lot and I wanna push the button but don’t wanna mess anything up lol

[@1991bnp]

Mine is a button that opens a little compartment. Push it. lol

[@pac771]

My fusion is diferent, does not have usb port or te butron panel on the right of the wheel and it is a 2009 wtf?

[@prescott231233]

francisco villalobos you probably have an s or SE model that doesn't have this feature

[@scabberdoug]

I think they should make the whole car voice activated. "Turn left, turn left, TURN LEFT!!. STOP!!" Micro$oft blue screen of death. Sit in the middle of the intersection for 20 minutes while your car reboots.

[@MegaFLAMEWAR]

@hazy96 Well... Pontiac did go out of business a few months ago

[@blackrockshooter.]

Mine has the sync badge and manual and I followed this and it doesn't work ): (it is the right car model)

[@TheTwerkingWomanSugar]

Can you listen to music off your phone ?

[@TheRaveRobber]

That’s the point, yes

[@breakfromyou]

Welcome to the world of Apple.

[@Aoside]

DAN Microsoft*

[@hallangell12]

If you want it just rent a Lincoln MKZ from Hertz. Agree, his songs could be pirated. My ipod worked perfecteley on my RENTAL car from Hertz. (Lincoln MKZ AWD)

[@Approachable1]

@AddictedToStangs hahaha i was thinking the same thing

[@otterhead45]

maybe the lexus , but camry is lame , fast yes, but ..still a camry

[@mifan93]

that hing sucks!!!my friend has a 2009 focus and has this and the thing never understands

[@MercadoTVBrasil]

Here in Brazil this car costs about U$ 44.000 ... Some items are not included in this price. Brazil car sucks...

[@yamajammer76]

The Fusion has no power? It has plenty of power for a family sedan. 221HP in the V6 version is enough for me and most consumers. Please find me a 221HP electric scooter. Take some time to read what Consumer Reports has said about the Fusion and it's quality. You are just showing your hatred against an American product. You claim Ford stands for found on road dead, however I have driven thousands and thousands of trouble free miles in a Ford. Real experience matters more then an opinion.

[@juanblancas3511]

I got sync 3

[@otterhead45]

first on race day

[@sweetwater88]

Again: Toyota Supra- 1979-2002/sports car/coupe. Ford Fusion- 2006-in production/ECONOMY SEDAN/4 doors. NOT IN THE SAME CLASS AT ALL so why do you insist on comparing them?

[@boobsball]

"Play album, Abbey Road" *plays Nimrod*

[@toadz8113]

Playing Alvin Nimrod 🤣😂😭

[@otterhead45]

well ya cant experience that ya aint got but you'll be ok the fusion is great fast enough for me and it is a big car , a fun family car not a sports car

[@mifan93]

hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha

[@hecklers2002]

Shuffle Off, Shuffle On, SHUFFLE OFF, Shuffle ON. LOL American crap

[@otterhead45]

yeah toyota semed to lame up their cars in the last say ten years bunch of understeering squishboxes (owner of fusion sel v6 fwd)

[@palebeachbum]

Yet another expensive gadget that's supposed to make life easier, but instead makes it more complicated and confusing...if it even works properly to begin with.

[@koosoos123]

first!!

[@rig48]

lol a ford.

[@otterhead45]

supra and fusion - thats a stupid comparison . but you are a kid so... what do you know anyway
