I would like to run the audio output from my Whistler 1080 handheld scanner through two, Ford audio systems.
1. A 2010 Ford F-150 with Gen 1 Ford Sync, it has both a USB and 3.5 jacks under the radio.
2. A 2017 Ford Escape with the Ford Gen. 3 Sync. with two USB ports and not 3.5 jack under radio.
I have tried, in the 2017 Ford Escape, using a Aluratek Bluetooth transmitter and the Ford Sync. will not recognize the Aluratek Bluetooth trans.
I have not tried it in the 2010 F-150. I did call Aluratek support, and, they stated it would be doubtful if it would work, in the application I am trying to use [scanner to Ford Sync.]
Anybody have other suggestions for connecting my Whistler 1080 to my, two, Ford's, using other Bluetooth devices or just audio cables, like using two, 3.5 audio jack on one cable for the 2010 and a USB and 3.5 audio on the other end for the 2017?
Thanks so much for your suggestions.
BTW, Whistler says they will be marketing a hand held scanner with built-in Bluetooth, in the future!
