It's honestly an anomaly that I find annoying but also humorous. As I mentioned I actually prefer that the car is devoid of pretty much all other modern tech and it's something I really like about the car.
The BT thing is something that can be 100% fixed with a $226 software mod.

The MKZ stereo is pretty damn good and it supports Bluetooth audio out of the box. It's at the for a takata airbag recall right now, but is otherwise a surprisingly good car.

My fiancee's Fusion is also equipped with superior tech to my Ultimate Depreciation Machine.
I don't have to commute for a few weeks, our office is closed due to a bed bug sighting, so I'll consider adding the BT module or whatever in a month or so.

The space in the back of a crew cab is ridiculous.
