A mate had a XR5 focus with what looked like this exact same head unit but it couldn't play music over BT. Maybe your car got this inferior HU from the factory, or it's been changed by someone since??

Either way it sucks. BT music is probably the biggest reason to go for a ZETEC over an LX IMO. At least you get the better sound system I guess.

If you've got the 3.5mm AUX input jack and the USB port in the centre console then best bet might be to put an aftermarket BT receiver in there. Or, just a hardwired connection to your phone.
It's interesting, I tried a Bluetooth module from an older LX and on my phone you get two options: share directory and calls.
With the newer one there's also the option of sharing media, but it won't stay switched on when I switch it. So maybe there is some setting in the stereo that needs changing, or maybe it's something missing from the harness?
