I want to play a game...

[Riksta]

... and it is called "Where did my features go?"

Long story short, per my other thread, I had an accident where I rear ended someone bad enough that it blew driver, driver knee & passenger airbags. As part of the repair they needed to reset the computer... had an issue doing it so put in a whole new computer.

Now I've picked up the car today and noticed the following:

- Bluetooth seems to no longer exist. No longer is there a phone icon selectable on my dash screen, pairing my phone fails ("Ford Audio" is still stored in my phone since before the accident) and doing a fresh bluetooth device search fails. Hitting one of the phone buttons on the stereo simply brings up a message stating "Audio Muted". Part one of the game... where did my bluetooth go?

- The USB port, while still physically in the glovebox, doesn't seem to actually exist. Previously, selecting "CD/AUX" on the stereo would cycle between CD, AUX Line In, AUX USB, and AUX iPod (if connected). Now, it just goes between CD & AUX Line In. The USB port seems to put out no power or signal (connected iPod correctly and absolutely nothing, whacked in a flash drive and absolutely nothing... not even the light on the flash drive came on). Both iPod & the particular flash drive in question were working fine before the accident. Part two of the game... where did my USB functionality go?

- The voice control button, that annoying English woman, well, she's disappeared somewhere. Pressing the "Voice" button results in absolutely no response whatsoever - previously it used to mute the stereo and "beep" while waiting for voice input. Now pressing the "Voice" button has exactly the same effect as not pressing it. Part three of the game... where did the annoying cow go?

This is all I've noticed since I got the car back this morning, and drove it to & from work, so maybe there's more I haven't picked up on yet, but will be interesting to see what people think could be the issue. I have contacted the repairer who in turn has contacted the Ford dealer who did the computer swapout and is waiting for a response.

MY GUESS: I am basing my guess on pretty much logic and a small bit of knowledge of the different spec levels of Mondeo - but my guess is that basically they've programmed it to be an LX instead of a Zetec? Of course I could be completely wrong but I can't wait to get it back again, I've just had to burn a couple of MP3 CD's for the first time in forever since I don't have my iPod/USB functionality.

Also, the bonnet seems under certain light to be one massive hologram, I think I'll have to get them to re-detail that as it is pretty damn noticable and bad in certain conditions.
