The radio/cd in our Transit is CD6000.Lately while playing either radio or cd it cuts out and the message "phone" shows on the screen.We do not have bluetooth connected in this van and over the 4 years we have had the van we haven't had this problem.It can happen in a good reception built up area, or in countryside.It is very frustrating having to manually turn it on and off again, which doesn't fix the problem anyway.Some days it can go normally,I would just like to know why or who to consult.We are out of warranty, but do I just contact any Ford dealer, or an auto electrician!Any advice/ help most gratefully acknowledged!

Auto electrician, they usually either have a terminal in the plug which when fed with an earth from the phone system mutes the sound and displays phone or the phone is internal of the radio (bluetooth) and its just playing up. Some one needs to check there is no old phone kit hidden behind dash that is playing up or a cruched wire behind the unit. Otherwise its likely the radio is just dying.

So even though the van was bought new in 2009 and is not bluetooth compatible, would a radio be dying after just 4 years!But I will get it checked as you suggest.
