The GEM is irrelevent nothing has to plug into it. The ids updates the stored values for what is wired in the car.

 

I can only talk about what i got which was for a car pre 2010.

 

The main loom had the big connector for the loom and a plug which went up to the control panel. My unit had two sockets on the back one of which was replaced, i left the replaced one disconnected. I think there were two other connectors on the loom, one going to the a piller into which the wiring to the mic connects, i cant remember if there was another and where it went. I think there were two separate cables which went from the bluetooth module to the centre console usb socket

I got someone to do this for me. I think its just a metter of ticking the right options you require in the ids

It doesnt matter if the two are sold as one unit. The control panel bolts to the cd unit. I used my original cd unit as they are identical across models, just bolted the new control panel on.

There is a thread where someone has put the mondeo one in with the sunglasses holder. I didnt i used the fiesta part

 

I dont know about the mic being the same. I know the focus one fits because i bought mine originally for my focus before i p/x it for the fiesta and i removed the bits

Hi you can get the mic from Ford it fits into an extended roof panel I believe finis 1681894 along with a steel bracket which clamps the panel finis 1535265. The display I had was finis 1698077 this was the red display I have seen them on ebay.The control panel replaces the old one although you need the trim panel as yours wont have the holes for the extra buttons. I don't think you need to swap the actual cd unit as I think they are the same across all models. I hope the finis codes are the right ones, they may have been superceded now, I did mine 2 years ago.
