As topic I'm looking at replacing the bog standard one, I have been looking at Xtrons but reviews are mixed, so wonder what people have and what experiences, recommendations.

Some I have been looking at.

Xtrons HDMI

Cheaper Xtrons but would need facia adapter

Main bad reviews have been due to reliability and long boot up times, but these are mainly for the older models, can't find any reviews on the newer ones.

Open to alternatives

Thanks!!

    There are a few people on here that have posted positive reviews for the Xtrons units, the key seems to be buying directly through Xtrons to ensure to get a real one and not some ebay special "clone".

    Go for either of the Android 8.0 ones on their website

    http://xtrons.co.uk/ford/ford-focus-ii-android-car-stereo/filter/android_icon/android8-0.html

    There's two for the MK2, two for MK2.5 - one black, one silver.

    I've been toying with the idea of getting one of these as well

    Pretty expensive for that one but cheaper on Amazon

    Android 8

    I have been considering these cheaper xtrons..

    Android 7.1

    And also this slightly better spec 

    Android 7.1 HDMI

    I would also want DAB which is a extra £56

    DAB+

    The OBD2 is cheap about £9 but reviews are very mixed

    OBD2

    For me the disappointment is that DAB is not included 

    They also do a reversing camera

    Camera  Again very mixed reviews

    How to fit aftermarket stereo

    The problem with buying an Xtrons one from anywhere but themselves can apparently lead to issues should you need to claim on the warranty

    Don't see that as being a issue with Amazon they have a no quibble return warranty

    That's true, still worth bearing in mind. Cheaper is not always better, though
