jeebowhite Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hi Jon, As far as I know it should be a straight swap. You need to have the radio and surrounds, and you may need a single adapting harness, but other than that you should be plug and play?

137699 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 You need to fit either a glass-mount DAB antenna (whcih don't work very well) or you have a very big job to lower the roof lining and fit the genuine ford DAB antenna. Personally I wouldn't bother - the Sony DAB unit isn't actually very good. I had it for a while and found it to be no better than the standard CD6000 unit whcih it replaced. So I then upgraded to the Blaupunkt SatNav unit which is a much better bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
