I have been offered this or £70 and wondered what would be needed in order to make it work in my 2013 Zetec S that currently has the Standard ford Sync stereo?

    I imagine Sync is pretty integrated into the car, the head unit does not do much other than drive the speakers and provide the radio tuner, etc. - the physical parts if you will.

    The car talks across the CAN bus and different parts do different things to bring an all-in-one connected system. Gone are the days of everything being controlled by a central head unit - the screen does a lot of the controlling iirc.

    It might work, but even on a non Sync car, my old Fiesta didn't work with all the buttons on the Sony.

    It won't work with Sync so if you're looking to get rid of Sync I believe you will also need a Bluetooth/USB module and possibly wiring loom.

    Did you ever find out if this worked Steve?

    Anyone in Sussex / Hampshire / Surry got a Bluetooth / USB module I could try?
