Replacing Mk3 Head Unit

Hi All

I have a 2014 Ford Focus Titanium Navigator and am looking to replace the current sony unit in the car, the main reason being id quite like Apple Car Play.

http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/dab-radios-car-stereos/pioneer-sph-da120-car-stereo-with-apple-carplay#tab3 Looking at this one here

My question is, has anyone fitted / had fitted an aftermarket unit into a MK3? My slight concern is it may look a bit odd, once done what displays on the original screen? I'm guessing just the time? Would also like the steering wheel controls to work if possible.

Also currently the lock / hazard buttons are part of the sony unit, how does this work?

Am around the Guildford area if anyone can recommend any local dealers who can do this.

Thanks

Marc

    if your car is the MK3 then you will need a custom facia for the dash to be able to install double din units, something like this:
