Sony I believe gives better sound quality and looks better

Looks better is a matter of opinion. For me, the buttons are too small and finicky to operate. I also don't like the big multibutton, I just feel like I'd press the wrong one all the time.

Apparently it does have better sound quality, but I also believe Fiestas with sony head units also have different Speakers. The screen is also different on the sony (a quick google will show you). If you already have a fiesta then it is pointless changing unless you want DAB or satnav.

Many thanks.what is different about the screens?

However not sure if the top one is for sat nav only models. But every sony unit I have seen from factory has a screen like that (on the facelift).

Cheers.

Anyone know if the sony unit will plug and play with the standard blue on black display?

As above, can I use the blue display with the sony head unit /face (non sat nav)?
