sony products are always quality




Indeed, Ford at least have the sense to include a Sony unit as standard in the ST now.

It's not a true Sony unit it's the uprated version of the Visteon standard unit, built by Visteon with a licensed Sony badge fitted.

I think Craig was refering to the upper blanker that looks warped.

Have to agree I'm afraid

someone agrees with me...yay lol

just doesnt look right, even though it might not be as good the original stereo in my opinion looks better than an aftermarket stereo, the stereo in my rx-8 is built in and you can really change it, its one unit including all the air-con + climate control etc

I agree too with the facia adapter thing.

Mine is the same and looks cheap and poorly fitted (it's the autoleads one). When i get round to it i will be buying one from Ford. Having seen one in an ST it looks sooooo much better and you dont get that 'warped' look where it seems to bend in the middle!

they do sound better but what sounds better is the volume on mute and the roar of a 4" exhaust at '70'mph or 5000rpm+ lol

Agreed again Craig


I hate loud stereos BTW, they're Yobbish.

If you like loud music put your headphones on.

second that, about 3 years ago in my 1.3 fiesta flight i did have an amp and two subs in my boot altogether producing over 2000watts lol, that was very loud, did sound good tho lmao, vibrated EVERYTHING in the car, had a dvd player with it, loved that car, spent hours looking after it and £1000's on it, totally not worth it lmao

Not sure where this thread is going, I only posted the pic cos the guy asked to see what it would look like, regardless of whether it looks 'warped' or whatever. However, its a forum and your entitled to your opinion, i respect that!

As regards wearing earphones for loudness, that wasnt why i fitted it, the spec (Bluetooth, Mp3, EQ, display, etc etc) far outway these minor negatives and its a major improvement over the standrd 6006 model.
