what's the deal with the cd players in st's? ordered mine, collecting 1st sept, is it a ball ache to fit your own head unit? heard that its split into 3 sections? are the standard speakers easily replaceable?or are they fair decent?

The new CD player in the fiesta is a Sony headunit as opposed to the standard ford unit they used to fit. They also now have alpine speakers which are very good indeed. Unless you are a serious hard core audiophile the sony system will more than suffice

The stereo is older Fiesta was visually split into three sections, although behind the dash was only one unit, which meant that you needed to cut into the dash to remove the dividers if you wanted to replace it.

On more recent ones, it's just one unit, so if you really wanted to replace it then it is a lot easier to remove. However, you will be left with a gap either above or below your new stereo.

doe sthe sony cd unit have any pre-outs to run a sub and amp off?
cant really be arsed getting a new head unit if the sony one is decent, so will prob just end up selling my old cd player sub and amp set-up.

no the sony cd player dosent have pre outs but there is a way around it
im trying to fit my sub at the mo but cant seem to find a gap to the battery to inside the car

How do you wire up an amp and sub to the standard sony unit???

would be kinda interested myself in how to do that, although the standard cd player and speakers are VERY decent!

tryed to do this the other day it can be done but you would havet to put a cut off switch on the remote wire and there is alot of cutting to do to get the pre outs for your sub. ended up buying a new stereo

I have just this week had a sub/amp wired in to my standard 6006 headunit...i took it to RMD audio and they sorted it for me...They have attached some kind of box which you can run pre-outs on from the rear speakers i think...it is possible and does sound great!! i am sure you can get the little box thing that goes on the radio from halfords

how much did that cost
