HOW MUCH?????

It's 2yrs old mate, surely you want an up to date model????

Using that basically as the shopping list as its everything I want on that. I kno having the built in sat nav is gonna bump it up compared to the normal cd players, would prefer to just have it built in than a standalone one

will be very slow on start up and slow going through songs stick to a pioneer very quick head units and there built for sound

The older units with sat nav take a while to boot up think even the pioneer was over 30seconds when I went to look at one, so defo see one working before you buy

fair enuff, ill have a play in store then before going online

I have this one,

i love it, not used to Maps as i have my own SatNav but looks good when it's loaded up!

I've been looking at getting that eonon for a long time. Does the stalk controls still work?

That does look good any other 'ford' units available?

There are a few about - not sure on how long they last though, not sure if they've got any valid warranty in the UK as they're built in China to a premium.

Got some examples Nick? Purpose built for ford is appealing

I had the 2008 stereo in my fist st and now have the standard 1, found this sony 1 brilliant. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Focus-Son...=item53f20b7626

Same looking but different button layouts - I don't know what they are behind the covers though?

They're the spec I'm after, what sort of reception do you think the sat nav will be like using a card rather than antenna?

I think you need both Liam - the card has the maps, and the antenna picks up the reception

I'm quite interested as to what could be done with the hardware behind it - it looks like it could be running Windows CE so might be able to be quite hackable and customisable.

Half tempted to buy one to modify the software running on it...

didnt notice an antenna on the listing will have a look for some reviews later
