Replacing the head unit

[Neogirl]

can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the basic head unit for the one with phone controls?

Must be possible. You will need the Bluetooth module also and it will need reprogramming by Ford

I see you have the unit I want, any info you can give me will be much appreciated

[Ben...]

Well I can tell you how to take it out

And the bluetooth module is located behind the glove box screwed down on to a shelf.. It's a nokia box, they may have updated the module by now though

yes please that will be really useful thanks

First remove the matt grey plastic screen surround
Pull this upwards starting at the end closest to the front of the car

Then remove the blanking plate
Wrap a screwdriver in a rag and prise this open from the top
It is on a one way catch and 2 hinges

Then undo the 2 hex bolts using a 7mm socket

Then undo the 2 torx screws using a T15 torx driver (maybe, can't remember the size)

Then pull the stereo towards the back of the car from the bottom of the stereo
It is held in by 2 stiff clips

does the blanking plate come off easily or will the oneway catch break? I'm scared now
