Looks like it came from factory, absolutely clean

@DriveWithAndy 3 года назад

Yeh that was a big reason for getting this. It's obviously not the best quality with this sort of price tag but functions fine, does all you need and looks very OEM

@falconknowledgey 3 года назад

I have to say I've always said if I were going to modify a car and update the inside ide want it to be subtle but really nice, the way you've done everything so far in my opinion is class and very well thought about, none of it is over the top, I think if ford were to do another anniversary edition they should come to you for inspiration.

@DriveWithAndy 3 года назад

Thanks for the nice comment, really appreciate it 😁 How cool would that be of one day Ford decide to celebrate the Fiesta ST brand by bring back a special Mk6 Fiesta ST200 or something where it comes with 200bhp, only 200 made, in a modern couple of colour choices, but same interior as 2006 but with some modern touches.

good comment Tony and thanks. Intersting youve mentioned that the sound as i feel its louder. No beter in sound quality. Although i think this new head unit can deal a bit more wattage than the standard unit did so i want to get slightly better speakers at some point as the standard speakers are rubbish, no base at all

Hi Andy, I went ahead and ordered this despite being a bit more expensive than I thought, quick delivery though, it has just arrived. Will probably fit it over the weekend, just wanted to ask you something. I am looking at the small connector that came with the unit, AUX cable I am ignoring, I can see where the black connection guess in the rear of the radio and also where the white small connection goes but where does the medium size white connector go in the rear of the radio, it does not seem to fit. Hoping you can remember 😂 Martin

Got it installed and fitted easily, looks good. Only issue is that the aerial adaptor for some reason does not fit the cars aerial, so will need to buy another one of those, not sure if the Ford aerial fitments are any bigger, but other than that, really good.
