Mondeo Stereo: What are our Options and Experiences replacing headunits

[warren77]

Hi Guys

There has been a number of threads talking about the Mondeo Stereo.
A few people (including myself) have pointed out after market stereos that are meant to fit directly into the Mondeo.

I have gone through the past 10 pages of threads and whilst there is lots of general stereo related information, it is somewhat lacking if your aim is to replace the standard head unit. No one has really posted actual experiences with replacing it.

Hoping that this will prompt anyone who has done any work on the audio system on the Mondeo to talk up.

For what it is worth, here is a quick summary of the threads I found (not saying I found them all).

My desire is to replace the existing head unit with a built in unit which does GPS but does not loose the stearing wheel controls or the factory bluetooth.
Nice to have is camera, dvd, tv.

Looking forward to someone helping out!
