Hi All,


New Kuga owner signing it for the first time! Had my Kuga for a month now and really like it. The titainium was just out of my financial reach so opted for the Zetec and have a question.... can you change the ford stereo to the Sony one?



Searched online everywhere but cannot find any deails. Much prefer the look of the sony stereo.



Thank for any advice or help!

yes i would be interested to know if this can be done-


although In a Focus i owned a couple of years ago, i changed the headunit for a Sony one- and it doesnt make a huge amount of difference, as the speakers were still the bog std ford ones



i kno wthis as i traded in the focus for another focus with a factory fitted sony unit and the difference in sound quality was very obvious



for the full experience - i think you need to change the head unit and speakers.



ford used to do a part exchange and give you money off the new headunit if you gave in the old one - not sure if this is still the case

it should be possible, i swapped a basic ford unit in my focus st, for a sony single disc mp3 unit which i found on fleabay, if you find one be aware there are 2 different models, one which is removed with 4 keys same as the kuga and one held in with screws, which sit behind the facia.
