Well finally plucked up the courage to install an after market screen in my 2012 focus... And what a great decision that was!

Instead of the pokey little 4.inch screen i now have a stunning 8" touchscreen with Nav, Dvd, IPod with album art, reverse camera, Bluetooth music streaming and better still it fully integrates with SYNC system and i even get to keep the parking sensors on the camera screen.

Completely stunned it all works! lol.

Going to post some pictures to get your thoughts guys??

It a SD card to update the maps and the system filmware.

I ordered that one as well...

It doesnt support Ford SYNC or the reverse sensors if fitted.
It also looks very cheap graphically wise, No ipod album art, Steering controls were also hit and miss.

But then again the FLY Auidio unit was twice as much. Well worth it IMO though. It just looks so much more proffesional graphically and everything works.

after reading this i did a search on amazon and found at least 3 variations of the Movewell one.

I swung by a local car radio shop today and showed them those head units i linked from amazon. They said that since my car was not equipped with factory nav/MFT etc etc that those would not work with my car. Now i know this might have been a ploy to get me to purchase the template and radio separately from them at a higher cost. But does anyone know if these would work if since i did not get the MFT option?

I don't know the specifics of the units that you quoted, but I am 99% sure that the guys who told you that it wouldnt work with your car are either lying or unknowledgeable. The units are made to work with focuses, not just focuses of a certain trim level. Also, since they are part of a molded dash replacement trim, they will fit whichever trim level you have.

Obviously I'm biased towards doing things aftermarket, but I think you would be fine ordering these from amazon. Feel free to ask me any questions that you have and I'd love to help you out. You can check my post history for my setup.
