Oooh, right, it doesn't replace the climate controls. This might actually not be all that expensive.

[Joey0801]

im really looking foward to this!!! but i dont want to lose the voice controls, add a crappy mic and lose the controls in the steering wheel. is there any way to do that??!

and sorry bout the questions im a noob in this :(

Thanks!

yeah i posted this over a week ago in this section and it got moved http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=290199. right now its selling on ebay for $150. No one else online or locally has them yet so I think I'll wait until its available locally.

I'm hoping the price goes below 150. I'd like to see it around 100. I'm already looking at close to 1000 on a navigation receiver, I don't want to spend all my money.

[Pretherius]

$150 for this is balls. Assuming it's because you need help to get it.

Metra's kit for the old Tauruses included all new climate controls and that was "only" $80. If this piece of molded plastic with 4 buttons hovers over $100 that's pretty ridiculous and I'm out on this one. Not throwing $120 into a piece of trim just so I can put a $60 CD player in my car and meanwhile lose functionality.

As I was advised in another thread prior to me searching, they make kits to keep your Sync and steering wheel controls functional.
