upgrading radio with another ford radio

Postby matt1987 » Tue Jul 14, 2015 7:13 pm

I have a connect sport with Bluetooth and aux and steering controls and 6cd square flat fronted radio and I'm wanting to upgrade it to another ford radio. I wish to keep the Bluetooth and aux and atleast one cd. See pics that I have attached of old and the new one I'd like to fit with minimal fuss if it is at all possible.

I'm wanting to upgrade it so it looks original but newer and have dab I know il need a dab aerial and associated bits but is it possible to keep all original features etc

Do I assume the Sony gen 2 dab units have an internal amp that will work with the normal aerial on the roof?
Also is there any one local to norwich that can program the bt/vc?
And what models have the Sony gen 2 dab units
