Stoooopid question, but would this work in the UK?

Nice knob, too (oo-er!)

I know the GM OnsStar system doesn't but not sure about Ford. The 3 languages are clearly to cater to South America, USA and Canada. It looks good apart from the stupid stuck on knobs to the right of the screen. Tacky or what.

Still, I see they have a silver shifter knob and what looks like pedal covers. Sad I can spot stuff like that.

I had hoped the horrible knobs to the side of the screen were for something else! They really do look naff and you can clearly see the cable bodged into the facia

Paul - better to just replace the standard head unit with one that has Sat Nav. That way you'll get all the radio frequencies too!

Maybe it is. Whatever it is, it's rubbish!

yeah.. looks like a bluetooth type connection to me..

Even ford aren't crazy enough to have controls stuck to the dash with a cable going into the glove compartment...

Are they?

Yeah, I've always felt those look naff. Fair enough if the old bloke's actually put marker pen to dash.......but a stick on bit of plastic? nono
