Default new sony head unit

I just bought one of these for my AU2.. had a little.. ahem.. accident with the old one.. :togo:
(i broke a connector on the board while i was trying to remove it to change a globe and it won't switch on)

Anyone got one? It was booked in to get intalled today but the dude said i need the AU1 pocket before it goes in. Bloody great! I ordered it yesterday and it gets to the ford dealer approximately tuesday.
The old one can probly be fixed if you've got a stuffed HU and need parts or whatever.. if anyones interested pm me i spose. I just went the sony one because i'm no good at soldering the a new bit from another broken HU into it, and they are $220 second hand for another! The ford ones got the cassette player, single slot cd etc.. so yeah. At $220 for a 2nd hand ford one, i got a brand new sony one for $220 installed!

Glenn

I haven't got one, but I sell them. They are ok. And I guess the price is reasonable too.
