Fiesta WS hatch 2011 Stereo upgrade time!

[Bremmario]

Hey all,

Just picked up a ford fiesta ws hatch 2011 model for $10k + my old 11 year old, hail written off suzuki baleno.

While the baleno was fairly standard, one area it demolished the fiesta is the stereo (and ease of install!).

I simply can't hack the standard stereo in the fiesta... I loved the fact I could just stick a 16gb usb in my old stereo and it would fire up any time I turned the engine on. Whereas with the stock fiesta I have to plug my iphone into the audio jack, turn it on, navigate to ipod etc and not forget to take my phone with my when I leave the car + it drains the battery (unless I stick it on constant charge)...

I need:
1. A Head deck which with the following functionality (in decreasing order of important) - USB, GPS, bluetooth, DVD, Digital TV (not important)
2.Replacement speakers to go in the existing pods - splits for the front - I think i'll just move the stock fronts to the back, I never sit in the back!

I currently have:
1. 2 channel 1000watt KAC 7252 kenwood amp (previously ran my 12" sub)
2. 12" JBL sub in box (more than adequate for my bass needs)

I've done some researched on the web at large and also this forum and I'm still at a loss... I saw trento's post which was excellent but not quite applicable to my situation...

I've seen a few dodgy looking replacement head decks such as:
1. http://www.sundaybuy.com/Car-DVD-Pla...-2938_753.html - has all the specs but... reliability/quality are anyone's guess
2. http://www.tradesolution.hk/e/ptxweb...oduct/364.html - probably horseshit
I also saw a double din facia rack thingy for 100 pounds. That would lead me to believe I'd lose a hell of a lot of functionality due to the fiesta's retarded integrated LCD system....?

Anyone have any ideas as to the options I have?

If I manage to successfully solve this I'll post details and step by step instructions...

Failing that I'm just going to go to an audio store and throw cash at them...
