    I watched a few videos about this but they are all of the people in the act of changing the stereo, nothing about what cables to buy etc. Ideally I would want the control stick to still work but it's not a deal breaker. Has anyone that has done this before give me some advice?

    I did. Halfords popped it in while I had a coffee. All controls work. They wouldn't if I tried it myself...

    Might be the best bet. How much did they charge you?

    I installed an Eonon Android headunit in my Focus. I think the 2005 Focus would have a square headunit so you'd need a normal double DIN unit. It came with a CANBUS box so all the steering wheel controls work like before!

    Installed my Eonon Android head unit today. Perfect day for the installation after work because all the radio stations were banging with 90s club classics :p

    Everything was really plug and play except for the amplifier power cable. Works awesome! I'm tethering my phone's data using WiFi and then I can listen to Spotify while driving.

    Also changed the post-cat O2 sensor on the Yaris. Emissions improved a bit but will still fail so I will do the pre-cat sensor next. The post-cat sensor was in bits and the cap was loose on it.
