So I offered $50 for the Sony HU, that or I'd just put the BT module back. They accepted, so I wound up with the Zetec BT module and Sony.
Even if it doesn't stream music, it's got some advantages, a good one being it can voice dial straight out the directory, with the old stereo I had to pre-record names and numbers.
I really like the complete hands free voice calling capability, the lack of which puts me off fitting most aftermarket units.
The stereo itself seems OK, but the Ford CD 6000 always surprised me with how good it sounded, for a stock base model stereo.
With the clock, when I installed the Sony, it automatically got the right time from the car, so no issue there.

During the time I've had the MB, one phone I've owned would use the BT for navigation but not music. All of the others were phone functions only. Weird.
The CD6000 sounds pretty good to me. I'd like to be able to stream from the phone, but not badly enough to venture into aftermarket stereos.
I should sort out a BT module for the minijack input, it would be nice to have music and navigation through the stereo.
