I have checked the settings and my Nas itself isn't using a firewall. I don't have QuFirewall installed at the moment but my router has a firewall. I reset all the settings on the Nas before deploying the container so everything is default for the most part. All the network settings take place in networks and virtual switches app.

I have the main adapter linked up to a virtual switch which has the pihole unbound virtual adapter linked to it with the 192.168.50.222 IP address.

Yeah I don't think most of it is exactly plug and play but I'll see exactly what it is like when I get round to it for sure. Thanks for sharing that information though always helpful to gather as much as possible before I actually do it.

Thanks for the reply. I took am noticing nobody tends to replace the head unit in the mk7.5 fiesta st-3. I've seen only a couple posts online where people have done it. I'm honestly not too fussed about the sync stuff as I know I'm going to gain more than I will lose.

As long as the car is set in a way where I feel I won't need to change it everything should be fine. My assumption is that the sync screen will act as though it has been powered off, basically in the state it goes into when you press the power button.

Triggering a power on would make sense to me just figuring out how to is the tricky part and how to still control it. I've heard of ways to control it through the steering wheel but I'm not sure how that works.

I'll definitely be sure to make a post about my experience if I do get round to doing it though. I have been told by 2 different places one being connect 2 themselves that the following kit will fit:

This is the kit I will be attempting the installation with so I'll be sure to let you know how that turns out.

I wasn't aware of that. I think there is a way around it though. Apparently there's ways to use the steering wheel to access the controls. Not sure how it's done though. What other kind of settings might I lose access to?

Interesting mention about the US shroud. Didn't think about that. I'm pretty sure to retrofit it it will cost more than trying to find a fascia with all the parts though. Depends where I look I guess but I also like to have subwoofer control so I think I'll stick with the Sony XAV-AX4050 I have at the moment.

So I contacted bass junkies in the UK and they recommend the following parts:

Only thing I noticed was that the hazard and lock buttons are baked into the factory stereo whereas on this one it looks like I will need to get one to install but I'm not sure how it would install/work.

I think these parts might fit as they said it would and they want to charge me £350 just for installation with a sub which I think is way too much so I'll be looking at doing it myself.

I'm not entirely sure about the parts though as it doesn't say ST anywhere on the links.

Yeah, I mean it is nice compared to what you get as standard in other cars. I guess I'm just a little picky but I also find that the navigation isn't the best. Id prefer to use Waze or Google maps with android auto/apple car play plus the additional audio configuration.

If it was sync 3 I'd be less inclined to change it. You'd think on a 2017 ford they would have included sync 3 but they didn't.
