It has been done before but only on certain units as a firmware update
via cd. There was a foriegn website with patches and instructions for
other units. also the 6000 cd should be able to do this as it
recognises cd roms and on some fords is used to load updates to the
satnav system via cd rom.

NO, it's not possible. I know this radio inside out, and believe me,
it cannot work. Firmware upgrade via CD-Rom is also not possible on a
6000.
There is an MP3 version of this radio available, which has an
additional DSP, circuitry, software, MP3 license etc. to do the
decoding. It costs £100 more than the normal unit when you buy a new
Ford Focus.
