move ICE from one Focus to another

Hi

Previously i had a focus (earlier model) which had an aftermarket Sony DAB radio, i now want to take this out my old car and move it into my new Focus (newer model).

I pulled out the stereo from the old focus and was shocked with all the cables there were so many! I left it in there because I thought I would never be able to reconnect this into the new focus. The additional difficulty is the aftermarket stereo has a dab aerial which I will need to remove.

I believe I would need to buy a new face plate to suit the new focus shape, do I need to buy different cables or would the cables from the old focus work? Sorry I dont know what the correct names for the cables are.

I attach some pictures to hopefully help.

If I successfully manage to take it out, in the old focus I want to put the original ford stereo back in, I have misplaced the radio code. Does anyone know where I could get this from?

Many thanks
