I don’t think you can upgrade as you will need the Ford loom if you want a reverse camera to work. Not sure if the Ambiente has the GPS antenna installed, I think mine did even though it was a Trend, I still had to install my own antenna as Ford uses their own connectors.
For example, the standard Ford loom has one large connector but the Sony loom uses two so not sure even if it does work if everything will work.
What do you mean drop the media player? They can play CDs, DVDs, play music from USB, wireless CarPlay, media players if they are an Android app.
The only thing I lost was iPod support but wireless CarPlay makes up for that for me.
