sticking "extras" on the dash board makes me feel like i've done too much shopping at supercheap.

Do you know how the Alpine Hub works? It has an "extra" you stick on the dash.

The extra abilities of the Parrot above the very simple Ford unit are due to it having it's own screen, mono or colour depending on the model.

Any simple BT system with just an answer/hang-up button works the same as factory, and all simply show "media" on the Ford screen, unless you go the Alpine hub, and it comes with an attachment to stick to your dash to control it all. Can you see the pattern?
