Great video, kinda curious about what was said at the end wondering if you had a way to get rid of the gap

[@ScottTheCarTech]

+ViaDavidc yeah. I got a new, better stereo!

[@david0001car]

nice! that was a good starter radio though

[@BuggyAlstare1998]

Good video.. Thanks!

[@hetaes]

Good information but next time have someone to hold the camera for you and show the entire process.

[@josephrappold]

Great video, thanks for the upload...happy birthday to the lil rascal!

[@un_cog9677]

I want to do the same thing to my car, I got a similar head unit, will I loose audio quality with the new HU (I'm assuming the OEM stereo's amp was tailored for optimal sound with the stock speakers?) .

[@kameronspencer4863]

thank you so much!

[@twinakafresh]

My pioneer radio came with a black ground wire and the wire harness came with a black wire... do i connect them both and ground them to the chassis? Or do i not ground them to the chassis

[@traviswaltz6483]

Hi Scott, where did you get that wiring harness? Great video!

[@fishnabubu]

Did you run into any problems with any other car controls not working like turn signals and what not? because i know that can be a problem.

[@daisyfrederick3529]

How did you know what face plate to buy? And where did you buy it at

[@kevinr5962]

I just tried to install a radio in my focus the thing is that the radio turns on but it doesn't play anything on the speakers but when I put the factory radio back everything works I have a 2005 Ford Focus zxw

[@isaiahhorlacher2725]

Hey Scott, Great video, I really liked the way you explained and showed exactly what needed to be showed and not any more or any less. Now I do have a couple questions. I personally have a 2005 Ford Focus ZX3 and have been trying to install a new radio. But the previous owners before me added a subwoofer and snipped a lot of wires and added a bunch more and I am stuck trying to make sense of it all. If you could answers a few questions that would be great! Have a good day and thank you.

[@jet1727]

I don’t get what you’re doing at 7 min with speaker output and power output are you connecting the wiring to something ?

[@jasonmh76]

Did you hook up steering wheel controls?

[@ScottTheCarTech]

+Jason Hill no. That radio didn't support them

[@erickp5475]

how has your focus held up and has it been reliable? I'm 16 looking at an 05 focus with 90k miles would your reccomend it?

[@ScottTheCarTech]

+erick pellecer It is in really good shape. I have 200,000 miles on it and it runs well. Like any car, be sure to change the oil regularly and service it per your manufacturer's recommendations

[@erickp5475]

awesome! would you say it's a good idea for me to buy the car with 90k miles? everything looks clean on it.

[@ScottTheCarTech]

+erick pellecer I would say buying any car involves a certain degree of risk. I would inspect the car or have someone you know and trust inspect the car first

[@stevenzuardo9384]

Hey Scott great video, I have two questions for you. First, how can i check which radios will fit my focus? Second my ac vents got stuck in the defog position and the knob broke, is this an easy fix? thanks!

[@ScottTheCarTech]

+steven zuardo Most standard size radios will fit. I would check junk yards for the know. Tha knob is easier than the radio to put in. I hope I was able to answer your questions

[@stevenzuardo9384]

Yea you most certainly did, looking forward to seeing the other videos on your channel

[@ScottTheCarTech]

+steven zuardo Thank you very much. Keep me posted on your progress

[@stevenzuardo9384]

Radio installation went very well, everything works great. Moving on to the vent control issue next. Now that I have some free time I'm really trying to tune up the old car, there's some decent work that needs to be done

[@ScottTheCarTech]

+steven zuardo That's awesome! Keep me posted. If you need advice let me know

[@spikeymikey451]

Could you link to where you bought your radio looking to buy one

[@Insert639]

Your son is so cute lol.

[@ScottTheCarTech]

+Tyson Sprinter Thank you!

[@crazyscott71]

just what it says any tech would know wire nuts used in automotive is a no go. not trying to bash you but I've seen to many fires and electrical problems due to there use. maybe in testing form

[@ScottTheCarTech]

+Scott Ward thanks for the feedback

[@Infinity9_]

i have 2004 :(

[@ScottTheCarTech]

+EpicGamer2016 Unfortunately they changed in 05. Thanks for watching though

[@crazyscott71]

really your a tech but your using wire nuts in a car

[@ScottTheCarTech]

+Scott Ward Without punctuation I'm not really sure what you are trying to say
