Ford Focus MK2.5 (2008-2011) Stereo Removal

[@ricfootball]

I know this is an old video now, but it was exactly what I needed to know, so just wanted to say thanks pal. Very kind of you to post this info.

[@JamesSimpsonUK]

Hi There Trystanb, Most of the ST's come with the Aux in the glove box, if its not there, all the wires for it will be there, but it will just be missing the actual connection in the glovebox. All the connectors will be on the back of the stereo's quadlock too, so if you change stereo's everything will work still.

[@andysurf1000]

I Just used combinations of 1-2-3 stacked up store cards on a 2009 focus style. Worked a treat!

[@wmduiv]

Thanks mate! I was just looking for instructions how to remove the cover without damaging it.

[@Tobypleass]

thankyou so much buddy so nice to find a video on a ST guide with ease!!!!

[@JamesSimpsonUK]

Hi Nick, unfortunately the creators of the lead never got back to me about supplying these - which is a bit gutting as I know the product well and know would love to sell them as I cannot reccomend them enough. They can be found on eBay though if you search for musiconnect leads. As for the calls, yes the stereo goes into "Phone" mode when a call comes through, you just have to make sure you connect the mute lead.

[@Oldfordsneverdie]

Excellent video James, cheers pal!

[@vrappim47]

Thank you. You solved my problem.

[@starsoxx]

Champion just the vid I needed thanks pal .... I'm gonna be fitting a Sony head unit will I need a separate wiring harness? N do u sell them or should I pop to halfords or something

[@anthonypaine4206]

THANKS JUST THE INFO I NEEDED

[@trystanb]

Nice vid! Question though: Do you know if the 05-07 ST's come with the aux in the glovebox? I had the 08 facelifted version but now downgrading. If not then this vid will come in handy as I've always used my iPod/Phone in the car.. Cheers

[@gofwynne]

very good video & instructions where can I get the tool that you are using ?

[@lewjamben]

Very useful. Thanks for sharing.

[@andreavda]

I've got a ford focus with a radio just like yours, but without DAB, I just saw on amazon some really huge and cool kenwood radios with GPS/DAB/USB/MP3/DVD, pretty much everything, what do I have to check to see if it's compatible with the ford focus ?

[@talksr]

Great video :) Can you remember where you got the tool from you used to remove the fascia?

[@KAPAndersen]

Hey nice one, it helped me yank mine out without breaking any clip mountings ;P I have a question; what is the third button you have in the lower dash? I have noticed the wires are there in min, however i have only the two window heater buttons in the middle.??

[@JamesSimpsonUK]

Hi Kasper, You mean the button next to the heated front and rear windows? this is to turn the traction control on/off on a Focus ST

[@KAPAndersen]

Arh okay right, I'm just asking because when i had removed the frontpanel I was looking under the button array of mine, and there is prepared for a switch. i.e. there's two wires in the plug and all, just the button switch is missing. so I wondered what the difference was.

[@setticfoy]

James, where can I get a DAB Radio for my 10 plate focus and do you do a tutorial on how to fit it?

[@elliotbashforth9897]

I'm only 9 years late lol cheers mate

[@5cbst]

Hey, I'm trying to get my phone to connect to the bluetooth but my radio won't show the code to enter on my phone. Please help

[@steed5000]

It helped me man, cheers buddy.

[@signuppauld]

Hi JS, I followed youur blog to replace my front brake discs and pads - many thanks! I need some advice on how to remove the main door window switch panel since an led stopped working under one switch - any ideas? Does it "pop" off somehow?

I have parrot in my Focus, how do you get it to play music through it...??

[@freefallnick]

thanks bro, it's exactly the info I needed... :)

[@kazoo2710]

Do I have a weird Ford Focus, I have a 2007 ford focus titanium and the stereo is a 2008-2011 Sony Stereo

[@English-Sparta]

James I have a focus zetec 2008. The radio is the standard silver 6000cd. I was going to fit the IS3200 parrot kit do you know if this would be a straight fit or would I need a adapter loom? Thanks

[@paddyturk1986]

Is there a USB port in the back of that radio

[@JamesSimpsonUK]

Not on this type of radio

[@bestpeter78]

There is usb OEM conection on the back?

[@kicksoffs]

[@zokna]

Hello. I am wondering where the aux cable is fitted behind the Ford 6000 CD radio? Could you pleas explain this?

[@mauriceGp17]

Hey!, a friend of mine passed me the after market stereo (double din, dvd, etc) its working fine, BUT!, i've lost the steering wheel function and aux function, so my question is do you know the cable color of the steering wheel functions?, because its suppose to remain those functions but I don't have the instructions :/

[@annmillie9709]

Hello James, Ive got one of these CD players, but i cant seem to be able save the time. I cant change the time and time but cant save it! Do you know what button i have to press to save? Kind regards Millie.

[@laurencecoombs17]

[@bestpeter78]

[@samwri1984]

Bit elbow grease need to get them screws out there James ;-P xxxx

[@ben6bh]

What dose the asst button do on the stereo

[@mickschreiner5989]

I'm buying a stereo for my xr5 of a wrecker, do I need to get the code from them?

[@JamesSimpsonUK]

You can get them from Ford, or even on eBay. These are rather hard to fit, as they have a complete new antenna assembly - The stereo takes two inputs, one for FM/AM/MW and another for the DAB side. As for removal/fitting of the stereo, these can all be found on my website jamessimpson.co.uk

[@FoodOnCrack]

do you need an adapter to fit a double din radio?

[@MrCyberdude]

That's for the quick guide, I'm just about to fit a wwwDOTeononDOTcom/Car-GPS/Specific-Car-GPS/Ford/D5162.html stereo model 5162 with GPS and Australian maps. I have also purchased the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) as well as the TV tuner which is supposed to be good for 230kms. I suspect I will only fit the stereo first and do the rest when I have time in about a month maybe.

[@europaspain7813]

Hi. Do you need the security code when you reconect the radio ?

[@joshuk141]

Yes
