Wheels93 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Looks good Yunni. Looking forward to seeing the motor on stand in a weeks time. Well today wasn't too bad. Managed to get all four alloys rubbed down and prepped for paint. Now time for a class of wine and some crisps. Just praying I get done in time :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels93 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Fitted my radio yesterday and finalised the install today. USB and AUX in the armrest using the ford plate that was already fitted. Installed a HMDI in and additional USB in the glove box if I fancy spreading the radios wings. Taken the ford microphone out and fitted the pioneer mic in its place up in the courtesy light. There is also another reason for having two USB ports. Who can guess what they can do? Had to file down the bezel a little bit as the radio didn't like opening so had to take a little bit off. Seats have had their valet now so waiting for them to dry and hoping they come out well soon. Two of the four wheels have been sprayed and currently waiting for them to dry too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels93 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Well here we go guys. All four wheels are done and on the car. Happy with the finish but am going to polish them up for Ford Fair. C&C welcome The radio has been fitted to and has fit really well to be fair. The fit is really really snug and only just made it into the cage due to all of the connections that are at the back ***For the record the stalk does still work*** You will see below how many connections the god damn things got lol. Firstly here is a picture of the radio: The picture below shows the amount of connections that are available: The following two pictures show the Glove Box and the Arm Rest. The Glove Box contains a USB port and a HDMI connection. The Arm Rest contains another USB port and a AUX port. The USB port in the Glove Box alloys iPhones to use Car play and the second one is for Android Auto. Here is a simple photo of the radio interface and how the screen looks. The next screenshots are of Android Auto. The first picture shows the splash screen, the second shows Google Cards, the third shows Spotify intergration. Sorry if I have bored you but I am open to questions in regards to anything wheels or radio or anything else :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have hosted you for a weekend I'm sure!! 8700BT nice!! I noticed the icons on screen looked a bit different compared to mine, No problem regarding the calibration mic. Ill ship it out along with a self addressed envelope inside the packaging for free, So when your done just pop it in envelope and pay the return postage to an address in Northern Ireland BT36 4PE The self calibration settings store themselves in the "Custom1" profile on the equaliser options, You still retain all of the other equaliser profiles as they currently are aswell as "Custom2" should you decide to make your own adjustment. I appreciate the welcome over to FordFair mate but sadly i cant drive at present and the focus needs a full service, However next year i will be well prepared to make an appearance with the focus. The alloys look great aswell mate the blue calipers go nicely with the graphite colour too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
