For me it’s another expense that I don’t really care about 😂

Its only a tiny feature anyways! not like you'll miss it, I mean you could always press they key anyway haha.  I'm hoping to up from 2 to 3 after this upgrade, don't fancy paying over 1500 for an infotainment system haha so this should prepare the car in most ways.

Yeah it’s a very straightforward swap to sync 3. I don’t use the switch because the doors don’t unlock when the ignition is off. In the event of an accident nobody could get in.

From what I've read it is.  :O Really? I actually didn't know that, I came from a Fiat Punto which in the event of an accident would detect crumpling and release the door locks.  That's worth knowing :O

To be fair it may well do, but I’d rather leave em open just in case 😂 I live In sleepy ol Norfolk, not much chance or a carjacking round here either 😂

Oooh congrats!! Looks gorgeous!! Can’t wait to get that guide and rip out my sync system! 😃😃

 

did you need to take the entire dash lower section off or was that just for ease? 😅

Lovely job. Looks very well done. 

Please give me the guide. I want it in My Focus mk3

After yesterday’s long day of installation today I have been sorting out The programming side of things and I’m pleased to report I have all features and up and running. A completely successful upgrade.

😂 there will indeed it’s gonna take me a little while to put it together, as even with the best prep in the world there were still a few things that caught me out! I took some photos but probably not as many as I should have done. However once you get your head around what needs to be done it’s actually quite straightforward 👍🏻

No rush... Take your time.

Today would be good though! Or sooner.

:biggrin:
