Hi,

My son has a 2010 Ford Fiesta and is wanting to upgrade the current stereo for a similar ford one but with Bluetooth. Has anyone does this? Does the wiring support it? Thank you

    Hi 

    I'm more knowledgeable on the focus model but I'd like to inform you the bluetooth part is a module separate to the headunit, 

    So the existing headunit may support bluetooth but the module used back in 2010 is very limited in terms of capabilities; for example it doesn't support streaming of music from a phone.

    Also fitting the bluetooth module requires a software update by ford to tell the stereo it has bluetooth also sourcing a compatible module can be a pain and more work than it's worth, mondeo bluetooth module wont work with a focus; not sure if a focus module will work in a fiesta the only way to know is by the model number printed on the module 

    In my opinion your best off going for a double din aftermarket headunit adapter kit 

    Then fitting a double din headunit which has bluetooth built in, you can then also add a reverse camera for as little as 12 pounds for one on Ebay 

    Heres a link to my guide on going aftermarket in a 2010 focus; you will see I removed the factory bluetooth module in the pictures of the guide: https://www.fordownersclub.com/topic/63689-guide-fitting-aftermarket-headunit-mk25-focus-2008-2011/
