Leigh12 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Hi, I found the below tutorial to be very helpful in explaining what kit you need to upgrade a 2015 fiesta stereo to say nav and how to do it. I currently have it dismantled and upgrade parts ordered, but need some help knowing how to the screen connects. Here is the bit of instruction about the screen: ______________________________ ”Fit the Sat Nav screen, two wires need to be connected from the Sat Nav unit to the radio, this enables the voice guidance. Screen Pin 6 > Radio pin 4 Screen Pin 12 > Radio pin 5 The black Fakra connector needs to be removed from your radio and connected to the black connector on the Sat Nav. The fakra adapter connects the pink fakra on the screen to the FM fakra on the radio. The blue fakra is for the GPS antenna“ _________________________________ It’s the first bit I don’t understand - I have the old plug that went on the centre at the back with a load of different coloured wires in it, I presume that just plugs in again to knee screen so What is the pin info relating to? any help really appreciated.

fgservo Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 That wiring is for the audio nav, if you dont want, you dont need to worry, everything work flawless. If you want the audio nav, need to strip 2 wires on each side, and add 2 new wires to that pins, the pin number you will see it when you have the connector on hand. I dont bother to add new wirings, so i dont have audio nav. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leigh12 Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Does anyone know if the Ariel on a non dab 2015 fiesta will work with the sat nav fab unit I am retrofitting? If I need a dab arial I see the factory fitting was a booster and wire fitted in the boot/rear bumper. On eBay called: Ford Fiesta MK7 2011 - 2017 DAB Aerial Signal Booster - BA6T-18C847-AB Looks like this needs power to it and a lead from the unit to it. Has anyone fitted one and know what parts I would need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh12 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Ive installed and DAB does not coe up on menu - presume as not arial so yep I won't bother with it. Success on the voice guidance - I wanted the voice to say directions - so simply removed the screen plug with all the wires - then thanks to another post I found on this forum - I cut the able tie and removed the fastening clip by lifting it on both sides at the movable joins and prised out the connector from the curved housing - you can see which is 6 and 12 on it and then cut them along a bit - put a join in to re-join and coupled in 2 new wires to run down to the stereo unit. All SORTED - works perfectly. If its helps anyone - as above I just left the exiting 2 wires in at the screen and cut them to join in my 2 new ones and rejoin existing - then ran each down to the empty 4 and 5 pins on the radio = big plug of the two. I pushed stripped wire ends into the empty plugs and it makes contact well enough but maybe needs soldering I don't know but it works.

Rebel69 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Got another problem now after few minutes of driving the GPS with a line through it comes on in left bottom of screen. Location of vehicle cant be found in status but when driving the maps are off but close to where they should be.ie its a few roads away from where i really am Would this be a faulty GPS module or more likely cable? All hardware is used from eBay Cable is new from eBay Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liampatrick Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Hi all, The guide by Will seems very comprehensive, but I am very novice! I have been quoted £240 to get this fitted (if I supply all the parts) and was told it’s an absolute pain to code. So, I am wondering if anyone else very novice has done it and can recommend I attempt it? Otherwise it seems quite costly!😬 Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcavanagh Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Hi guys, I have a Mk7.5 2015 here, and really want to upgrade from the Sony small screen, to a larger Sat nav version.
