Hi everyone,

I need a bit of help, recently got this car off a friend, want to install a new stereo/touch screen in it. I understand it requires a double din connection compatible item but my question is installation easy? Is it a simple case of just removing the factory stereo and using the connections from that or would I have to replace any wires inside?

 

Any help is appreciated as I have no experience with this sort of job

Cheers guys

    Ford wiring is not standard size plugs on stereos, the adaptors are cheap on eBay or were last time I bought

    What adaptors would I need? Or more specifically what wires would need the adaptors?

    Something like this.  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ISO-Radio-Wiring-Harness-Adapter-Lead-Connector-for-Ford/181431454404?fits=Car+Make%3AFord&epid=2278712064&hash=item2a3e284ac4:g:PcIAAOSwkiVeO8ja     But I wouldn’t buy until I have taken radio out and checked plugs/ cables. You might need aerial adaptor also but not sure. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Focus-Car-Aerial-Antenna-Adaptor-for-Car-Radio-CD-ISO-to-DIN/182192382301?hash=item2a6b83215d:g:TKoAAOSw8YdeO7on     Those are just examples, I am not saying buy from those sellers in particular
