TJR121 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hello I just found it really hard to find any helpful topics, so I created this for anyone wondering if and how they change the fascia of the radio. Good news it can be done. features your car doesn’t have won’t work unless correct supplies are installed as well but comment if you need help, also folding mirrors I can help too! And centre console upgrade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RO02THO Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 What centre console upgrade have you done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGEMMELL Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Looking to retrofit sat nav in my mk7.5 ST-Line. Either the Sony or the Ford one but the wiring has me confused especially the part for the voice controls. Where does the GPS get installed? I have yet to take mine out and have a look to see what wiring I have already to compare it to pictures of the Sat Navs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewie226 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I gave up on the voice control as was too much to do for me - I wasn’t comfortable cutting the wires to the screen or dismantling the wire block as for the gps antenna - mines stick behind the screen under the binnacle and gets a perfect signal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewie226 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 You don’t need the radio part basically you really only need the screen as it’s like a stand alone sat nav that connects to the fascia its possible to navigate through the standard fascia but it’s easier with the nav one the only change I made with forscan was the screen size I too have added the centre console with arm rest plus an additional 12v socket in the back - taken from my original console - ambient lit cup holders too the 12v supply is built into the ambient loom ( I had to purchase this separately) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGEMMELL Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Thanks for the help. Does anyone have any photos or a video of how to get the audio on Sat Nav? This is the only bit im not sure on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
