    yeah sorry i didn't really explain properly, basically I bought it for my Mk2 focus with all fascia and extra cables etc. but then sold the car but kept the head unit.

    I am now wanting to fit it to my 2000 plate focus, and having taking it to my local audio specialist to ask how i would do it (who was a rude B*****d) i still have no idea.

    Thanks

    You'll need the loom specific to the MK1 Focus and a new fascia as the radio is squarer than the standard 5000/6000 designed for the car.

    I'll look stuff up for you.
