roper993 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 So after my baby fiesta got written off, ive made the jump to a focus zetec s in deep impact blue. Managed to find a car that had already been built with the only option of parking sensors, which ment it was 3 weeks to come instead of 3 months! Upon delivery of the car, to my amazement it came with a touch screen multimedia screen (not sat nav) which i was not expecting, big bonus! Since owning the car i have tinted the back windows my self and thats about it. Just wondering if anyone has any tips, tricks with the touchscreen to be able to get av input like the American version. Also is there any cool mods people have found, suggest! Cheers guys, Alex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roper993 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Cheers pal! Got the 1litre 125 ps engine in. Pretty quick for a one litre tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zed550 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Yeah, I got that one too. It's a very good all-around engine for the Focus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roper993 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Yer its got a good pull to it when it gets going but still really good on mpg ! Been having a look at remaps and they can push about 145 maybe 150 bhp, which is a nice 20/25% increase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zed550 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Pumaspeed (as well as many other), does remap that could pump the BHP to around 145. I was looking at them too, but afraid of messing up my warranty, so I think I'll stick to the 125 for now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roper993 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Ford do approve of certain suppliers doing the remap which wont void the warranty. Worth having a chat with Ford! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Mountune is the only approved tuner, and that only applies to their MPxxx upgrades. I believe there are no Mountune upgrades for the 1.0 Focus though... As for mods, LED puddle lamps would be my recommendation: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/73233-alexp999s-mk35-focus-st-3-ecoboost/?p=535886 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm sure my old Focus Zetec S had puddle lamps....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an item in the Convenience Pack on the Zetec S trim, doesn't come as standard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Ah ok, that explains it. I thought all Foci (except maybe base model) had puddle lamps... Scratch that then, lol. I'd definitely get some LEDs for the interior and boot lamps though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The convenience pack was too expensive for me and not needed as im looking to get some alloys, white fifteen 52's on it , and the window tint was only £100 for back 3, so saved a few pennies, just dont have any puddle lamps like my old one!

Mine doesn't have the ambient lighting, it's only for Titanium and STs, it's a shame as my Fiesta used to have it. Ordered the boot LEDs though, good shout, thanks for that mate! Thinking about the puddle LEDs too, but feeling a bit scared in case i break something in there, based on your comments how hard it was to swap.

alexp999 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 The overhead lights are halogen bulbs on the Zetec S, I was going to change mine before I chopped it in for my ST. If you change the puddle lights like I did, you don't run the risk of breaking anything, it is just really fiddly as you don't have a lot of room to work with. More so getting the bulb in its holder, pulling the bung out and pushing it back in is easy. I just didn't fancy trying to get the mirrors off to do it properly, lol.

alexp999 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Here we go, perfect vid for all of them :) That's how I did my puddle lights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zed550 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Oh nice! Alright, I'll give it a go. Do you know which interior LED light works well? (I can search eBay too, but thought you already know which works) :). Also was thinking swapping my reversing lights as someone linked it into another post: http://www.ebay.com/itm/371123457268?rmvSB=true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'd probably pop the light out and have a look at what is in there. Could well be the same as the boot lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roper993 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Anyone got any info on whether you can get an av input into the touch screen, Or anyway to play videos ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Don't think it is possible. You can't legally have a video playing device in view of the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
