also if you do have it does it work proper thats a questions im interested in knowing also? :)

thanks in advance



I think it's for aftermarket units with an USB socket on the back, not for the factory radios. Adding factory-style USB requires the newer Sony head units from around mid-2008 and the updated Bluetooth module.

Indeed.

If you don't have usb just convert it into a powered socket for charging phones etc.

Look at my guides link (under my posts on a PC) for instructions.

Thanks for advise guys. Yeah sounds good that I'll check that out cheers stoney

This USB connection is for original Asian Focus MK2.5 radio's. Original Asian Ford radio's are completely different from the European Ford radio's. Most original Asian Focus MK2.5 radio's have a mini USB port at the back of the radio. This USB connection panel can be connected directly to these radio's.

A few Years ago I bought an original Asian Focus MK2.5 radio from Ebay for testing purposes. The sound quality of these radio's is actually quite good (a lot better than the European 6000 CD). The language of these radio's can be set on Chinese or English. However unfortunately these radio's do not support the European Bluetooth/Voicecontrol system so I sold it again after a while.

the usb music box connects to the back of the stereo you pull stereo out remove the wiring and then plug the wiring in between the music box its a 5 min job you don't need the othbits just the usb music box and then feed the cable to were you would like t

if you look at instructions I have loaded pictures up of shows how easy it is

ive got the square usb thingy,but how did you connect it to the music box ?they have different connectors

ah i see.i thought you was conecting it straight to the box.

No just a lil convertor needed and all working fine loads on ST group have done this now easy mod and better than having to carry cd's around you can set 6 folders up on usb stick and load with playlists or even just artists
