richardc1983 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 My partner looking for a replacement stereo for a mk2 focus. Current one is the Ford - 6000 CD - but it doesn't have blue tooth or aux. Budget upto £300 ish. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Tango Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'd recommend the Pioneer AVH5800DAB but don't know if you have a Halfords discount card because it brings the price down from £399 to £339 But still too much, have a look on Car Audio Centre, you can get a cheapish one and get a new Fascia plate for your car, really good place, I got my Fascia from there but Stereo from Halfords. https://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/category.asp?m=&c=2730&brandfilter=&features=&sort_by_price=ASC&pageItem=12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypsp Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 when i used to have my 2008 focus i put a single din jvc radio/cd in had bluetooth aux etc . easy to fit just get the autoleads connection kit around £25, and a patch lead for the make of the unit you put in, so you don`t loose the steering controls £5 for the patch lead. if you put a double din unit in you won`t need to buy the extra plastic trim for it to fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonboy Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Good radio at an affordable price is a Clarion FZ102E Don't knock it, as rugged as it comes with Aux and USB but no CD. Easy to set up without all the gimmick's, can be found for around £56 if you search for it., 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got sat nav via micro sd card that came with it, bluetooth, can hook up a reverse camera which I'm doing today, it's touchscreen, and also comes with the canbus box. It's also a doddle to use, I'd highly recommend and at £169 delivered its unbeatable value. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F0CUE Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 No clue but does say it has Google so would be a matter of connecting to WiFi or WiFi tethering with your mobile and save the offline Google map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidi Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I have also installed the same head unit as above - however the backlight for the button lights doesn’t work and it doesn’t keep time - hour behind (even on GPS setting). Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some devices that receive a time signal also have a setting to determine what time zone you are in. If you get into the menu, there may be an adjustment to move the time zone to +1, or -1, allowing it to sync a 00 time signal, then allow it to work out what actual time to correctly display...
