Replacing the Radio in Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Car stereo

Want to install a new radio in place of the original? Let's look at the disassembly on the Ford Focus. To remove the stereo from the Focus, use the original or aftermarket metal keys. Insert the keys into the slots on the plastic cover of the stereo, pull the stereo towards you as shown in the video, and carefully extract the radio, being mindful of the various wiring (disconnect the power terminals and the antenna cable). If you are installing a generic brand radio, you will need an adapter. Fit the plastic frame and connect the power terminals. Insert and secure the new radio.
