Removing the Onboard Computer on Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Car stereo

Want to remove the onboard computer/radio from a Focus? Start by detaching the plastics that secure the cover above the centre console using a lever. Pull off the air conditioning control panel and the plastic trim that includes the air vents (always use the lever for removal). Unscrew the fastening screws of the radio unit and proceed to disconnect the power connectors. Extract the radio unit from the dashboard. Connect the new radio/sat nav, secure it in the dashboard plastics, and screw everything back together. Refit the cover plastics above the centre console and dashboard.
