Fitting a new head unit

adriandilly

I would like to buy a JVC Model: KD-SD80BT single DIN head unit for my car because it has all the features I'm looking for..
(If they made a double DIN version with all the same features such as the KW-SD70BT I'd have that, but I need a REAR aux input)
So, going for the single DIN unit, I'm gunna need a single DIN kit

I have a 2002 Focus Ghia with a Ford 6006E Radio installed

Could anyone tell me which kit I need to fit this unit?
Also, which lead would I need to use my car's steering stalk control with the JVC KD-SD80BT? I've seen one lead kit but it says not for Focus GHIA models

Thanks in advance

You'll need a fascia adaptor (rectangular black plastic that sortof blends the JVC into the dashboard, and maybe an adaptor for the steering wheel controls if you have them, and maybe a little adaptor for the aeriel - this is just general advice. Since you're going double DIN to single DIN, you may need some sort of cage (bit the stereo slides into) adaptor too.
Any car should have ISO connectors, which is 2 big plugs, one for the speaker wiring and one for power etc., and these can be plugged into the JVC.
Autoleads make all this kit, check out their website, and goto Halfords for advice, and buy there or look out on eBay once you know the part numbers for everything you need.

A seller on ebay called Dynamic sounds is very good for all the kit you need. They also do the surrounds with the keys for removing the original radio.

Also if you don't know the code for the ford radio make a note of the S/N starting with M and post it in the "ford radio codes for free" thread in the motoring section, then write the code on the outside of the radio somewhere.

This is the wiring adaptor to retain your steering wheel controls

This should be the correct fascia adaptor for you

OP maybe have a look on forums specific for your make of car. Might be a a poster who has done the same as what your wanting to do.
