I had a new CD player installed into my recently bought second hand '05 Focus to replace the standard cassette player. Unfortunately the garage I took it to did not connect it to the steeing controls.

Is it easy enough to connect the CD player to the steering controls myself?


The garage tried fobbing me off saying it wasn't compatible, even though the box, which I left with them at the time, clearly shows that it is.

Unfortunately having spoken to a few other people about this garage quite a few similar stories of shoddy workmanship and blatant lies have been mentioned and I don't want to have to take it back to them but also don't want to have to pay another garage for what may be a 30 second job.

 

What radio is it? Make and Model?
You might have to buy an adaptor, I paid Ł35 for mine.

 

as above it will say its compatable but you will need an adaptor for which ever make of headunit you have, ebay tends to have some bargains i got my sony adaptor pretty cheap on there

 

Sorry for taking so long to respond, here's the stereo.

 

Its ready to accept the additional loom need to make it work as i understand it. As said look on ebay and i know that mafco used to sell these looms as ive bought a few over the years

 

Did u say that the actual stereo was compatable with steering column controls? I only say that as only a certain amount of stereo's come with the facility, I've got a dvd headunit in my own car n I dont believe its suitable 4 steering column controls
