So a lot of people had the buzzing issue. I had that issue as well. I took off the outside panel and then took out the inside box on the inside box there are 2 tabs with thermal paste. Replacing the thermal paste made everything work perfectly again.
Finally! I just bought a 2014 Focus SE last week that has this exact screen radio built into it and have been looking high and low for vids about it to try to see how to get this camera to work (it actually has one with it).
Does this work with Android Auto? I would assume so because it has the play store and has USB's as well. If not Android Auto, do you think headunit reloaded would work? Thank you!
Hi! Great video. One doubt, is headlight detection for brightness adaptation working to you? I have a similar unit and it detects as the headlights are ON always 😢😢
I had the same issue a lot of people are having with these style radios not turning on and finally got it working. Pretty much the only cable that doesn’t connect to anything is the white 8 pin connector (my cars a 2014 focus, not sure if it’s different for other model years), make sure to plug the 10 pin connector into the box and not the radio itself because it fits both. Also disconnect your battery before hooking up or you’re likely blowing fuses in the car or the one on the back of the radio if yours is like mine, red 10 amp fuse that’s located under the main cable
Have been working on installing mine this weekend, your comment really helped about figuring out the wiring. But the faceplate buttons don't work except for the hazards and lock. Reached out to the seller. We'll see what happens
I have a 2011 focus lw hatch, and has the same head unit as your old one. Do you reckon that new head unit you just installed would fit on mine? Cheers!!
I have a 2017 Ford Focus se and the radio is completely white blank nothing shows what should i do ?is it the radio box ?cause before it had a glitch and lines and went out .
I know it's an older video but have you experienced after installation that the temperature and mileage switches to kilometers and Celsius every time you switch off the car? Something is defaulting in my opinion.
The link no longer exists on eBay - I have the same one and it came with the car when I bought it. Would you happen to have the the model number so I can research this for a manual. Mine is stuck in kilometers. I’d like to reset it but I am not sure once I rest it if I’d get all the stuff back.

So I got this same aftermarket system, but my Focus has the sync 3 (I think) touchscreen radio. It has this giant apmi radio on the back if the touch screen that has a plug that does not fit any of the ports on this new one. I can not find a tutorial or instructions anywhere, and no aftermarket radio I have searched for has a port for this giant plug. Have you replaced one of these before?
Hey thanks for the video. Just installed the same one on my 2012 focus. One problem I have after the installation is the GPS. Maybe I didn’t plug something in but do you have problems finding your location when in google maps?
Google maps doesn't work that well with no wifi in my experience. Generally I've had to start navigating on wifi, have the map downloaded, then it kinda works. Sometimes.

What is the GPS Module for? Im going to connect it REGARDLESS.. but.. WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS IT FOR? GPS.. is clearly for MAPS.. but how does it work using that module..?

Can you help a beginner- if I am satisfied with my ford focus sound system, and want to install some third party multimedia that have 4x45w output, does it mean that I will downgrade my overall sound system in car? Thanks
even though this is aftermarket it honestly doesnt look bad, if it wasn't for the middle dial buttom thing i would say its perfect. i am more of a knob type of person. or make it fully touch without knobs
there's actually an upgraded version of this with 4gb of ram instead of 1 which im considering buying for the ability to add a sub. how's the sound quality compared to the original unit ?
had this exact one. very easy to install and held up through hell and back. sold the car and this stereo is the thing i miss the most about it. It got to the perfect loudness even though i still added a third party EQ to give it a 10+db boost. Whenever I had a shit day I would crank it to 25 and rattle my shitbox aluminum ford like a sociopath and feel alive. I got it for $99 and had the option to get Android/Apple Auto/Carplay for the price of a $40 usb dongle. Will never go back to brand name stereos after experiencing the freedom that is chinese headunits. the trim looked amazing and the fact they include the harness and wireless canbus and steering wheel interface was incredible. pure chinese magic.
@@StandardAmeriCan1 it sounds great, i mostly used the eq to get a 10+db boost because they are cheaper than amplifiers. even the subwoofer out on the radio sounds pretty good without an eq.
Yea. And theres a volume button on the steering wheel and the screen. And when youre adjusting the volume you can actually clock on the bar and slide it. I can say I prefer a knob
My 2014 Ford focus has really loud ear bursting pops and static, it’s so loud and random I’m driving down the road and almost have a heart attack, My mechanic thought he’d fix the problem with a battery cable sensor but it’s only worse nowI can’t drive it, my mechanic said it should be a recall and to have to fight with Ford, i’m afraid of dealing with the dealership on this.what is your advice, is it just a radio replacement?
