The KWFOR2 gives you everything you need for a complete installation in one box. The components of this kit are compatible with the Ford Focus (20112015) with Visteon factory stereos.

FITTING GUIDE
STEREO REMOVAL
- Unclip the small trim panel located directly underneath the main fascia panel. Further, unclip another plastic panel found underneath to uncover 2x Torx screws.
- Remove the 2x Torx screws, and using a panel removal tool, pry away the entire main fascia panel, disconnecting the hazard switch connector in the process.
- Remove the 2x screws that hold the main radio in place and remove it from the dashboard, again, disconnecting all the wiring in the process.
DAB ANTENNA INSTALLATION
-
Open the passenger side door and proceed to pull away from the door trim from the pillar.
-
Using a set of panel removal tools, begin to pry away the pillar casing.
-
The glovebox will need to be dropped down to route the antenna’s wiring. To do this, take off the side panel of the glove box and remove the 1x screw located there. Then open the glove box and undo 2x screws located in the upper lip, and 2x screws located underneath at the far back of the glovebox. Once free, pull the glovebox out and leave it in the footwell. 4. The DAB antenna not only has a self-adhesive backing but also features a black earth sheet. When placing the DAB antenna, the earth sheet MUST be placed onto the metal part of the pillar. The antenna itself must be located roughly 15cm from the top of the windscreen.
Note: This antenna must not be placed atop any kind of heating element, this will interfere with the antenna’s signal. -
Once happy with the placement, take the 3m of wiring extension and feed it down through to the stereo’s opening. With the wiring adjusted to the appropriate length, feel free to re-install the glovebox.
FASCIA PLATE SET-UP
- Once you have taken the main fascia panel off, you will need to transfer the air vents to the new fascia. To do this you will need to disengage the clips of each vent and when free, simply re-locate onto the new fascia.
- Take the new hazard switch that comes with the kit and place it into the new fascia.
- Attach the brackets to either side of the radio. When attached, roughly test fit the radio and bracket combination in relation to the new fascia, doing this, you can best measure whether the brackets need moving forwards/backward.
- After the “Stereo Installation” process is complete and you are re-assembling the vehicle, you will then need to clip the trim frame around the display.
STEREO INSTALLATION
-
Take the steering wheel control interface in hand and connect both the 12-way stereo patch lead and the 14-way steering wheel harness connectors to the corresponding sides.
-
Connect the bullet connector from the stereo patch lead to the `steering wheel remote input’ on the back of the new stereo.
-
Connect the DAB antenna’s SMB connector to the back of the new stereo.
-
Attach the antenna adapter to the vehicle’s pre-existing connection and the back of the new stereo.
STEREO INSTALLATION CONT’D. -
Attach the 4-pin speaker module to the equivalent connector on the steering wheel harness.
-
Attach the red & white RCA connectors from the steering wheel harness to the back of the new stereo.
-
Attach the display connector from the steering wheel harness to the vehicle’s pre-existing display. In turn, connect the vehicle’s display connector to the steering wheel control interface.
-
Attach the additional wiring on the harness to the back of the stereo: Pink – Speed Pulse Green – Park Brake Purple – Reverse Blue – Antenna Remote
-
When all the above wires (and any additional accessories) have been connected, finally make the connections between the stereo and the vehicle’s pre-existing connector.
