Installing car stereo in Ford Focus 2006

djt0607 · 2013-05-06 22:02:36

Hi I wish to replace the factory installed stereo in my Ford Focus 2006 with this one: JVC KW-R400. However, I have read that by doing this, the stalk (steering wheel controls) won't work unless an adapter is purchased and installed. Can someone tell me which adapter I need to purchase? Thank you.

This is what comes up for the focus and head unit. I've used this ebay shop a few times with no problems. Just use the pull down menu to select the JVC option for the patch lead. That gives you steering wheel function.
