Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my 2016 Ford Focus?

This fascia is designed for Ford Focus 2015-2018 models with Dash 1 configuration. You must verify your Focus has Dash 1 dash type before purchase. Contact us with your vehicle details for dash configuration confirmation if you're unsure.

What does "the knob will not function" mean?

The fascia includes a physical control knob. When paired with Pioneer or Kenwood head units, this knob will not be functional—it's cosmetic only. All other features (camera, steering wheel controls, Bluetooth) work normally. Alpine and Nakamichi head units are not affected by this limitation.

Does this work for 2012-2014 Focus with Dash 2?

Yes, this fascia is compatible with Focus 2012-2014 models with either Dash 1 OR Dash 2 configurations. However, Focus 2015-2018 must have Dash 1 configuration specifically. Verify your dash type before purchase.

Will my factory reverse camera still work?

Yes, the kit includes a factory reverse camera retention adapter. Your existing reversing camera will continue working through the new head unit, maintaining parking safety functionality for urban driving environments.

Can I still use my Bluetooth button after installation?

Yes, the included steering wheel control harness specifically retains the Bluetooth button functionality. When paired with a compatible head unit, you'll maintain hands-free calling control directly from your steering wheel buttons.
