Just fitted a Kenwood KDC-W4737U to my Focus.

Items Purchased;

Kenwood KDC-W4737U (BNIB) : £101.98
Halfords Aerial Adaptor : £3.99
Autoleads Focus Fasica (Black) : £4.24
Autoleads Kenwood Patch Lead + Adaptor Box : £27.49

Total price; £137.70

Fitted all myself so no fitting fee's, hopefully will get around £60+ for my Ford 6000CD Unit which this head unit replaced.

Install went well a tad fiddly, just spaghetti city with all the wiring loom, picked up the Autoleads adaptor box as well to retain my steering controls. Also wired through the Ipod cable through to the glove box. Only downside of the install was that I realised I needed an ISO to a standard connection half way through, so I fitted up the unit and had a run down to Halfords £3.99 later and a quick re fit the unit was operational and working all fine :). Sound quality has improved without a doubt and the unit looks really professional and solid for the price I paid. I know a few others were looking at this head unit so I thought I'd give a little insight. I'm still learning all the controls so will offer a more updated review once I've had chance to have a play about with it :).

Isn't that fascia upside down? Thought the blank plate was usually meant to be under the head unit :P

Not that it matters I guess. Looks nice anyway, good work :)
 
Don't they make a replacement panel which has a single DIN size cut out? That would look the best imo.

Yes this is the one I was talking about. :). To be fair the blanking plate doesnt look too bad but I agree the one with the single din cut out would be a tad useful.
 
Just got my new single din fascia this morning fitted it just now. Looks much better. Wish I had saved my self the trouble and got this one in the first place!. Ah well :).

I'm gonna change my fascia adapter to that one. Looks a whole lot better than the one you get from halfrauds.

I fitted a Sony headunit last month along with a Fli Trap 12 sub.

Sounds awesome now! :D
