Just the A-pillar trim. You can gently pull down the headlining enough to get wires inside it. You can remove the glovebox and poke the wires up the A-pillar to the side of the dashboard. .
I bought an extension cable and hard-wired that to the supply, and plugged the adaptor for the dashcam into it, and secured it behind the glovebox. That way I wasn't damaging any of the dashcam-specific components.

Well I ran the cable to the terminals on the cigarette lighter socket which isn't far from the glovebox, and made pretty simple by Ford's often-flimsy approach to trimming 
With the glovebox removed you can just pokes wires down the side of the centre console next to the radio and they'll appear by the cig lighter / cup holder once you've pulled the ashtray section out.

I keep telling myself that the person who did it was dropped on their head at birth and hopefully has a similar dent in their skull.
Depends if you class the Blueflame and Mongoose systems as 'top known'. This one looks a lot like the Blueflame system.
That's the size, yes. The Focals are a direct replacement, but I can't speak for all 5x7s in that regard.
Its a nice easy job and fascia and wiring adapters are plentiful.
I went for a high quality single din alpine unit with Bluetooth and whatnot - the IDE-178bt. I decided against a double din unit as I'd only want one with nav, and they cost £4848299922.
OK so as far as I can tell it's an Autoleads FP-07-07 fascia adaptor, for single-DIN. Wiring adaptor-wise, you'll need an Autoleads PC99-X50 (http://caraudiosecurity.com/vehicle-interface-ford-focus-c-max), and one of the listed patch leads relevant to your head unit manufacturer (PC99-ALP for Alpine units).
This is what works for me, the fascia adaptor looks good and matches the matt plastic of the rest of the centre console, and the wiring adaptor works nicely with the stalk controls.
Hope this helps!

I routed mine down the centre console and clipped it to the little lid that covers the cigarette lighter/ashtray cubby hole. In fairness, it's out of the way and works well. At some point I'll probably wire it through the roof lining into the "factory" microphone location in front of the interior light, but the amount of effort required to do that currently exceeds the quantity of arsed that I have available
