Thanks for the video! Although I've been installing stereos as a hobby since the days when minitrucks and Daytons were a thing, I've never installed an LC2i before. I just ordered one last night and was hoping for just a general purpose video with tips and tricks, that sort of thing, so imagine my surprise when the first LC2i video I find is for my car, the Mk3 Focus! Nice job too, that wiring job is cleaner than some of the "pro shop" jobs I've had to fix for friends over the years.

to be honest the MFT and Sync has grown on me I have come to really like it. Also the sony stereo does put out a better signal than the basic stereo. So when I drive in both of my cars, they have almost identical setups, the sony one still sounds better. I promise buy a 2014-15 ST3 and you will be very happy.

@FatGuyBuilds

Devotion O'Connor don't go over 75% because distortion rises very quickly above that. distortion kills speakers. the LC2 works 2 fold... 1= give you a remote out since the car does not have an ACC line. 2= puts out 8 times more input voltage to the amp than a shitty 20$ pre-amp converter. this allows you to keep the gain low on your amp and get the same power output from your amp. LC2i is very cheap when you consider the sound quality you will get in the end. if you cant scrape together 85$ then you should not be upgrading anything.

Great video, but a few questions. You only need one LOC? i have lc2i, but everyone locally is saying i need more than one. one for front, one for rear, one for sub channel..you only have one. you just hook the loc to the 4 front speaker wires, run it to the back. run rca from teh loc to the amp.. and then run amp speakers back to HU. basically the gist of it? when you ran the 16 speaker cables back to the stereo, is that just because that is where you are tying in to the existing cables since they are all there? they don't have to be plugged into the head unit since they are getting their signal from the amp now...right? just easier than running wires all over the car to splice into the speakers...

Great informative video, great job! I just bought the 2012 Focus in March. Now have over 64K miles, so no longer warranty. The radio does this loud popping and status noise, then sound completely cuts out. Turning car off and back on seems to reset it. Sometimes it will work fine for days, then cut out like that several times in a day. Found a LOT of other comments on a ford forum about Focus and Fiesta having these issues. Seems common trouble and comments talk about having to have dealerships replace the whole radio unit for over $700! Does your upgrade solve these issues? Does it make any difference if you also have volume controls on the steering wheel? What about just replacing speakers or the whole radio unit? There's comments about having to have Ford dealers reprogram a sync, but my model doesn't have sync or bluetooth. Any advice greatly appreciated!

+Dakota Russell no and ur car wiring doesn't support that swap. tooo much to add into the car. IMO it is a waste of time and money.

Hey Jason. Im about to do this in my '13 focus. Can I use speaker wire and run it back to the LOC like you did? I want to run the front two speakers through the LOC and into my amp to use for my subwoofer. What do I do with the factory wires that run to the front speakers?

+Tony Palomar Please look at my 3 part video series on the ST install. you can get a good Idea from those videos. But I would help you out if you are in ABQ, NM. It improves sound quality and overall performance.

Hey quick question, for some reason, in my country ford only sell the ST in 1 way,that's fully loaded except for the touch screen (and it's respective dash) can I buy from the US the screen and dash and install it? Btw keep it up with the vids, they are really good and we'll illustrated!!

I believe you probably could buy it from ford. But the sony touch screen is tied into all kids of systems in the car. I would stick with what you have and buy and audiocontrol LC6i.

bro can you help me? I have a 2012 ford focus SE. I bought the metra dash kit with the harness and a touch screen aftermarket 2 din touch screen. I hooked up the wires according to instructions and the dang thing won't even power up :/

you have to wire up a remote wire. the stock system uses CAN communication so there is no ACC line.

Possible to install a 2018 focus Sony stereo in 2016 focus with base stereo?

no since you will be missing lots of wiring and a stock amp. might as well just run a audiocontrol LCQ-1 with a nice 5 channel.

I am currently adding an amp to my focus. The amp accepts high level inputs so i was going to run 4 pairs back to amp for input and 4 pairs back to behind head unit for output. I got to thinking as this is a shitload of wire. I already went down left side of car with 4 gauge wire for amp and it had just enough room in channel for it. I plan to go down other side of car with speaker wire. Did you have to run yours under carpet as I know all this speaker wire wont fit in that channel. I was planning on 14 gauge but have since decided I will have to go with 16. Also you mentioned full range is only on front speakers. Now i am wondering if my amp will be able to process the full range for sub output. I know only low frequency is needed but now wonder if amp will process from all channels or only back or front.

front woofer and rear woofer are both full range. all the wire fit, no problem. just buy some of that 9 wire bundle for the source signal. then use normal thicker wire for the output of the amp.

Thanks for response Jason. I had to order some more wire from amazon. Hope to get this done this weekend.

2 guys in Australia have a MOD Car show they did a AIR KIT test and said those AIR KITS are bogus. There is a reason you should use factory air filters. If you can find there channel check it out. Even the Dyno showed no increase in horsepower, the factory air filter did much better.

wrong they did it on a TurboCharged car. So YEA obviously the kit is bogus since a Turbo heats the air before it hits the engine. Something that I cannot believe they overlooked. However they have a habit of basically "debunking" an easy mod, perhaps because shops like theirs dont make money off of someone doing their own mods
