Hey All,

A co-worker here has a 2004 Focus SE 4 door sedan. I was looking at his car and noticed that the stock Stereo looks to be a double DIN in size.

Is there a kit that one can buy to convert the double DIN into a single DIN...or maybe 2 single DIN. Any advice would be greatly apreciated.

Yep, any big stereo shop should have em in stock.

I prefer the AI kit.

Futureshop/bestbuy sells the faceplate kit that will fit a standard din size radio in the focus. Oh P.S. the factory radio is not double din, its more like 1.8 din.

Could just get it custom made.

Its not double din. When I ordered my ignited mounting plate, I ordered the full din size and it was too big. :(

You can get DIN removal tools at most places for a few bucks, Walmart has them with their car stereo stuff. It's just a bit of wire that fits into the 4 holes and releases the clips holding the stereo in.

You can do it easily with a cut up coat hanger, or pick them up from walmart for around $6.
