My husband just purchased a 2006 Focus ZX5
It has the standard stock deck
Can anyone recommend a good replacement which has built-in bluetooth features? I'm hoping to surprise him with this as a Christmas gift.
I'm sure many of you here prefer to be the one to pick out your own car audio, but my husband would be happy with this gift.
He listens to his music through his iphone 3 and so does not really care if it plays mp3.
Sorry if it sounds dumb, but if the new deck is smaller, will the rest of the space be finished with a flat surface? Can this all be done at Best Buy or Future Shop or what do you recommend?
Thanks everyone!
Hi and welcome ... there are a lot of variables to take into account and it's hard to know what your husband might appreciate ... but I think you would find a shopping tool like the interactive one on Crutchfield to be helpful ... it starts with you identifying the vehicle and then it shows you only those items that would fit.
The size of the opening in the 05+ Focus is called "double DIN" ... but there are adaptors available that allow smaller units to be installed ... usually the extra space is a small pocket.
Good luck with your search ... and do let us know how it's going.
Cheers - Ken
