Din Size - ThraxXx - 12-10-2004
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.

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.
