Thanks for this video. You have helped me in a number of areas. Radio being installed this week. Anyone else still doing this, I found if you use a cut coat hanger and insert the cut ends into the four holes this acts like the special tool.

I do not own one, but where I work there is a Focus in the fleet, 5+ years old with 90k+ miles and it is relatively trouble free. Every knucklehead that can draw a key drives it. I find it to be a cheapened version of an Escort, to make it affordable. Perhaps someday I will have to own one, when Escorts are no longer available. Thanks for posting your vid.

Okay. This worked well. I got the old radio out. I'm replacing with OEM model. How do I line up the heater control so the settings on the knob (cold/hot) mesh up? I have a copper notch...near/under the gear and someone marked out a yellow mark on the white gear itself. It's the only thing I want to do right the first time- I don't want to snap the plastic mount.

Thank you for the informative video. I was able to install my Bluetooth stereo yesterday. I got everything working, but I have a slight problem. The heater control cable won't lock back into place under the dash. It just slides in on the white "rod" and it is lose and not firmly connected. Therefore it can just slide back out any time. I really cannot figure out how to fix this. I'm not sure if the clips that secure the cable were broken when I took the cable off or if something else is going on. And the video doesn't have a very clear picture of the cable and I cannot really examine what it is supposed to look like compared to mine. I have scoured the internet for information about connecting the cable and I cannot find any info. Please help me out, you may be the only one who can, and I would appreciate it immensely.
