You can reporgram the time, but not the date. You need the arrows and the "ok" button (also on the radio) to reprogram the date. Thats pretty unfortunate. Metra has a kit for the Fiesta that includes all the buttons, but it's butt ugly. Best bet would be custom mounting something else up there where the clock display is using the ACV kit. $$$

Hello Gentlemen,

Im new to the site, and will be purchasing a 2012 Focus soon...
Any updates on getting a double din, aftermarket nav system into the dash?

Cheers

Why you would like to buy aftermarket? You may install OEM navigation.

Part numbers are;

5" Navigation + display unit
AM5T-18B955-DG



Front panel ;
AM5T-18K811-CD
BM51-18835-BE3JA6 (plastic cover)


You will need antenna cabling too but I could not find part number of that. But it is only balanced 120 ohm cable. You may find that all audio markets. No need any other part.
You will also need to find map for navigation. I do not have any idea part number of US version. That would be in SD card.

I wanted to put in aftermarket because it is a lot cheaper to buy base model car, then install the gear you want yourself...

Are you saying I can buy base model, and buy focus navigation and install myself? Save a ton of money...

No, Those are sync display. There are 3 different type navigation system on 2012 focus.
1- Ford navigation 5" screen
2- Sony navigation 5" display
3- Sync (which was you send pic.)

As you seen I send ford navigation units pictures. It is working with OEM headunit, built-in navigation display.

I guess I am confused...

So I sent the sync picture
And I can get the ford / sony navi, stock on which models of the 2012 focus?

Thanks again
