Correct, it is a 1.5din, but the good news is that a double-din will fit with minor modification. (there are a few tutorials here, just use the search function).

Just note that it is a tight fit. If you plan on getting a double-din that has a moving face, it may not work.

Alright thanks for the help

1.5 din aftermarket head units went the way of the dodo bird 7-8 years ago. Just not enough market for a unit that's exactly the same as it's single din counterpart, which can be installed in the same place.

Not sure what you mean by exactly the same as a single-din counterpart.. The 1.5 din is much closer to the double-din in dimensions.

Same in terms of features. The aftermarket 1.5din units were just like the single dins in a larger chassis. None of them had touchscreen, DVD playback, etc.

Ford's version of 1.5din is different:

I think you might be missing the point I was making. I simply said aftermarket manufacturers quit making 1.5din head units because there wasn't a large market for them. And for what market there was, those folks could just use the equivalent single din head unit and not really sacrifice anything in terms of features/usability. My comment wasn't Focus specific. OP can cram whatever he'd like in there.
