I have a 2011 fieast and the steering wheel buttons don't work anymore and the voice button on the indicator don't work either. Is there a simple solution to fix this or do I have to take it to a dealer to fix? Any help would be great.
Maybe you could help me with identifying the problem with my head unit. My fiesta has 8A6T-18C815-BK and it wasn't fitted with aux/bt by default. I installed analog of sot 938 from AliExpress but it doesn't work (like at all). Probably the head unit needs some kind of software update but i cant find anything in the web.
My mk7 fiesta doesn't have Bluetooth so I would like to change the stereo to one that does. I have a menu screen on my car where I can change things like, activate powerfold mirrors, indicator behaviour and other options. If I replace the stereo, would I lose these features?
Question: before I attempt to take out my stereo, I have a problem with the AUX lead input: I have tried two stereo small jack to jack leads and each time the sound is reversed, ie. left channel in the right speaker and right channel in left speaker. I find this very annoying. I have taken out the AUX input to check and it is a closed lead, so I cant reverse the channels from there. Is the input in the back of the stereo the same (a closed plastic unit) or does it split into 2 wires so I can change them? I couldn't see the AUX input there on your stereo.
Not sure if you can help but I’m fitting a Kenwood stereo into my fiesta and I need the right harness but they all look the same and don’t fit my car any help where I can find the correct adaptor at all
I was wondering how to do this, because my girlfriend bought me a stereo on my other car so obviously i want to transfer the stereo into my new fezza :) cheers 👍
I see that this radio module only has 2 plugs but i also see many videos of radio modules that only 1 bigger plug from the same model Fiesta (mk7) Can anyone tell wich Fiestas have that one plug radio module and wich Fiestas got the 2 plug module??
Really good little video! Just wondering if anyone knows? We have a fiesta 2009 but want a sat nav built in? Or even a Bluetooth stereo unit with dab? Is this possible? Could I get a newer ford stereo and put it in? She's got a zetec so basic ford stereo without Bluetooth
I have a 2013 Fiesta S and my dash trim has a slightly different shape with a passenger airbag indicator below the hazard switch. Are they not all the same 2008+?
hei, in 2013 they changed a few things, like the new system SYNC, on the Fiesta but its still the MK7, so when you got a Fiesta from 2013 or past, its different to the Fiesta of 2008.
@@stevehannigan3498 Yes, just needs the Ford alignment diagram or whatever is inside removing. Seen lots of them with coins inside from kids posting them in the slot.
@@stevehannigan3498 If you have already purchased the new radio you will need to find a place that is insured to work on electronics that they didn’t supply. If you still need to buy the radio the. No problem because places like Halfords will supply and fit. Most places don’t want to touch radios bought from elsewhere incase the owner try’s to scam them saying the company broke the radio.
Do you have the link for the SOT-938 kit. My car doesn’t have Bluetooth but I’ve upgraded to a later fiesta radio and it needs the adapter leads for the Bluetooth to work. It’s a 2010 mk7 fiesta
Sure most places such as Amazon,Ebay or larger car shops should be able to supply the cable. Example - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FIESTA-2008-T-HARNESS-WIRING-MUTE-PARROT-BLUETOOTH-ISO-LEAD-LOOM-SOT-938/280767422534?hash=item415f0ae046:g:rzkAAOSwnlFadcAn
Hi I am looking to retro fit an internal bluetooth PCB for music and hands free. This will require me splicing into steering wheel control wiring.. Do you have any info on wiring colours for steering wheel controls? and aux in behind head unit?
@@PJsprojects many thanks ,, things have moved on a bit now ,, seems head unit has given up , power reset didn't work , so need to source a used unit before I can start on Bluetooth project😒. Thanks anyway
Hi my wife's fiesta 2013 doesn't have phone or bluetooth I can buy the stereo with sat nav and phone of Ebay what would I need to upgrade I've also seen the steering wheel button's too can it be done?
Thank you for your video, i have a problem with my radio, there is power on the radio screen but i cannot switch on my radion, if i press the on buttom nothing happen, please advise what could be the problem
That’s quite simple actually. Just disconnect the battery for 15 minutes and it’ll work again. It’s also possible to pull out the designated fuse, but because it’s TH-cam and I can’t post pictures here it’s quite hard to show you which ones you’ll need to pull. Can you guys let me know if it’s worked for you?
On this model your best to take a switched live from the cars fuse box because what can appear to be a simple switched live could just be on a timer before cutting power.
Yes you would need a kit along the lines of this one. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Connects2-Ford-Fiesta-Mk7-2012-on-Double-Din-Stereo-Fitting-Kit-Black-Grey/232264390031?hash=item361409558f:g:YV8AAOSwB-1YwCeu
Thanks for the video! I clearly understand how to remove my radio now!
Just changed my stereo following your instructions, thank you 😀😀😀
Really helpful and clear instructions, thank you, good sir 🙏🏻

Greetings from Germany/Hamburg :)

Thans you bro.. Thats a good information.... Good luck. 👍

Precisely explained Thank you
Thanks for the video, managed to replace my radio. The tool came in handy 👍
Awesome. Really helped. Thank you.
nice clear video thanks
Any idea where the flux capacitor is??
Been trying to change mine for months
If you look to the left past the ludicrous speed handle it's normally just behind the radar jammer.🙂
Hi could you fit an aftermarket double din stereo to this model/year fiesta? If so, how?
Check out Connects2, I was able to buy a full kit with the right fascia plate and adapters etc, came with everything I needed
Would you know the adapter for a 2015 fiesta if i wanted to connect it to a sony sat nav stereo
Did you find out how to do this???
I have a 2011 fieast and the steering wheel buttons don't work anymore and the voice button on the indicator don't work either. Is there a simple solution to fix this or do I have to take it to a dealer to fix? Any help would be great.
Hi do you perhaps know what cable is the ground cable on the radio as mine has abit of a alternator sound im trying to fix
Let me ask you this, I have a 2013 with sync. I cant seem to find any threads or a kit to replace the unit. Is there nothing available?
How do you go about removing the hazard switch to transfer over to new stereo

Can't believe that the cable at 5:40 is making bad contact.. is that possible??
It's possible if either the pins inside are bent or the connector is not pushed on properly.

My little boy posted a 50p in the CD player in my Ford Fiesta. If I follow your instructions would it be easy to remove the coin ?
That's a very common thing lol. Yes but you might have to pop the lid off the radio to top it out.
@@PJsprojects cheers 👍
Which hands free kit did you install. Please could I have link?
Hey bud, know an old video, but what specifics do you need to replace a radio? As in size etc. Trying find ones to fit the dash but not sure to search
Radios only come in two sizes, single din and double din.
For an easy life ask your retailer about single din radios.
@@PJsprojects OK, so it's more important to find a bit that fits the dash rather than worrying about the radio size?
How do u make the radio hands free mate do u just put that SOT - 938 in and then it works or is there something else 👍🏻
You either buy a radio with Bluetooth hands free or add something like a Parrot hands free kit.
Consult a retailer for prices and current models.👍🏻
I see that this radio module only has 2 plugs but i also see many videos of radio modules that only 1 bigger plug from the same model Fiesta (mk7)
Can anyone tell wich Fiestas have that one plug radio module and wich Fiestas got the 2 plug module??
Where is the DSP located or is it inside the head unit?
i have a stuck CD on the CD player is that the proper way to disasembly and try to remove it manualy? any other way? thanks

I don't think you can put in a different ford stereo without replacing a lot of the wiring, from what I've read and enquired.
Hi just seen your video very useful 👌 would you know if the radio panel is coded or not ? Thanks
Not coded.
