- How to remove a Ford Mondeo, Ford Focus Stereo Radio system and replace with an aftermarket Xtrons system. Very easy to do. Xtrons system is plug and play. Step by step in real time video. This only takes about 20 minutes to do, but allow yourself plenty of time so that you are careful and don't make mistakes. Remember to remove CDs from your old unit before removal.
Many thanks for quick reply, and thanks for the excellent video.
excellent video? I see only sun reflection on display
Thank you for sharing the video.
The radio in my mondeo mk4 suddenly did not work any longer and my ford workshop would install a "new" 11 year old original ford radio for the great price of 5000 danish krones @ 670 USD. But this radio I can install myself it seems and I can get it for around 530 USD.
You can find Aftermarket Android double Din radio's for Mondeo on ebay from $200
Great video, so good it has prompted me to empty my bank account of $400 :-) my 2008 zetec will be better with this unit installed. Will be great to finally have bluetooth without the aux adapter variant
Such a good video. I didn't even need to do this job but still watched it through! :) Very confidently and competently carried out and videoed!

Will the buttons on my steering wheel work?
Great video. Thanks man!
what is the model of the new radio you inserted ?
Very interesting.... I need to find out if that Mondeo unit is the same size / shape as my 2010 Transit Connect..... Anyone? 👍
Great video and perfect timing watching this video! I'm actually picking up my new car in the morning, with the same stereo! I was considering purchasing the Xtron sat nav. Do you have any videos of the Xtron working and it's functions?
Do you have a video on how to remove the gator and replace
Ive a 2008 mondeo i wanna i stall this how much is the kit
Hi, did you try to install the DAB+ receiver also? And if so, where did you put the antenna?
What is the sound quality like compared to the factory Sony unit? Thanks
guestauto180 sound quality is very good
I'm Looking to buy one of these head units and was wondering what the touch screen feel is like, is it like that smart screen on a tablet or phone or have they used a screen over lay?
My push buttons dont illuminate, why is this? Can u help with that? Its the same as yours but my buttons are not lighting up!
Is the Xtron better percofrmance with soud than Sony?
nice video... would you know how this unit will be effect convers+ system
You will lose the radio functionality but retain the trip computer.
where did you placed GPS? would you give a complete link to that? I hav mondeo key less. Is it different?
Éhsan Azimi mines is keyless to would also like to know if its diffrent
Hey mate, does the GPS work ok with the antenna tucked in behind the unit rather than placed strategically higher in the car? Cheers
I ended up putting the GPS on top of the unit housing and not tucked in behind it. Signal is great.
How is the sound,its better than original Sony?
possible with rear view camera?
Does it support rear view camera?
Hi does the sat nav work.on this one
Hello. can you tell me if installing this radio, I lose the voice command pre-installed in my car? for example the request for a phone call, air conditioning controls etc ,, etc ,,?
Voice command will not work after you install radio.
Anyone know how to change the time and date on this
El problema es que no funcionan los comandos de voz. Si alguien sabe como conectar... gracias.
please can some one advise me about Ford Mondeo can I go for it
Do these units have bluetooth built into them. My Mondeo (2008) radio has the bluetooth phone buttons yet does not have bluetooth.
yes it has Bluetooth built-in
Hi.. im looking to get one of these units for my 2009 Mondeo.. there is no phone connections in my car at the moment.. Is there any paticular unit you would recommend. also how can i find you on ebay?
That would be a Bluetooth module replacement not the stereo itself. Incase you didn't get it sorted.
The Bluetooth modules are known to be faulty sadly
Fits this to Ford s max in year 2006
whats the canbus box that comes with it for. some people say they have issues with it. can it be used without the canbus box.
the canbus box is used so you have control of the unit with the buttons on the steering wheel. volume controls phone etc. If you don't use the canbus you won't have steering wheel controls.
Bevan Bartlett thankyou for reply mate. not 100% sure if to buy the stereo...are they any good.
the one I installed is in my wife's car and working good. No issues.
Bevan Bartlett oh cool. thanks...ill give one a try. thanks again for reply, all the best
do you know how i can do a factory reset ? i got mine second hand on ebay, and just cant get on with it. so want to reset it to sell it on. but it says I need a password and i have no idea what it was
Try 126
where can i get info on the sat nav,i.e is it possible to download the maps?
Download maps from Google play store.
Hi! Thanks for the great video! Do you have the parking sensors on your car, and if, had the new stereo effect on the sound of it? Someone says the sound goes through the head unit...
yes I have parking sensors. The sound doesn't go through the unit. It works and sounds the same as before.
great! Thank you!
Yes his car wasn't affected as the sound has separate sound but ford above 2012 the sound will be affected as the sound will come from the main sound system in this case you need to added canbus from a company called connect2 and part number ctsfo011 to have sound otherwise no way to hear any sound after installing after market android
does the stereo still operate with steering wheel?
He added a canbus box for that to still work. Read through the comments and replies ✌🏼
How is the radio? Is it worth buying the DAB adaptor or does it work ok without it?
Hiya ive installed as instructed on the video, however, there is no power please help!
did you turn the ignition on. also try the power button. hold it in for a few seconds.
Nope 😣 still no life
fuse had blown, reinstalled fuse blew again and still no power so there is power just not going to the radio! any ideas?
if it's connected correctly and blowing fuse then I recommend you contact your supplier for support. sorry I can't help but seems like an issue with your unit. I've had about 30,000 views of this installation and your the first to have blown fuse. where did you purchase it from?
Same! I don't know why the unit won't power up, followed the instructions and this video and still no joy.
android 5.1?
Hans-Car dvd. yes Android 5.1
Hi Are these truly plug and play? I tired installing an after market cd player in my mondeo and was told that i need to run another lead from the fuse box for the ignition live feed. Would i have to do the same for the xtrons?
it is plug and play system. unit works with car running with no additional wiring. if you want to use the unit with the car not running then you need to connect 1 additional wire to the ACC power on your car.
Hi Bevan, Bought one on the weekend (in the UK), just tried to install it, but am getting no power to it when i turn the engine on. Is there anything you can suggest before I pay out for an expert to look?
liam o'brien. only thing I can think of is did you try the power on/off button on the unit.
tried that ( I am guessing it is the left dial?) tried pressing, pressing and holding
OK if that is not working then try contacting the supplier you purchased it from or xtrons.
