Scosche FD6200B Double DIN Dash Kit - Compatible with 2012-Up Ford Focus, Non-Nav Models (Black) Review

This dash kit is far from perfect, very close, but in a way it is close. This is a very reasonable price considering I could pay $200-$400 for a similar product. I have a 2013 Ford Focus SE sedan and according to the factory market the radio failed within a year of ownership. I was struggling to replace and upgrade my $300 budget stereo. Including this dash kit along with other expenses gets me about $350 so overall not too bad. The dashboard fits in my car with no problems. My biggest…

First, it looks a heck of a lot better than the Metra kit. This alone is the main reason to buy this Metra offering. But it's not perfect either.

The Metra kit was recommended to me, but I'm glad I researched and found it because it looks so much better and doesn't have…

Much, much better than the Metra Dashboard Kit. First ordered and sent back because it was so ugly. This kit is way better, just one (big) complaint: it leaves a small OEM screen in place at the top! However, this is the focus for a two-DIN radio, which makes it an aftermarket. To keep control of the steering wheel etc you need an interface like the Maestro RR. Maestro needed a plug from a standard small screen to a Kenwood touchscreen head unit, so I was left with a dead screen! Why leave it…
