Prior to completing this guide, refer to the troubleshooting link at the bottom of the introduction and if issues still occur, continue with this guide.

The Ford Focus SE is an automatic hatchback car produced in 2013. The stereo component is used for blue-tooth connectivity that allows music and phone operations from an external device. The stereo also has a built in CD compartment to play music.

The stereo component of the car would sometimes produce loud pops or static noise from the speakers on the door panels. If your Ford Focus SE stereo is producing loud static noises or is not working properly, this guide will show you how to replace the stereo in the car without having to go to a mechanic or dealership to install it.

Before starting on this guide make sure the car is completely off the entire time and refer to the links below for assistance outside of this guide.

Great instructions, but the first step for how to remove the cover over the two torques screws is missing. Would really like to know how to remove that cover.
