Ford Focus RS Stereo and Dash Cam Retrofit in Ultimate Green
A Ford Focus RS in Ultimate Green rolled into our workshop last week for a double din stereo upgrade—what a stunning car to work on! 🚗🟢 The project? A full multimedia overhaul featuring the Kenwood 8021DABS for Apple CarPlay, the DRV-N520 dash cam for integrated recording, and a sleek rear-view camera for safer reversing. This Ford Focus RS stereo upgrade was all about blending performance with practicality—and the results speak for themselves.
Ever tapped your steering wheel wondering why your stereo still feels like it’s stuck in 2012? This customer certainly did—and decided it was time to bring their RS’s dash into the modern era. Alongside the new stereo upgrade, we fitted the Kenwood DRV-N520 dash cam, which displays its live feed and recordings directly through the stereo—no app-switching or extra screens required.
What We Installed
- ✔️ Kenwood 8021DABS stereo with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration
- ✔️ DRV-N520 dash cam with direct stereo feed and touchscreen control
- ✔️ Rear-view camera with dynamic guidelines and OEM-style activation
- ✔️ Quick fix: Faulty reversing light replaced while the boot trim was off
Why This Ford Focus RS Stereo Upgrade Stands Out
It’s not just about bolting in a stereo and calling it a day. The Kenwood 8021DABS was precisely mounted using a purpose-built fascia kit, with all wiring integrated through the car’s CANBUS system. Audio quality jumped significantly thanks to advanced EQ settings and time alignment. The dash cam is neatly wired and coded, so it powers on with ignition and records instantly.
Our rear-view camera installation completed the setup. It’s neatly hidden, weatherproof, and wired through the car’s internal trims—not a single wire in sight. It activates immediately when reverse is selected and offers excellent visibility even in dim light.
Comfort While You Wait
This stereo upgrade took just under half a day to complete. While our technicians worked on the RS, the customer relaxed in our waiting area with complimentary hot drinks, Wi-Fi, and a full view into the workshop. For those who prefer to stretch their legs, Higham on the Hill has a few lovely walking routes and local food spots just a few minutes away.
