Does the Ford Focus (2004/5) play MP3 CDs ?

**SAScooby** · 02-07-2005, 07:17 AM

I got a mate with one of these on order and he is keen to put a pc in, but first wants to know if the factory radio / cd plays mp3 cds ?

Anyone ?

i doubt it, why dont you put a mp3 cd in it to find out

**SAScooby** · 02-07-2005, 07:23 AM

I had an SE as a rental, and it didnt play mp3s. There could be different head units available from the factory though.

It is an option. From Ford's website:
AM/FM single CD/MP3 player with clock, 4 speakers (standard on SE models only)

**sfay93** · 02-07-2005, 09:45 AM

Or:
AM/FM 6-disc in-dash/MP3 player with clock, 4 speakers (NA on S, optional on SE and standard on SES models)

Do you mean the new one just released across Europe???

rather than the 'old focus' (like mine) still on sale in the US (with another face lift)

(UK) Audio Options....

I think its the new one but it could be a facelift, it looks softer, smaller lights, less "EDGE" styling, quite bland actually

Its the turbodiesel if that helps, there is a MP3 shuttle option but he hasnt chosen that as he is keen on the carpc but it will be a while before he gets the carpc going in the car, so he is keen to know about mp3 compatability

Cheers

I will get a pic and post it here soonest
