Sync 3 upgrade, then use Android Auto or CarPlay :+1:t2: just suggesting that as an alternative

Steelie, if you don’t mind the magnet on the back of your phone. Easily the strongest phone holder magnet I’ve ever used. You put a ball on the dash and the magnet on your phone, and it won’t move.

Upgrade to Sync 3 and leave the phone down

You seem to have Sync 2, so you’d just have to replace your screen and Sync unit, and I think a small adapter cable for the panel. Should be doable for 300-500.

Thank you :slight_smile: A bit pricey for me at the moment, but I’m hoping to have the car for a long time, so it’s something I’ll definitely do in the future!

I would smother an elderly person to have a 6-speed right-hand drive Focus right now.

I live in the US, so we have left-hand drive vehicles. And manual transmissions are getting more scarce every year. So I’d kill to have one like yours, haha.

Oh haha! I won’t lie, I went to the car garage, liked the look of it, and just went for it! It’s only my second car. I absolutely love it though, actually enjoyable to drive!

What year is it? I can’t remember if Europe continued Focus production, but the US stopped after 2018. Is it your first manual?

2016! No, a lot of people here learn manual, although automatic is becoming more popular :slight_smile:
