Ford Focus (2015-2018) CAN Bus steering wheel audio control interface

Upgrade your Ford Focus (2015–2018 DY8) audio system with confidence using this steering wheel control interface. Built on CAN-Bus technology, this interface ensures seamless integration, allowing you to retain essential functions like steering wheel audio controls, parking sensor chimes, and the vehicle’s time, date, and temperature display. As a result, you stay connected and safe, keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

Beyond control retention, the 29-CTF017 also supports crucial vehicle data outputs such as speed pulse, ignition feed, and navigation-ready signals — making it compatible with sophisticated head unit setups. However, take note: a separate patch lead is required to link the interface with your new head unit. Options include brand-specific leads like 29-CT-007 for Pioneer or a universal lead suitable for many brands.

Installation is designed to be straightforward thanks to its harness that fits directly into the existing vehicle connector. This interface is a smart solution for those wanting to enhance their Ford Focus entertainment system without losing key integrated features.
