very little response on the focus forum so try here

ive provisionally bought a HU from a member on there but the cd player doesnt come with a cage.

I wasnt made aware of this originally but the member, fair play has been very cooperative and offered to knock some money off agreed price.

I am just wondering can you live without the cage? Or should i get one?

ive had a look only briefly on ebay and it doesnt seem a great part to get hold of as a replacement.

HU is a pioneer if that helps. Any places where to get one if needs be?

the HU cage holds the HU in place, stopping it from moving around, I aren't sure if your car already has one or not but you may be ok, wait till it turns up or try taking the current stereo out tempuarily to see if it has a cage!

yeah you need a cage,else the HU will be falling out all the time

under a tenner on ebay for a replacement

link for one on ebay because i couldnt find one

i know what a cage does i didnt know if you could get away with it.

My current HU is a 1.8 size din, so the cage if there was a cage there for current unit it wouldnt be any good

cheers for that custard, i couldnt find any last night at all

the second linked one down the model number/name has come up before so that seems to be the 1 to go for

All sorted then!

ebay now defaults to best match which often misses what you want
always select ending soonest or whatever to get proper results

not been on for months, noticed a bit of a change will bear in mind
