I tried all the tricks to get the ENS# displayed and the option in the display still has Sirius dimmed. With fingers crossed, the unit worked, but when pressing the Sirius button, the displays states 'Sirius not equipped, contact your dealer' I actually laughed my xxx-off. The wiring harness is plug and play and I used the faceplate with the Sirius button. So I have an extra roof mount satellite antenna which plugged right into the 2nd antenna input in the A203. Conclusion is ford must have 2 antenna models or, they split the 1 satellite input (perhaps with the assumed Sirius module) Sure enough, there was only 1 satellite wire coming out. So, I checked the wiring out of the actual antenna, simply pull away the rubber gasket (hatchback)and take a peek. I looked everywhere and could not find a 2nd. In removing the A302 in my car and inspecting the wiring harness, there is only 1 satellite antenna input. I could never find the actual A203 part number but I believe I have one from an SE, faceplate has Sirius Button and the actual radio has two satellite antenna inputs (see pic) unlike the A302 which has one. I called around, searched etc and found a auto dismantler that had a what I believe is a A203 radio and faceplate, cost $200. So, I thought, heck, why not just look for a A203 radio. Both of the A302 and A203 have Sync by the way. In my research, it seems that the A203 Radio is the only option available with built in satellite which was offered in the Focus SE models. So the 302A model does not have satellite radio and the SEL faceplate does not include the Sirius button (I has a AUX, button).

So I took a different approach to finding an option.

I was informed by the dealer as well that a module (which seems to have no part#) was available for $700 plus installation. I'm a new member and like many of you have been pretty frustrated with Fords poor upgrade option, lack of information (even at the dealer) and cost for getting Sirius activated in the SEL models. You can pick the radios up off ebay pretty cheap i gave $30.00 shipped for mine

so i looked at both radios side by side and sure enough there the same other than the 2010 has a esn # on it under the serial number and my stock 08 didnt.Īnyways when i installed it i used my little sirius radio antenna that just sticks to roof by magenet but i did have to go to salvage yard and get just the end for the antenna plug i spliced it into my antenna and it works fine. heres what i did i went to ebay and bought another stock radio out of a 2010 focus got it installed and walla i now have siruis.įord dealer said that 09 to 2011 came with the reciever built into the radio.

so after alot of call and questions i was told that i had to have the reciever and to see if it was installed in trunk on drivers side behind the carpet in fenderwell. I have a 08 focus that had stock radio with the sirius button but when i pressed that button the display would say no sat radio. Granted the 2012 just hit the streets but does anyone have any idea whether it is as simple as installing a radio module or how Ford is dealing with this? The vehicle interface is ready it is missing the Sirius radio.

I am thinking that its just a little module under the dash that could be ordered from the parts department.NOT! They didnt have any visibility on the part in question and made a call to some Ford folks who didnt either. The car has everything except Navigation, MFT and the system that helps you parallel park. We then consulted the almighty options list and Sirius was missing. He ran through the in-dash menu and Sirius was there but subdued like it could not be selected.

The SEL has all of the features we were looking for except when the salesman got in the car to run through his checklist and pushed on the Sirius button nothing happened. The only thing it seemed to be missing was the MFT (my ford touch) and Titanium package but we didnt want to pay an extra couple grand when we were after fuel mileage. We just purchased a beautiful 2012 SEL in Tuxedo black with stone leather.
