Ford Fiesta CarPlay installation, generation by generation.

Not on the 4.2-inch SYNC 1 display, which has no CarPlay in its software and no video input. The route on 2013–2017 cars is a Fiesta-specific 9-inch Android screen in place of SYNC 1 and its button block: wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB, a camera input, and the steering buttons kept. Mk8 cars from 2017 have CarPlay on SYNC 3 from the factory.

SYNC 3 in the Mk8 runs CarPlay and Android Auto over the USB lead, and that includes the 2022 facelift. We fit a wireless adapter that plugs into the same USB port and pairs with your phone, so it connects on its own when you get in. Base Style cars with the 4.2-inch radio have no SYNC 3, so they take the Android screen route instead.

It depends on the generation. Mk6 (2002–2008): from €290; Mk7 (2008–2012): from €290; Mk7.5 (2013–2017): from €290; Mk8 (2017–2023): from €250. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.

Mk6, built 2002–2008 (6000CD radio, or the Sony six-disc unit on top trims; no screen): Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in the 6000CD position on a double-DIN fascia. Mk7, built 2008–2012 (6000CD radio or the Sony CD unit with the button-heavy centre stack; Bluetooth voice control optional, no screen): 9-inch Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto replaces the 6000CD or Sony unit and its button block on a matching fascia. Mk7.5, built 2013–2017 (SYNC 1 with a 4.2-inch display and AppLink on most cars, or the Sony DAB radio with the same display; no touchscreen and no CarPlay): The 4.2-inch SYNC 1 unit cannot take CarPlay, so we fit the 9-inch Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, keeping the steering buttons and USB port. Mk8, built 2017–2023 (SYNC 3 with a 6.5 or 8-inch touchscreen and CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory; base cars have a DAB radio with a 4.2-inch display): Factory CarPlay and Android Auto on SYNC 3 cars, with a wireless adapter added; base cars with the 4.2-inch radio get the Android screen instead.

Mk6: two to three hours; Mk7: two to three hours; Mk7.5: two to three hours; Mk8: two to three hours. You can wait at the workshop or drop the Fiesta in the morning and collect it the same day.

Mk6: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. Mk7: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. Mk7.5: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. Mk8: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept.

Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (Mk6, Mk7, Mk7.5 and Mk8) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
