The meaning of focus is the focus, which is one of the housekeeping models of Ford in Europe. Compared with those which has evolved four to five generations, Fox is apparently a junior and was born in 1998. The development nowadays is the second generation. Now, the main vehicle of this Ford in Europe has been settled in China and became the focus of much attention.

This Fox hatchback 2.0MT sports model is equipped with single-disc CD + radio, but without DVD and navigation function.

Owners need to install DVD and navigation functions for their beloved cars. After some searching, comparison, owners choose the OemCarGps E7012NAVI focus dvd navigation for the future upgrade.

The OemCarGps E7012NAVI developed specifically for the Ford Focus, a multimedia navigation machine, which is specially designed according to the appearance of the original car center console. It can support DVD/VCD/MP3 playing and feature built-in GPS navigation, full-featured touch screen operation. Its biggest feature is the 800×480 resolution high-definition digital display. The display quality has higher definition than ordinary analog display (resolution 480×234), brighter colors and faster refresh rate.

The OemCarGps user interface is very beautiful and there are many user-friendly features, including the Ipod access, reversing camera. You can add MP3, MP4, the performance of which is excellent. So once it is launched on the market, that is the concern of many owners.

This is a modified effect. OemCarGps products are car-specific modification, after the replacement, it is basically consistent with the original car interior style. But the process is very good and it reflects factory production and R & D capabilities.
