Need Help Fitting a Stereo!

[jami3rez]

I'm fitting a car stereo for the first time and am in need of a little assistance so I don't have to pay Halfords' silly prices.

I'm working with a Ford Focus 2008 and am fitting a Sony XAV-AX1000.

I have a new fascia and cables but the cage supplied with the stereo is too small to fit into the space left by the stock stereo I've removed which had been screwed into the dash in each corner with no additional extra bits. The manual implies I should bend clips on the supplied cage to fit it in place, but I have nothing to bend them into. What do I actually need to get to fill this space?

This is the cage supplied with the stereo.

There is probably a specific 3rd party cage/facia that you need for that car.

You'll need something like this: https://connects2.com/Product/ProductItem/CTKFD25

Is that available for a non-oval set-up? I can't seem to see one scrolling through eBay.
