Ford KA 2006 - Ford KA '06 Bluetooth Radio Installation - Dhillon Chauhan

Hi, I'm looking at replacing the stock head unit in my 06 KA with a newer bluetooth speaker, originally Halfords were going to fit it but I decided I'd be better off giving it a go myself and saving £50. I've bought a fascia kit with all the relevant bits and pieces. I've watched a video on how to do it so I feel relatively comfortable doing it, just wondering if I'd need the radio code at any point and if so what I'd do with it? I haven't been a car owner for long so I'm quite inexperienced with anything technical.

As far as I'm aware I have to
1) Remove current unit
2) Fit current unit with new fascia, and harness adaptors
3) ???

I appreciate any help which someone can offer me.

If you are removing the existing Ford radio ,and replacing it with something non Ford ,then you don't need any radio code. You will only need a code if you re-fit the original radio at any time. As for Bluetooth radio systems, Alpine are probably one of the best makes.
