Not familiar with the Focus. Have installed amps/subs in Ford Mavericks (mine and my friends). His has the B&O ... but not a Focus...not the UK. Mine is the cheap one.
I would think it would be a pain to tap the amp (you would tap the signal before it reached the factory amp...not after). I contemplated trying to tap the factory amp on my friends Maverick...but noped.
Personally I would see if they make a wiring harness (example) to where you can run the Front R/L wires to a LOC (example). From the LOC your would run your R/L to the aftermarket amp. Your aftermarket amp will need to be wired directly to the 12v battery (with a inline fuse). A ground wire (same gauge) to the chassis. Remote wire would either be audio detect or tap a fuse for 12v detect.
Also...not sure if it's the same way the Focus...but these Mavericks wake to do random BS (like check for updates). If your LOC is set to switch on by audio detect (speaker signal) ... and it's like the Maverick...your amp/sub will power on. I ended up finding a fuse to tap which only switched on when you turned the key (or pushed the start button in his more fancy Maverick).
I would check some Focus forums. I didn't even know they still made them...ha.
What is the relationship, exactly, between Microsoft and 1Pass developers? It looks like Microsoft plan is to embrace, expand and extinguish so that users have no access to anything unless they have access to 1Pass. And we all know Microsoft prefers biometrics over traditional passwords. So, it all just seems a bit shallow to me.
