2014 Fiesta ST, probably same schematics or very close for other models.
I want to see if I can bypass at least the speaker level outputs which I can probably do without the schematics but would be a nice help to have them.
Also looking to go deeper into it but not likely to work out as most use a DSP/DAC in later vehicles I have worked on. If I got lucky, DSP after the DAC.....then get a cleaner signal to work with.....at least no factory goofy EQing.....for the lousy speaker placements, etc.......
I wish more would hire audio engineers and let them actually do their job or at least like the 07 Tundra LTD I had, I spoke with the head engineer at the company that did audio system, they only had so much budget but the speakers were pretty decent and there was a pretty darn good sound stage and tuning. Just adding in an amp made for a very good system but of course it could be better yet but it was a great starting point.
The MyFord system is pretty poor but if I can bypass some of it to make for less processing, reprocessing, etc....as I need to keep the stock HU and do not want a bunch of other stuff in the car, just some EQing, I have an amp with the crossovers, I can dial in the sound stage without TA, at least have in the other cars and trucks I have done over the years, only used a tiny bit of TA once. (stock tweeter locations will not work for sure, stupid placement to say the least)
Thanks
