Is there any way to replace a factory stereo and still use the steering
wheel controls in a 2003 Focus SVT?

Probably, write to info@de-codes.co.uk at Alcester Auto Electronics
they should have plenty of car units with a matching adapter to make Your
steering column control work.

Check out the SVT Focus section at the SVT Owner's Association website
at http://www.svtownersassociation.com/svtoaforums/.  I believe I've
seen message threads there on that subject.  I sort of remember it
being possible but only on a limited number of aftermarket radios and
using a pricey and hard to find adapter.

Good luck from another SVT Focus owner.

Nope, none at all.  Mines an '04 build date of 1/28/04, arrived at
dealer 2/13/04 and I drove it home 2/14/04.  I have seen postings on
the SVTOA forums that SVT has finally come up with a fix for the '02,
'03 and early '04 clutch problems.  According to people who say they
have had it done the fix works.  They stated that the part numbers on
the service reports indicate SVT is using '04 clutch parts to fix the
problem.  The reason some 04's also had the problem was that
apparently the early production 04's had the same clutch parts as the
'02 and '03 models.  Then somewhere down the line they started using
the updated parts on the '04 builds and once that proved to fix the
problem they started using those parts to fix the earlier cars.
