Default How do I remove stereo unit?
Before I start crawling under the dashboard, skinning knuckles, spilling blood and breaking bits of plastic; can anyone give me any clues on how to remove the stereo unit (single CD player type) from an '06 LX Focus?
Cheers,
N.R.

You need:

You'll need 2 sets (4 keys in total)

Otherwise if your in Syd I can do it for petrol money.

you need 4 special keys to remove the stereo, u will find there are 2 little slots at the top and bottom which the keys go in and the stereo pops out. I got my stereo done at jb hifi, they had the keys already. i know u can buy them off ebay also

Nice factory audio options they have in the UK.

I'd love to know how much the DVD navigation system with the intergrated A/C controls would set you back.

You mean Bankstown style? You may as well throw in the whole south west. The Shire isn't that shonky

crowbars are too advanced for bankstown, involves too much fiddling around. Pointing a gun gets the job done easier...
