Hi All,
Pulling my Factory Head Unit out and replacing it with another OEM item gave me the idea of a "How To." Hope it helps. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...&postcount=123 Cheers and thanks to RobJunior for assisting. GK

How to pull out head unit..
Get a big hammer. Hit it lots till its broke. With two hands on broken headunit, and feet on the dash, pull as hard as you can. When this doesnt work, take it to autobarn. I think i like your way better.

I did this during the week to get the dash out. Ended up ripping off the face so I could see the clips that the pins are meant to push. Oh well, lucky I had another headdeck sitting next to me.
