Default How to remove Stereo for 2009 "Facelift" FOCUS

Can anyone help please?

I have a 2009 Ford Focus, which is the Facelift edition. It has the stereo in it which is not square, but trapezoidal in shape or something.

I am replacing it with a touch screen unit which is specifically made to fit the odd shape opening.

It is my wife's car and only done 4000km still - so still new and I don't want to snap something or crack something, so hoping someone can help!

I cannot find anything on the net with the same stereo as mine - they are all the rectangular ones.

Got on to it from alibaba.com and had great service, and the unit looks awesome. Will do EVERYTHING

Check it out on http://www.witson.com/en/displayprod...roID=100440675
