2004 Mondeo Stereo Removal

[jon200]

Hi,

Could someone point me in the direction of the correct tool i need to remove the stereo in my 2004 Mondeo. I've seen two types, one set of long thin rods and one set with a circle part on the end.

Also, could anyone edvise on the correct way to remove the stereo.

As you can tell, i am a complete novice on these things.

Thanks

which removal keys you require depends on which radio you have in your car, eBay will be the cheapest place to get some, the following may help.

i belive the thin strips at ever corner is your way in. obviously ford would kindly take your money in exchange for 4 thin bits of metal. but theres always ways around this. if you find 4 strips of metal/plastic etc alittle bit smaller than the size of the holes then you may have a chance to remove it. make sure the strips are of about 5 inches in lenght so you can still grip them and they should release the clips holding the sterio in. once these are in place the sterio should just slide out. it is very simple its just finding the right tools for the job.

yes it the thin strips in the corners, the proper tool are like this.

IF THE RADIO HAS 4 SLOTTS THEN THE HANDED ONES WITH THE LOOP ON THE END IS THE ONES U NEED THEY FIT BOTH THE FORD AND SONY SYSTEMS AS LONG AS IT HAS 4 SLOTS HOPE THIS HELPS
