Stoney871 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 This is the modified fascia you need to fit an aftermarket radio- http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=150689655332 What problems exactly are you having taking the old one out?

ManxKat Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 My fester is a 2008 but my stereo still hasn't been replaced as still waiting for the ex-husband to help me out and get me the ford keys to take the radio out. Apparently can't do it without them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxKat Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I did mention that, probably order the wrong ones though knowing me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Is your radio the one with the 4 slots? (1 in each corner?). If so it's these- http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=150680737837 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxKat Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hmmmm I am not sure... mine is a Mk6. It's a Ford 6000 with the big volume button in the middle. Price is waaaay cheap, so seriously annoyed that I have waited almost 4 months for the sake of a few quid!!! Sorry to derail the thread!!

Stoney871 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 This type?

ManxKat Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yep that's my stereo! I have a really good sony stereo that I haven't had very long from my Golf. So I bought the plastic adaptor thing to go in, but obviously I can't do anything until I can get the stereo out! Using the ipod via the aux is doing my head in!

Stoney871 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Righto, To remove the old radio, use the keys in the 4 slots pushed in with the flat parts of the loops inwards, you'll feel them lock into place. To disengage the radio clamps pull the keys slightly inwards towards each other and draw the radio forwards. The keys lock into the clamps so to release then you need to pull the clamps with a nail or screwdriver out of the key notches. Pull out the aerial cable and remove the quadlock connector by presing in the small clip and rotating the large clip out to release the hooks.

ManxKat Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 So my husband has taken 4 months to still not do something you just did in 2 mins? Ha ha thanks Clive. I am gonna do it myself and show him up! So will the keys you linked to before work with this one hun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Indeed they will. I'm always being told I only take 2 minutes to do anything, but that's a story for a different time and place ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxKat Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thanks a million. All ordered! 2 mins is a lot better than 30 seconds so I wouldn't worry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 2 mins is a lot better than 30 seconds so I wouldn't worry! 110 seconds of that is getting my socks off ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxKat Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Well I have just attempted this and failed miserably. Couldn't get the stereo out!! The air is rather blue in my car right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 What was the stumbling block? More advice available if needed hun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxKat Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I just couldn't pull the stereo out! My skinny girlie fingers are so sore from the metal keys :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Once the keys are in fully, just pull towards you while putting outward presure on the keys . You should feel the catches disengage. If it helps try working on the left hand ones and then the right hand ones. The keys can be a bit hard on the fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxKat Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I had to admit defeat and get the ex to do it :( however now I have my sony stereo back and mega happy! Thanks for all the help Clive :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
