Replace the stereo/navigator of the Ford Focus if damaged; let's see how to remove it. Remove the plastic cover of the stereo with a plastic lever (where the air vents are located) and detach it from the central dashboard. Unscrew the retaining screws of the dashboard cover.

Once the stereo is free from the covering plastics, unscrew the retaining screws located on its sides with a screwdriver. Pull out the stereo by hand and disconnect the cables (power and antenna).

To install, proceed with fitting the new stereo/navigator.
