Instructions for Removing the Car Radio

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Car stereo

Removing the original car radio is extremely simple: just insert the appropriate extraction keys into the holes located at the corners of the radio; once the keys are inserted, press them fully to release the retaining clips and keep them in the outward open position during extraction. At this point, disconnect the connectors. If you do not have the keys, you can use high-strength wire with a tapered end that fits into the designated hole; it is important to press simultaneously in the holes from the same side.
