- 1). Lift the hood of the Ford to disconnect the battery cable. The grounding cable should be disconnected from the battery before removing or installing any component connected to the vehicle's electrical system. Loosen the bolt that pinches the negative battery clamp to the negative battery lead post with a 10 mm socket wrench. Lift the cable from the battery terminal and rest it to the side of the battery.
- 2). Slide the prongs of the Ford DIN removal keys into the holes on either side of the stereo's face. Push each tool into its respective opening until it locks into place.
- 3). Pull outward on each key (right tool to the right, left tool to the left) while sliding the CD player from the Ford's dashboard stereo dock. Pull the unit far enough from the dash to access the wiring connections to the rear of the deck.
- 4). Squeeze the white plastic wire connectors to release the locking mechanism on each of the two connectors. Unplug the wiring connectors from the outlets on the back of the stock stereo.
- 5). Unplug the antenna cable from the outlet on the lower-right corner of the CD player's rear panel.
