How to Remove a Radio From a Ford Truck
By Nichole Liandi
Ford trucks usually come equipped with a radio in the dashboard. But if you're an audio enthusiast who wants a radio with higher performance, or you want to replace the existing radio with one that has more features, you'll need to remove the existing factory radio from the truck.
Step 1
Turn off the radio after removing any tapes or CDs you may have in it.
Step 2
Insert your DIN tools into the openings on the sides of the radio (see the diagram). Push the tools in firmly until you feel a click. Now push outward on the tools and pull the radio toward you.
As the radio slides out of the dash, put a hand underneath it to hold it up, and unplug the connectors on the back. There will be two of these--one for the antenna and one for the speaker and wiring connections.
