all you do is stick your fingers at the bottom of it where the cupholders/ashtray depending on what package you got and pull it back, just be careful because the wiring for the airbag light is there and doesn't have much lentgh to move it around

 

sooo...just grab it at the bottom and pull forward and the whole thing sort of peels out and up - radio and all? No screws anywhere - just clips?

 

The panel just comes off but you have to disconnect the airbag light and the AC and then the radio, its held by 4 screws I believe they are 6 mm but not sure, this is not hard to do, give me your email and i will send you a copy of how to remove it, it might take a while because i have to go to night school, but i will send it as quick as possible

 

If you don't mind sharing, could you please email me as well: connradd2000@yahoo.com


Thanks...

 

Polo -
Thanks, that's great! Please send info to: steve.payne@comcast.net

 

At least Ford kept the radio bezel easy to remove for the F150. Damn near snapped the Explorer trim bezel trying to remove it. Just didn't want to let go.

 

but it makes it easier for thieves as well

 

Hey, I got the bottom part poped off but i dont know how to get the top part off, it seems to be stuck at the very top where the airbag light is. abrahamson-taylor@comcast.net

You need to unplug the the wire going to the airbag light. It should be realitivly easy after you get that done.

 

can someone forward those pics to vickracing187@yahoo.com im installing the eclipse avn5500 into my 05 king ranch supercrew this weekend...im going to keep detailed pics and post them asap

 

i try to email to you at night, im at college right now, I go to college at night and sleep in the day

 

Guys if you want the pictures just email me at polo2005@sbcglobal.net I dont have time to read all the forums so i might leave you out, I try to get them to you as fast as I can, Thanks

 

This might be too late but....

1. Open the ash tray (or cup holder). Starting at the bottom corners pull the bezel straight out. The bottom clips should pop out.

2. Move your fingers on the side all the way to the next set of clips...pull straight out.

3. Repeat step 2.

4. Disconnect the airbag light at top and the other plugs (AC, cig lighter, etc.).

If the white little fuzzy clips stayed in the slots, pop them out and put them back on the bezel before replacing it.

Hope this helps!

 

Polo,

Sent you my email.

Thanks
