To take out the stock headunit, u need the 2 ford keys (they go into the holes on either side of the front facia). Try online or Autobarn for them (or even Ford :S, should be around 5-10 bucks) That will unlock the unit from the mounting bracket. Just put the keys in the little holes on either side of the deck and push them in until you hear it click. Then pull them outwards (away from each other) and you should feel the deck kind of loosen and start to come out. Just wiggle it back and forth till it comes out, unplug the harness and antenna, and you're done.
