these older units in the ford trucks and cars are always a pain guess one way is to destroy the face lmao it just wouldnt come out without something breaking.
I have an aftermarket radio in mine and want to replace it. However, can't seem to find out how to get it out of the dash. Doesn't look like I can use the coat hanger trick.
Quick tip for everyone. I see everyone using wire and other flimsy stuff. Don’t do that!! Use two small screw drivers, just small enough the head fits through the holes. Start on an angle outwards then push the handles outwards as you pull back, I’ve done it a few times and it’s not that hard
Nope it's not that hard don't mean everyone has little screw drivers laying around when they decide to upgrade from factory radio. Key is to work with what you have. If your not saving the old radio what's it matter of it breaks
sbmiller100 fair enough, just figured I’d drop a comment for those who want to save them, personally I just installed a factory deck I found in my truck to replace the aftermarket one
@@Beandiptheredneck That's cool if you have factory one that works mine was static and glitched alot like most do if I had a good factory I'd put it back in as well
@@Beandiptheredneckmy bro and I built my truck.. The only thing we didn't touch was cab and int. Everything else has been redone I have a short video posted but need to get all my pics together and show the build. Only thing I have left is to finish the body work and paint it.
Doing my 95. Bought my sony off ebay. Look carefully as you may find a deal with the wire tool and the wire kit. Just read the manual its all too simple amymore. Oh yeah busted my faceplate too lol Thanks
Doing mine right now having the same damn problem. Think ill spray just tiny shot of WD in those holes. Thank you for posting..Because we all. Hate breaking things. And plastic doesn't hold up over time. As in those. Damn plastic vacuum lines. I just re did on my 26 year old Bronco amazing how nice it runs now.actullay removed the pvc all togather. & put a Tiny KN filter on end of the hose at vavle Cover AS A BREATHER. WE dont need dirty air and carbon build up in our top ends do we.?. Does more damage than good. And don't Plug that hole . or youll. Build up Pressure. Blowout oil pan and vavle cover Gaskets. Let it just breathe . is what i did .or some people will route A hose from pvc to the Air intake side Under the Air filter instead. So its at least some what filtered air instead.. It help preserve the top end . I have 263k + on 5.8 roller motor & its still going strong.. Ford did come out with a roller cam in some of their motors from the factory. Starting in late 1993.on 5.8 Peace and blessing to all. Runs better and helps On MPG.
I put one those cassette adapters that adapt into a aux cord in my radio and when i click eject it says error 2. Do u know how to fix that? There is a cord hanging from my radio now and dosent look clean. Any suggestion to get it out or fix the error.?
After you changed out the radio did all your static noises go away? I have a 1992 and mostly every station is static. I just replaced all the speakers and still have static. I also have a jvc radio but haven’t put it in yet.

@@sbmiller100 I just did mine today but I have the wrong harness and it won’t work, I can’t find the Luca farace one on Amazon either, do you know what else will work? Great video by the way. Very helpful!
Inside them holes there's a small metal piece that locks it in when you push in need to pull it to the center of radio on both sides it sometimes needs a good swift wiggle too
Vili Tupou Yea just need a wiring adapter for that year and make then match and connect wires to back of unit then plug into factory harness. Very simple without cutting anything... can get them for about 8 bucks on Amazon
Wedge 2 butter knifes on the sides and it’ll pop right out. You just have to get it passed the little tabs holding it in.
Thanks for your 2am wisdom sir.
Thanks for this. Still useful. On my 1995, the antenna fell out. Just a quick pull, plug and replace.
Hey I did the same thing when taking out my old Radio. Damn I don't feel bad now. LOL
I sure do appreciate your video ! I have a 96 F-150, no sound out of the old cassette player, or the radio
Thank you for the very clever video with the hanger.

sbmiller100 I have 2 actually 😂 I’m a parts hoarder and working on a partial restoration so I’m going for as close to factory as I can

Awesome video, thanks.
How do you take out the new unit? Does it just get stuck in the dash?
Wish I had that answer, I think I’m gonna take off this beauty ring and see if I can’t slide it out

Be patient he says and then proceedes to use plyers and rips radio apart
Thank you. That was very helpful.
I have the red interior too. But my outside is two-tone, red and black. I want to keep my old radio and just try and figure out why it’s not working.
same
Not sure but I don't think think it's supposed to come out in multiple pieces.
There is the PROPER removal tool for the ford radios. Amazon, ebay, walmart, all sells them
ha ha why waste money when I have tons of hangers? I make due with what I have if I'm only using it once lol

So you just bought a wiring harness for the radio and connected all the wires, then they plugged right into the existing ones, nice
i cant find the radio harness for my 94 ford f150 flareside
That looks like a radio I in my wife's Oldsmobile.
I got power but no sound!!!
I have the same problem did you ever figure it out?
i have one of these trucks with an after market stereo in there and no face plate.. how do i get that one out??
Great video very helpful 👍
Thanks for the tips man appreciate it
followed steps provided; even broke the faceplate. found out the plugs don't fit my new stereo.
Most aftermarket radios arnt plug and play. you need to buy a wiring harness for almost every one lol should of done more research beforehand
+Nuxxy wasn't original stereo but now I know
I’ve got a similar problem and can’t find a harness, did you ever find one
nice vid bro i knew u put it up first time watchin it tho we need to get a good vid of our subs bassin and slow it down for wicked flex
Easy out how do you wire speakers to og amp and where is the old amp located?
you pushed them in way to far. you was only post to go about half way in instead of forcing them in to the back, just saying.
After you changed out the radio did all your static noises go away? I have a 1992 and mostly every station is static. I just replaced all the speakers and still have static. I also have a jvc radio but haven’t put it in yet.
No I had static before the change now out of 3 vehicles that picks up best stations in my area
Did your radio come with the metal bracket/dash piece or did you buy it separately?
Comes with new head unit normally already on unit and you need to take it off to install it for new unit to slide in

Not to sure you would have to check your owners manual for your car under radio function so see if there are any tips or tricks
@@sbmiller100 alright man thanks
Mine is sitting most of the way out but can get it out all the way

where did you buy that in dash wiring harness? do you have a part name or something been looking for them everywhere
Luca Farace aftermarket stereo wiring harness can find them cheap on Amazon and eBay

@@jacksoroka4971 Hey Jack ! Crutchfield out of Virginia, and they're very nice folks down there ! Good luck guy.
I can’t get mine to budge any suggestions?

What car stereo is that?
Vili Tupou Just a cheap jvc unit. Only reason I changed it was cause the old factory one was full of static sound
You could use any car stereo for the 94 Ford F-150?
Vili Tupou Yea just need a wiring adapter for that year and make then match and connect wires to back of unit then plug into factory harness. Very simple without cutting anything... can get them for about 8 bucks on Amazon
Vili Tupou any after market unit can be hooked up that way.
Aight cool thanks
Hey how do you take the aftermarket unit out?
When you take the ring around face plate off there are spots to stick little flat tool in each side and it unlocks it from the mount
No …
W.t.heck! The part I needed to see yo ass didn't put ur camera on what u were messing with
