Just setting up my new truck and want to connect my XM radio FM modular system. What is the procedure for removal of the radio/CD player unit? The new dash does not have the holes for the specail removal tool, so I guess the method has changed.

 

Just had mine replaced. Will talk to my buddy who did the install and get back to you on sunday

 

Just remove the dash cover and there are 4 screws that hole the radio in place, it is so much better than the old style with the holes

 

If it is a superduty their is a radio removal tool. You can find them at a parts store, they reach into the four holes in the radio and release a spring like locking mechanism, then you can pull the radio out.

 

They have changed the '05 Superduty radio. They went to a bolt-in style rather than the old spring lock type.

 

Thanks for the help. Next question is how do I rmove the dash cover? By the way, this is such a great forum for getting answers and great info. Thanks to everyone that contributes. I hope to be able to return the favor.

 

Grap a hold of the dash just above the cluster and pull straight out. Then reach behind and remove all the plugs that are hooked up.
