taking out headunit?
Just got a 94 Lightning and it has a kenwood deck and I want to put my Alpine in it. How does the old one come out? I cant figure it out. My 86 you just pop the radio bezel off and you can pull it out.


Thanks.

you need to slip some thin but strong metal on both sides.

google the model number/brand for a pdf manual.

it should cover it.

it does not use the ford tools.
