How to remove stereo out of 2006 Ford Explorer?

How do you remove the factory stereo deck for a 1997 ford explorer?

• Answer:

  This is all there is to it: Remove the two bolts just under the lip below the radio deck (just above the air conditioning controls). Then slip your fingernails or a flathead screw driver beneath the black encasing that shields the deck, air cond. controls, and the two vents. Once you pull off the encasing, the deck should come out with it. Take a flathead screw driver and undo the two clips that are holding the deck (one on each side). The deck should now slide out of the encasing through the front away from the dashboard. Unplug the wires and there you go!
