Removing Factory Radio Question

[mannyjfk]

I am trying to remove the factory radio so I can install a Pioneer radio. The factory one my 02 Explorer has does not have the 4 holes ( 2 in each side of the radio) therefore the UTool is useless. Can anyone point me the right way so I can remove the old radio?

Thanks

ou need to remove the center trim around the radio and a/c controls. This pops out with a little persuasion. Then you will see some screws that hold the radio in place. Remove these and pull radio out and disconnect wiring and antenna.
