I have a 2006 ranger, and i want to install my amps and sub from my pathfinder into my new ride. I can't figure out how to get at the back of the factory deck.There is no bezel for the radio and the dash seems pretty molded..Do I have to take out the grey trim that goes around by the sterring wheel and the AC vents out or are there special tools that are used to pull the head unit forward.

 

not too sure about 06's but most fords have 4 holes, to on each side that are small. if you have these just get the ford headunit removal tools

 

also look right below your radio there are two bolts...remove them... then remove the whole bezel with the radio in it ... on each side of the radio there are clips you can push in to remove the radio.

 

lol..funny you mention that!!! the clip on the right side of the radio (as you are looking at it) broke on me, so that was the only way i could get my radio out!!!

 

no bolts/ screws i have checked.... it looks like i will need to get the removal tools. Anywhere i can try online to grab them as they are more than likely not to be found anywhere on the island{price we pay for living in the tropics.

 

any audio site
i.e.
sounddomain.com
crutchfield.com

 

duh !

 

Most auto parts stores have them too. I got mine a walmart

 

okay i looked at ford.com and the 06 radio bezel is the same as mine...where the red circles are there should be 2 bolts/screws or 2 holes on the lower edge of the plastic piece...

if there are bolts/screws remove them...if there are holes then you can just grip the edges of the bezel and give it a good tug...it will will come off with the radio attached

 

I think his truck is diffferent then ares cause he has a ranger with the 4 door deal and diesel(the ones we cant get in the states) so his truck is pry different. Just a thought?

 

wow i didnt even pay attention to that...disregard then

 

yep...interior is totally different{I like screws}. No holes at front of deck for pins either, but i think there are clips at the side of the unit.Will check it out this week.

 

this guy needs to post pics of everything


i want one just buy seeing the description

 

LOL i no right, they need to start sending those models to the states.

 

Rocky

 

i dunno about a 06 but my 91 i had to take out the dash, heating control, and ashtray just to get to the tape deck to replace it

 

damn i hope don't..too much work..not enough beer!
