I recently bought a 98 Contour SE Sport and it had the factory deck in. I have an existing deck from my pervious car (Kenwood MP3) that I want to install but I don't know how to take the factory deck out. I don't have keys and I noticed this deck has 4 small holes (2 on either side) and I think that is where the keys go to remove it but I'm not 100% sure.I was thinking that that was just a a faceplate cover. Does someone have any tips or tricks on how to get the factory deck out of the Contour?

I think it was 5 bucks or so. All you do is take the two tools, put them in the holes, bend out slightly and pull.

It's probably the easiest thing I've ever done car audio wise. 2003 Ford Focus ZX3 "Tarmac" http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2352003
