you are going to have to pull the plastic inner fender well on the passenger side, then you should be able to reach up from the bottom & unscrew nut holding old antenna & remove. repeat process in reverse to install.
you have to buy a kit, the kit will come with two U shaped tools, these insert into holes on the side of the oem stereo and are the only way to pull it out.
You have to get a special dash kit, due to the "cube" style OEM stereo. whether you have the blank pocket above the ash-tray, or there is an EQ, the new stereo will go into that pocket. You can also purchase a piece to replace the cube portion, or you can leave the accessory attached and use it for a clock. You will also need; an antenna adapter, extra wire, as the existing has to be extended, a wiring harness, a dash kit, which you will probably have to order from crutchfields.com, and a whole lot of patience.
You buy a new operating system and install that.
Yes, that's correct. You must have an OEM DVD to install this. Retail DVD's will not work with this key code.
Not on an OEM stereo... it was some years afterwards before that became a thing.

You should use that OEM prodict key number, unless you have another system with a key.
I don't think so. I use the FM antenna that comes with the Sirius radio to broadcast a signal to the FM radio. The problem here is that the built-in antenna on the Windstar is a piece of junk. It barely works as is. I have been told that there is a small amplifier in the right d-pillar that amplifys the antenna signal to the radio. If this is bad or if power has been lost, reception is reduced. I have not found evidence of this amplifier on the schematics. This does not however mean it isn't there. Good luck. I will follow up after I have had a chance to look at the antenna system in more detail. Carl
if you go yo a store that sells car radios they should have adaptor harnese for your chevy for oem hookup
OEM recommends every 75k miles. I have 170k on mine and have not had a problem.
1.Remove all 3 HVAC knobs.2. Unscrew 2 screws inside pocket holding it to the trim panel, both screws are inside at the top.3. Unscrew 2 screws behind temperature knob and vent selector knob.4. Remove trim panel around radio and HVAC controls.5. Unscrew 4 screws holding radio in place, two on left, two on right.6. Pull radio out.7. Unscrew 2 screws from adapters, one on each side.8. Remove wiring harness and antenna cable.The OEM stereo is chassis grounded, meaning the ground for the stereo is built into the case of the stereo, so when you install a new stereo you'll have to hook the ground wire to a suitable ground (I'd attach it to the screw from Step #5).
