how do you remove the stock radio from a 2000 Ford focus zx3

Go to Walmart in the car stereo section. In there, there are these packs of 2 U-shaped metal rods. If you buy theses, stick them in the correct holes in the radio then it will pop right out.

Not positive on the 2002 Zx5, but on my 2003 Zx3 and most Ford models, you need to get a special tool to remove the stereo. It's two pieces of wire shaped like small horseshoes with special notches on the ends. All you do is insert these into the four holes on the edge of the face of the radio, bend them outward, and pull it out. Just don't stick them in too far or they'll be in there forever.

You can pick up this tool at most automotive places. I got mine at a Napa store for a couple bucks.

Focus owners have had multiple problems with their multi-disc CD changers. For me, replacing it with the same model (Audiophile) just led to the same problems. However, when I changed to a new brand, my sub-woofer wouldn't work as only the factory radio is compatible with that factory speaker. You'll have to drop a couple hundred bucks extra to get a sub-woofer that works with your new stereo.

Best of luck!

How do you remove a stock radio in a 2001 ford focus se?

You are going to need a Ford radio tool. If you look at the front of your radio you will see two small holes on each side about an inch apart. There is a tool that slips into those holes and locks in. Then you apply outward pressure to both at once and the radio slips right out. You might check with your local auto parts store and see if they have one you can borrow.


Removal of stock stereo in 2001 Mazda protege?

According to my brother (who is a mechanic), The stock stereo in the protege requires radio removal tools (2 sets) to remove -- you can get them at just about any parts store. Just carefully remove the molding around the radio, insert the tools all the way and then pull them outward to release the clips. The radio should just slide out.
