Locate four small holes on the face of the radio. Insert the (Ford Radio Removal DIN Tools) into these holes until you hear and feel a light click. Press outward on the DIN tools while at the same time pulling on them to slide the radio out of its cavity. Disconnect any wiring to the radio and set it aside in a safe place.
Locate two (2) 9/32” hex head screws just above the climate control. Remove these screws with the 9/32” socket and driver. Place the screws in a safe place. Grasp the trim bezel that surrounds both the radio and climate control in the upper right corner. Carefully use your fingers to grab and pull the bezel toward you releasing the top right clip. Perform this same action in all four (4) corners of the bezel releasing the remaining three (3) clips. When the bezel is loose, let it hang out of the way or prop it out of the way just enough to get to the climate control. Note: Be careful not to scratch the dash.
Locate the four (4) screws that hold the climate control in place. Use the 9/32” socket and driver to remove these screws. Set the screws aside. Carefully slide the climate control out enough to get the Custom Bezel Mount behind the right side of the climate control. Align the holes in the Custom Bezel Mount with the mounting holes for the climate control. Slide the climate control back into place. Replace the four (4) mounting screws and tighten them down. Locate two (2) holes in the Custom Bezel Mount just to the right of the climate control. Use these holes as a guide and carefully drill two (2) pilot holes using the 5/64” drill bit and drill. Carefully point the drill at an angle and make sure not to come in contact with the climate control, this will prevent damage. Insert the two (2) screws provided and tighten them with the #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Reinstall the dash trim bezel and radio in reverse order, secure all clips, screws and wiring. Install any Bracketron phone holder or Amps compatible device to your Custom Bezel Mount.
