Guest famasfilms Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hi, I have put a deposit down on a 1990 Mark 4 xr3i cabriolet, once the current owner gets an MOT done it will be mine It has the original radio/cassette in, how easy is this to take out? The only Escort removal keys I could find on Ebay say they are not compatible http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-ESCORT-BLACK-STEREO-RADIO-FASCIA-LEAD-AERIAL-KEYS-/300584689735?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item45fc3e6047 I have a modern Pioneer head unit, will this go straight in to the xr3i without the need for any extra adaptors or wiring?

RScab Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 That link is for a Mk5 1990 - 1992 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest famasfilms Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I realise that, where can I source keys for a mk4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest corsairnutta Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Get a metal coat hanger, cut into four straight pieces, slot carefully into the holes, can be a bit more difficult than using the proper keys but costs nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest famasfilms Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Do compatible keys even exist for a Mk 4? Where can I source these from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Paul Posted April 11, 2013 Admin Share Posted April 11, 2013 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-MONDEO-FOCUS-VAUXHALL-CORSA-RENAULT-CLIO-RADIO-STEREO-REMOVAL-PINS-KEYS-/121080416083?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item1c30f48753 These will do you to remove the standard radio, the link you put up also includes these keys but you dont need all the other items as they are for a Mk5 Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest famasfilms Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Picked up my cabriolet today and had a bash at removing the stereo but can't seem to do it. Here are the tools I am using There is a bit of give but it refuses to come out, what am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
