remove stereo (then cage and pocket if not factory unit), theres (I think) 2 screws on either side in where the stereo lives. after that it just pops out. If in any spots it feels a bit tight, you've missed a srew. Oh theres also a couple of screws behind the ashtray

Yep the 4 holes. The manual says to use a special tool from Ford or make one from a wire coat hanger. I wrecked a faceplate trying the coathanger. Asked the Ford dealer for the tool, they'd never heard of it & sent me to a car audio specialist. They'd never seen a special tool either, they use 1/8" or 3mm drill bits in the holes...
