• Well, my radio is fixed, and now I have two Coldplay X&Y CDs (Anyone want one - barely scratched?).  Ford told me that they couldn't fix the stereo, and it had to be broken, then replaced for about $500.  I went to an auto parts store, bought a $7 tool to remove the stereo and then in about 20 minutes I had the CDs out.  I didn't even have to unscrew or take apart anything.  I just followed the instructions I found on the internet and unplugged the power, tilted the stereo, then plugged it in.  Needless to say, I'm trying to write a letter of complaint to Ford and their repair center.

  
  

  So if you ever have a problem with Ford factory stereos, and Ford tells you they have to replace it... DON'T!  (And don't push CDs in, because their stereos can't handle it)
