Default 2005 stereo replacement instructions

Hello Guys,
I will replace my OEM 6 disc stereo on my F150.
Is just that I do not want to do a mess.
Do anyone of you have a link to installation intructions? or can let me know how to start?

You need a wiring harness adapter.
You need a single din adapter (unless replacing with a double din stereo)

Begin by wiring the harness adapter to the after market stereo. Its usually color coded but double check the writing on the wires.

Pull off the housing around the Stereo and the Ac controls. Its the whole center piece. (might be tough if you have never done it before) I prefer to start at the top. Use needle nose pliers to remove all the clips from the dash and put them back on the housing. (helps when you put it back together)

Unplug the passenger air bag light sensor on the top. (you may want to unplug everything else to make your job easier, but it is not a must)

Take out the 4 screws that hold the stereo in.
Unplug all the connectors. Install the housing adapter, the stereo, and all the plugs. Bolt it up, plug all the AC stuff back in, plug the passenger airbag back in, line up the face plate, snap it back in...

Thats the brief run down of it. There are full instructions with pics floating around here somewhere...
