good quality
kelley from Bakersfield, CA on 9/2/2023
2003 Ford Ranger
these kind of worked for me but I think someone had messed up the factory mounting of my OEM unit. I've used them before on other Factory ford units but for this one in particular they did not work very well. good quality product though.
Pros: nice product
Cons: didn't work for me but it was due to Factory mounts being messed up.

Your results will vary
Brian from Ruther Glen, VA on 7/19/2023
2009 Ford Ranger
There is nothing wrong with the tool, but as many utube videos indicated your results may vary. I tried several times with no luck. When I took the dash panel out I could see the tool was going to the inside of the clip rather than the outside were it would release. There was nothing I could do differently, just luck of the draw I guess.

Pros: Strong/well made/durable
Cons: None to speak of, but you will have to figure out the combination/best method of operation yourself, if you have never used them. So a little OJT is good. ;)

Couldn't have done without these. At first I thought that the holes in my radio were for a very small screwdriver. So happy that I found Crutchfield. All the info and tools you need!!!

Works as advertised. Slide the tools into the holes on the front of the receiver and the receiver just slides right out.
Pros: Works as advertised.
Cons: Could probably do the same with a coat hanger if you know what you are doing.

Crutchfield/Metra Makes It Easy
Eric from Lumberton, TX on 11/4/2021
There is no way around getting your factory Ford radio out without these keys. I started using these radio removal tools/keys in my 92 Ford truck and with me buying a new Ford truck every year until 2002 they have used the same keys. Unless you cut your dash up, there is really no way around using these keys every time. If you drive a different make of vehicle or have a newer than an 2004 Ford, you might have a different set of keys or a different way to remove your radio but don't worry, Crutchfield has you covered. They know what it takes to remove your factory radio and if anything special is needed, Crutchfield will send it at no extra charge. When you buy a radio from Crutchfield, you will get your vehicle specific wiring instructions, the tools for getting your old radio out, wiring harness that lets you plug your new radio into your factory harness and a trim kit that will make your install look like a professional installed it. If you look at the pic you would never know the factory radio was a double din that needed the REMOVAL TOOLS/KEYS to remove. With the RADIO REMOVAL TOOLS and the trim kit Crutchfield provides, the double din hole is now a single din and all of this is included with the price of the radio. Kudos to Crutchfield.
Pros: Metra removal tools included at no extra charge. Allows you to pull factory radio without tearing up your dash and with any skill level you can make your install look professional and quicker.
Cons: After years of using Metra products, I've never had a problem

Necessary tool
Crutchfield customer from Eastampton, NJ on 9/21/2021
I've used these a few times over the years. They're the only way to get a stock radio out. The first time I needed these many years ago they were hard to find, it's really great to have them here and to get a reminder message asking if I needed them for install. Thanks for making the whole process so easy crutchfield!
