Guys, would it be hard to remove the factory GLi headunit and install one of these to the factory speakers?

You'll have to mount it sticking out a bit, so the headunit clears the bulge above it when it flips out.
Get one of those adaptor plugs from supercheap, that go from ford plug to bare wires, so you don't have to chop your factory plug off.

don't forget about the ford factory anti theft screws that you need special screwdriver attachments for, for more info check the tech document section

One more thing.. I have to ground the Brake Sensor wire... can I use the same ground point as the black ground wire? (which would be the ground from the factory headunit)
