You need to purchase the correct tool. Jaycar should sell them. I believe they are called a torx bit.

Or you could grind/cut the top off with a grinder or a dremel. Lots of fun!! vrblou02 wrote: any1 no the code so i can reset the factory radio
You will need to contact Ford with the VIN and they should be able to look it up for you. The code is unique to the car. Best opiton is to go and buy an el cheapo CD player. BenJ

If its the same screws that are in the ef/el's then bunnings sell the peices(no idea what they are called) in a set to get em out.

Its just a hex bit with a hollow end... (because the screw head has a pin in the middle.)

gee i cant belive no one knows what they are. its a torx bit, you can buy kits. i belive its a t6 bolt, so a size 6 torx bit will do it, can get a set from bunnings for about 30 bucks aint no special tool at all. super s**t used to sell them aswell, also if u have a total tools they sell em.

Nothing worse than buying a car to find that the previous owner had butchered the screws because they couldn't be bothered going to super crap and buying a $15-$20 set of torx bits
 (also known as a security bit set if you go to d**k Smith, Tandy, Jaycar etc) As everybody has already said they are everywhere. Buy the right tool, do the job right right first time. my 2 cents 
Mick PS. I can post up a pic of what they look like if that helps
