Installing a radio with a CD player in your Ford Aerostar Van is a fairly simple procedure if you have the proper tools. Before installing the new radio, you must first remove the old one which is secured to the Aerostar by a series of screws. Once those screws are taken out, you can remove the old radio and install the new one very easily. The entire replacement procedure only takes twenty minutes to complete.
