There is a tool that you put into the holes and press
on clips to remove the radio. You may also be able to use two pieces of a metal coat hanger bent to put in there and depress the clips.

You can buy or make your own tools or use four very small screwdrivers.
Buying will cost you ~$5. Making will cost you one metal clothes hanger.
Those four holes are indeed where the tools are inserted until they bottom out, then pushed outwards (towards the doors) while simultaneously pulling the radio out.
go to walmart and pick up the ford removal keys/ tool, there flat metal peices you slide in and pull and out comes the radio. don't use a screw driver and pry like my dad did to mine.... and while your at walmart get your wiring harness too.

just take of the face part around your radio the front dash part then there should be 4 or 5 screws that need to be unbolted then it will just pull out and those little slots on the front of your deck that will just take the deck facing off dont think you wanna do that
OK, seriously. I did the thing with the coat hanger. Put the ends into all holes and pushed outward away from stereo, toward doors while trying to pull stereo out. No luck. Could it be that the little clips inside the holes are pushed outward and out of position? Thinking that I'm only forcing the clips into a "V" shape instead of depressing them into or toward the unit. Grrrr. 5 more minutes of prying and I'll have to resort to a sledge hammer. =]
