I previous diagram I received was for the removal of the cluster display but in that diagram, it doesn't state how to take out the radio.

The vehicle listed above is a 2024 Lincoln Navigator.

That isn't a radio, it is only a display screen for the systems in the truck. The actual radio is mounted under the dash just above the center console. However, you cannot simply remove it. You need a dealer level scan tool to use to download the modules programming. Then you remove the liner from the console. Then you remove the trim panels and finally the radio module. Then you reverse the process to install the replacement. However, you need to use the scan tool to update the new unit so that it will operate.
If you mean the screen, it is nothing but a screen, the cover behind it pops off from the dash, under it you will find 4 screws, remove them and then remove the center vent trim panel. With it out of the way you can remove the screws and gently pull the screen down and out, then you can disconnect the ducts and wire connections.
What is the issue with the display?

Thanks for the info. I see thats its 4 7mil screws. The question I need know does the bezel come out surrounding the vent ducks or does the whole vent assembly with bezel pop out then remove the 4 screws.
