How do you remove the radio from your Audi? Let's look at the removal of the radio and the installation of the new one in the Audi A3. Insert the keys into the holes on the plastic cover of the radio (upper plastic), pull the stereo towards you, and carefully extract the radio while being mindful of the various wiring (disconnect the power connectors and the antenna cable).
