To remove the factory car radio, you need the appropriate extraction keys to insert into the slots located at the four corners of the radio. Insert the keys with the beveled edge facing inward, pressing them in until they reach the end of the slot to release the retaining springs; slightly force the keys sideways to extract the radio and disconnect the corresponding connectors.
