Remove the Non-Working Car Stereo (Not Turning On)

Model: Audi A4 B6 - Years 2000-2004
Part: Car stereo

First, you need to remove the car stereo from its housing. To do this, use special release tools that you insert into the designated holes located above and below the buttons in the four corners. If you only have two tools, proceed one side at a time. Insert the two tools into the holes on the right, and once the stereo is released, pull that side towards you. Next, insert the two tools into the holes on the left and pull towards you to extract the stereo. Disconnect the antenna cable, power cable, and speaker wires (simply press the side clip and pull outward). Finally, remove the jumper stuck behind the stereo as shown in the images. The car on which this maintenance operation is performed is an Audi A4.
