How to remove the radio from a BMW Z4? Let's carefully see in this video how to perform the disassembly: use plastic or metal levers to remove the stereo; insert the keys into the edges of the trim (the plastic of the air vents), pull towards you (as shown in the video), and remove the vents.

Unscrew the screws securing the stereo, being careful of the various wiring (disconnect the power connectors and the antenna cable).

Finally, reinstall the original radio or a generic brand with the appropriate adapter for the input and for connecting the terminals.
