How to replace the car stereo of the BMW 1 Series

Model: BMW Serie 1 E82, MK 1, E87, E81 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Car stereo

The following video tutorial shows us the steps to replace the radio of the 2012 BMW 1 Series. To remove the original radio, we need to remove the trim using a plastic removal tool that we will insert into the top right corner. Disconnect the air conditioning connector and then unscrew the two radio locking screws and disconnect the connector and antenna cable. Before installing the new radio, it is necessary to file the edges of the air conditioning vents. Insert the air conditioning controls into the new trim. Connect the antenna cable and wiring to the new stereo and proceed with the installation in the car.
