To facilitate the disassembly process, shift the gear lever all the way back and cover it with a cloth to prevent scratches. Next, using plastic trim tools, detach the center trim of the dashboard, the one with the wood effect, (it is secured with pressure clips) and unscrew the screws securing the climate control knobs: it will come off along with the frame surrounding the CD and DVD player openings. At this point, you can unscrew the screws securing the original car radio, pull it forward, and disconnect the connectors attached to it.
