To remove the car radio from this vehicle, you need a suitable small screwdriver. Locate the two screws at either end of the radio that need to be removed using the screwdriver.

The screws are hidden under two small covers that must be lifted. To extract the radio, simply pull it back by grasping it from the cassette compartment.

Next, disconnect the antenna cable and, for any repairs or to obtain a replacement, take note of the numbers that make up the radio's code.
