To remove the car radio, first detach the plastic trim surrounding the radio itself, including the air vents, the instrument cluster trim, and the hazard light switch: use a small plastic lever to detach the trim and disconnect the power connector of the switch.

Next, unscrew the fixing screws of the radio and the glove compartment below (located on the sides) and pull it out from its housing, disconnecting the relevant connectors.

Ensure you have the activation code before proceeding with the removal.
