Instructions for Disassembling the Car Radio

Model: Citroen C5 DC, MK 1 - Years 2000-2008
Part: Car stereo

Disassembling the car radio is extremely simple and does not require special tools: simply remove the plastic caps located at both ends of the radio (lever with a small screwdriver, taking care not to damage the edges of the caps) to access the fixing screws; at this point, unscrew the four screws at the corners and pull the radio forward from its seat, disconnecting the connectors attached to it. Before disconnecting it, however, it is advisable to ensure you have the activation code available, which is essential for reactivating it.
