If you own a Citroen Xsara-Picasso and want to replace the factory radio unit, this guide explains how to proceed. Using a small flathead screwdriver, lift the two side tabs on the front panel and raise them; this will allow access to the Torx screws that need to be unscrewed and removed.

This operation will enable you to remove the tabs and then extract the entire radio unit. Now, disconnect all electrical connections.

After verifying the wiring compatibility, take the new radio unit, reconnect the electrical connections, and carefully push it into its slot until it clicks into place. Now insert the front panel frame.

Insert the front panel and test the result.
