How to dismantle the radio and air vents on the Fiat Panda.

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Car stereo

In this video, we will see how to remove the air vents and the car radio from the dashboard of the Fiat Panda. The vents can easily break, so they need to be replaced, but to remove them, it is necessary to first take out the radio, because there is a screw underneath the vents that holds the entire assembly in place. Let's see how to do it: we will need some keys to pull out the radio, which can be found, for example, on E-Bay with the code 226122176640, priced at 6.90 for the pair, plus 7.00 euros for shipping. Just insert the keys into the holes and pull, and the radio will come out. There is no need to disconnect the connectors; just place it in a safe spot. We will only need to unscrew the T25 screw that secures the vents from underneath. This is not the easiest operation, as a screwdriver won't fit; we will have to do it with a ratchet, but once this screw is removed, the vent assembly comes out easily. To restore the functionality of the vents, we just need to reattach the levers that have simply come loose. Then we put them back in their place.
