Dismantling and Removing the Car Radio

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

To remove the car radio, if you do not have the proper tools, obtain small diameter metal rods bent into a "U" shape; thick wire or stiff wire may also suffice. To extract the radio, insert the "U" rods into the holes near the corners of the front panel: the metal rods will unlock the clips that hold the radio to the dashboard. Then pull the radio out while pulling the tools used, trying to hold the front panel with your fingers; once extracted, disconnect the stereo from the system by removing the connectors and the antenna.

Replace the damaged bulb with a new one (same size and voltage). Refit the light into its housing (push it in with your hands until the metal clips are fully locked). Test the light's functionality before completely refitting the piece.
