To install a new aftermarket car radio, first remove the original radio and obtain the appropriate extraction keys. You will also need an adapter to fit the new radio (which will likely be smaller than the original), the corresponding fascia, the antenna cable adapter, and the wiring connector to link the aftermarket stereo to the original wiring.

Insert the keys into the four slots at the corners of the radio, with the notches facing inward, until you release the retaining springs and pull it out from its housing, disconnecting the plugs attached to it. Then connect the adapter wiring to the original plugs (the video shows the correspondence between wire colours and their functions) and then connect the new radio; insert it into the housing ensuring it fits and locks correctly.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
