Using a plastic tool to avoid damaging the bodywork, pry at the sides of the dashboard cover to unclip the plastic retainers and remove it. Also using a plastic tool, pry at the sides of the console panel to remove it and access the retaining screws of the radio.

Unscrew the screws of the radio panel to completely slide the radio out of its housing.

Carefully remove the radio by lifting it to allow disconnection of the connectors located at the back. Install the new radio by reversing the operations.
